I wholly agree, why give em away if someone else is willing to pay top dollar for them. Why discount if someone else will pay the asking price. You can always discount but rarely ask for more than the origional price.

good silkies are expensive as silkies are so popular. would i pay that much? Probably not since im not that into them.. most good OEGB pairs only cost 50, however i have seen some for 100 dollars and i would have bought them "in a heart beat" if i had the money.. I've seen good quality Sumatras (Which aren't very commonly seen) go for around 500 dollars (pairs), Gamefowl can sell for 100 a bird-5000 dollar a pair/trio. all depends on who your talking to, how much they want, and how much your willing to pay.. i remember a guy i talked to said he contacted a big breeder in OEGBs about some and the guy told him 500 dollars for a broodcock (that is basically. A rooster... but brood (mating, Chicks etc) cock (Rooster). So rooster that you use for breeding

) of course he didn't get it though, 500 dollars for a bantam (which might not even be the line you want cause this guy is a feather peddler (Buys other peoples birds and resells them as his). is crazy

I sold my cockbird for $70.00. I think I could have gotten more for him, but I didn't have the resources to keep the breed going.

Reminds me of the old joke...

A guy is looking through the paper one day, and sees an ad that says "Talking Dog For Sale". So, he goes to the listed address to check it out. He tells the guy who opens the door he's here to see the talking dog. "Yeah, he's in the back bedroom." The guy walks down the hall and finds the dog in bed, remote control in paw, watching TV. "Hey, how's it going?" asks the dog.

The guy is amazed. "Wow! You really are a talking dog. What's your story?"

"Well, I started out young in show business. I was in movies, but got tired of them, so I went to Broadway. Then 9/11 happened. I ran over to Ground Zero to see if I could help. I was sniffing out survivors, and bodies of the unlucky. When the country went to war, I signed up. I was sniffing bombs and helping soldiers. Well, I got shot one day. Got a Purple Heart for it, and an Honorable Discharge. I came back to the States and worked with the TSA at the airport. I tell you what, you spend a couple years sniffing luggage full of dirty underwear, and you'll be ready for retirement."

Stunned, the man walks back down the hall and asks the owner, "Why are you selling that talking dog?"

"Cause he's a big liar!"
