So this is what I did for you. I researched what they were selling for elsewhere and found an average price of $50 for a gosling. Now I don't know what the hatcheries are selling them for but I would go from there. Figure in how old yours is, male or female, but I wouldn't go below $50. I full grown goose should be more. Unless of course it's a female and she's done laying.

I have no experience with geese but this is MO.

Wish you the best

Perhaps a sebbie expert will come around and correct me, but IMO your lowest option is more like the top price she'll bring. While I'm sure she's a sweetheart, she looks to be pet quality at best -- definitely not the quality sebbie that I would expect to bring a premium price. There's nothing wrong with a pet quality bird, my favorite gander is probably the worst one according to breed standard in my whole gaggle. LOL! It's just that I'm not sure your prices are realistic given the bird. I'd start the auction at $15-$20 and hope to get $40 out of her if buyers are feeling liberal with their bidding, personally.

It seems to me in my research that a gosling of young and unproven age would start at $40. Even at this age and price you'd have no idea as to the "show" quality of the bird. This is why I said $40. Now if you can find a "show" quality goose for less than you should definitly buy it.

A little research goes a long way.

You're right a little research does go a long way. Have you looked into the market for adult birds of poor quality since that's what this thread is dealing with?

You don't have to. A picture's worth a thousand words.
