[QUOTE="Theneil, post: 167692, member: 28512"] Your analysis is wrong. The tarantula keeping hobby is actually much larger in Europe than it is in The US, it is just the forums where US sales seem to be the most prevalent. Thing of it is, unless you plan on selling illegally, you are going to be selling into your own market regardless, so i would just find local shops to sell to. The only US people who are (legally) buying from europe, are the importers, and they are buying for one of two reasons. To profit via aprbitrage. (buy in the less expensive EU market sell in the high US market) or to get something they cant find in the US. (most species are established in Europe before US gets them) So if you have the Next T. selidonia, you can charge whatever you want in either market, and if you don’t then you will sell at EU prices reguardless because the importer wont spend the time/money/effort to import if they aren't getting a good deal.
