    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is this a reasonable price

I’m rehoming one of my geckos. She’s a Golden Gate leopard gecko, sunglow. I have someone who wants to purchase her for 30, I paid 175. Advice? IMG_1254.JPG

Generally sellers do not set prices, buyers do. That said, there are a lot of factors that influence price.

- Are you willing to ship or do you prefer a local cash sale? Keeping the sale local limits the pool of potential buyers, which limits demand, and thus that decreases the price.

- How badly do you need to sell? In pawn there is a phrase: the fast money is the low money. If you can afford to wait for the right buyer to come along then you can wait for a buyer to offer a higher price. If you must rehome the critter by a specific deadline or else bad things will happen (e.g. eviction because your landlord doesn't permit pets) then that pushes down your price.

- Can you provide provenance of the critter's genetics? If you have a receipt from the seller/producer then that makes the critter more valuable to a buyer who wants to breed her. If you don't then you have a pet-quality critter.
 
Thank you! The person is local and have all the supplies for her. Parents are both sunglow. I only keep my geckos as pets no breeding.

I think you could get significantly more for that gecko if you posted a classifed ad and were willing to ship. It's not hard. I ship all the time with no problem and pretty much learned everything I know about shipping from the SYR website. The information there is pretty comprehensive.
