I saw this batch cant believe its the last one! they had like 40 of them, lol. they are good looking bunch. I been checking them out every time I go in for food I really like the group of them. they had one up for auction about a week or so ago, pretty sure it went for about 200 and thats what they ask in store.

 

[Rhetoric]

im surprised no one has offered a higher amount yet. i know its an auction but last time i looked it was at $75. if i had the room id say 200 right off the bat lol

 

[jerobi2k]

lol, the best auctions are the ones that go a little slower and stay low. the idea is to let the price slowly jump and pounce in at the end hoping to get a little break on the price. lol, not go balls out first five mins!

[turtlepunk]

I follow alot of Ben's lizard auctions. Most of them end up going for fairly close if not more than retail price. Only smoking deal I have seen on a lizard was a Torch Monitor went for $750 I believe, they usually go for about $1500.

yeah same here! it always stumps me when people bid higher than retail. my bid for the red tegu is 140 (180 with shipping). lets see how long it lasts.

Ben was selling the Torch in store for 1k, yeah I bid until its store price minus -40$ for shipping, then I figure why not just drive there and pick one up if I want it that bad, lol.

^^^ haha yeah you're one of the lucky ones who lives close enough to visit =D I'm jealous

Looks like you won the red tegu turtlepunk.

Ive seen the Torches change price a few times in the last 3weeks or so, they are so rare I think they are seeing what they can get between store/bids/kingsnake.

NICE good job on the Red gU! Turtlepunk!

 

[Rhetoric]

did you get it sarah?! that was the last bid i saw on it

 

[jerobi2k]

auction ended at 1020 and Turtle's bid was the last one in at 751.. so Im going to have to go with a yes on that one

 

[Rhetoric]

[turtlepunk]
