[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 77730, member: 3949"] As others have said, it depends on the price and the species. I've done some similar stuff, but mostly it happens when I buy a package deal and don't want some of the package! A lot of the juvies I've got listed for sale now are from a group I got in the fall. There were some among the package that I needed, and I kept the rest long enough to sex them and get to good shipping weather, and now I'm selling the ones I don't need or want. Adults and slings are the easiest to sell, but there are people who will jump on a good deal for a juvenile if the opportunity presents itself. I actually seem to have an easier time selling the more unusual species than the mainstream ones. In the past I've sold things like [I]Psednocnemis brachyramosa [/I]and some different Pamphos really fast because they're more uncommon and breeders with the opposite sex snatched them up for future projects. That's not to say that something like [I]Avicularia versicolor [/I]won't sell in 2 seconds if you post a good price. I'd pounce. I don't think any breeders would take offense. People change their interests or need to finance car repairs or move or decide they prefer arboreals to terrestrials all the time. This hobby is pretty dynamic and big on reselling. The person who sold you the babies might not even remember you by the time you're ready to sell. [/QUOTE]
