Thank you for your response. I have checked local ads and have not had much luck in locating what I need. Illinois is probably about the same in price. While I was hoping for more than $35 for her this gives me a place to start. Thanks again.
The thing to remember is that if you set too high of a price, you can always lower it later.
A man from Savannah showed up a few weeks ago to buy some poults. He wanted to dicker and was surprised I hadn't figured dickering into my original price. He then spied a serama rooster and wanted to know the price-"Not for sale" and we talked on for a couple minutes and he asked the same question about the same rooster and received the same answer. As we talked about the birds, Savannah kept asking how much? repeatedly until I got disgusted and said, "I have told you enough times, the rooster isn't for sale". He apologized with the remark that everything has a price and that he figured I was just trying to drive up the price. I told him I do not dicker as I have no patience for that kind of waste of time; what I say is what I mean; and to remember that for next time. Savannah has been here since. When he saw the serama roo he asked the same blasted question----just once.
Some people like to dicker, it's a sport to them. Any more I price $5 more than I want. They think they got some knocked off and I don't have to take losses.
I set prices. When someone complains about the price, I tell them how much it would cost to get them somewhere else. I always have gotten my price. The other thing that I do is to set a price. If it doesn't sell within a certain time frame, I raise the price. Once I get the price raised high enough, I get into a different class of buyer. They are the ones that don't question the price at all and won't even check on what is being sold if the price is below their level.
