Unfortunately it turns out I have developed a pretty bad sensitivity to roaches and can't work them or even feed them out without sneezing and getting my asthma going. Not a fun way to enjoy my hobby. Going to go back to crickets so I need to sell these ASAP.
I have a entire mature colony I need to sell. This includes 10,000s of roaches, literally multiple pounds of them (the colony, in a large rubbermaid, probably weighs 20 lbs or so). Babies being produced constantly, nice survival rate etc. I have been generously feeding a collection of 40+ breeding geckos, this year's offspring and a pair of ackies off them and they have done nothing but increase in numbers. Started from 5 different reliable roach sources, mine have been only fed organic foods and kitchen scraps from the get go.
Asking $350 for the entire colony, cage and all. They would easily go for $1500+ if sold in smaller packs (and without caging/water/eggcrate!). I just don't have the time to do it that way or the ability to handle the roaches that much otherwise I'd sell them piecemeal. This isn't a get some roaches and a few months later you can have a free food supply...its a opportunity to start producing enough roaches to feed a medium size collection today!
Local pickup in Madison, Wisconsin strongly preferred. Could also meet someone halfway to Milwaukee, Twin Cities, Iowa, Chicago etc. for the cost of gas on my end. I would consider shipping if they don't sell before the holidays. You know not to ship live stuff Christmas week right
