You few should try selling high end pre-owned automobiles... It's very similar to livestock sales. Best of luck to you all! Lol.
I fail to see how this has anything to do with what this thread is about. You're comparing apples to oranges. And making yourself look bad in the process.
From what I gather out of your mumbo-jumbo; you think that if an animal doesn't cost an arm and a leg, then it doesn't deserve the same treatment when shipping vs. an animal that costs you to remortgage your house? How is this logical to you?
I'm sorry, but no matter what amount I spend on an animal, if it's getting shipped to me, then I EXPECT the seller to do his due diligence in making sure that the animal is properly packaged when sending it to me. It is not MY concern as a buyer if the seller doesn't market their animals in such a way to make a profit. It is my concern as a buyer to receive the animal in a safe manner.
It is also not my concern as a buyer if the seller loses money because they had to make sure that the animal was packaged correctly. That is the seller's job to make sure that they price their animals with leeway in there to accommodate all necessary costs to cover shipping and supplies. So if the seller skimps on such items and precautions, that's THEIR fault, not the buyers.
So with your input that you've added to this thread, you've just shown your thinking for such things, and seem to be laying all responsibility for the shipping costs and supplies on the buyer. Which isn't so.
But please keep adding your non-helpful 2 cents into this thread. Because you are only doing two things: Making yourself look like a fool, and helping everyone understand where your mind is when it comes to shipping animals.
Tom, at what $ threshold do you consider it appropriate to include all shipping materials and abide by the terms of shipping live animals? For a lower price is it also acceptable for you that an animal have undisclosed heath problems or blemishes? I'm having a hard time understanding the logic, and the hashtag nonsense and referring to your peers as kiddos isn't helping. Seems like you're just calling then noobs again without supporting your point. I don't get it?
I wasn't quite sure why he was demeaning everyone in the thread by calling everyone "kiddos" and using childish things such as "hashtags" in a thread. But to each their own I guess...
