People who are faster/smarter/online more than me
Yeah...I'm mad at them. I leave the computer alone for a day, and suddenly very rarely offered snakes are for sale, a species that I am trying to constitute a breeding group of, and by today, when I call the phone numbers, they have all been sold. All of them. Offered at good (fresh import) prices that I can actually afford, and have actually allocated, and so instead of doing all the things I need to do today, I will stomp and around and sulk, alternately, because someone else was smarter/faster/online more than me. I did check though, and none of the animals offered were males, which makes me a little happier. (Not because I'm a bastard, but because I really, really, need some males. Or at least one.) But waitlisting myself at yet another importer doesn't seem to do me a whole lot of good- understandably, if you are not a friend/big client, they never seem to be in a huge rush to call me and offer me a reasonably quick selling item first.
Better luck next time.
