I sell 'em - or Walmart gets 'em :(

[saganco]

Final blow out price! I absolutely HAVE to get these fish and their 65g tank out of here before the first of August – so here’s the FINtastic deal:

5 Fully grown mature unsexed (so don't ask) Honduran Red Points for $5. Shipping will be $24.50 via priority mail (don’t worry - I have shipped to South Texas in the heat of the summer and had it take 4 days - all were still fine). Our excellent track record is due to the medical grade oxygen and the outstanding shipping chemicals that give us such great success with even slow deliveries.

Express mail, should you decide to go that way, would be $59.40 – however, because of our rural location, usps will not “delivery guarantee" for the next day – so it likely will take 2 days (which is what priority states anyway). I’m happy to help you save money on the shipping.

If I can't sell them for a buck apiece, they're going to the dreaded WALMART - where I fear their future will not be a pleasant one. I hope I don't have to do that - but they ALL absolutely have to be gone by the first of August.

Here’s pics of my little beauties:

if no luck here, why not aquabid them?

 

[saganco]

Tried aquabid - didn't work out for some reason. But I'll try again with the same package I have here. I have 52 of them to move out though...

try NYcichlids.com as well. Plenty of ppl there will pay that shipping without a problem.
all else fails theres craigslist

 

[Fishy_Fun]

is there a local club that will take them for you?

 

[Sweetheart]

If there is a LFS in your area then take them there. That's what I had to do one time. You might wanna call first, But they'll take them right off your hands.

Will Wal-Mart take them? I know my Wal-Mart will not take live fish, I don't think most chain stores will. Have you tried your LFS's?

 

[saganco]

Thanks guys, but if I had a LFS, I wouldn't be in this pickle. My closest is 2 hours away one way - but the only ones that ever want any (and we're talking about 12 or so every 2-3 months) is 2.5 hours away. We're rural here, Walmart's are kinda different out here in the sticks (and wm is 45 minutes away as it is). My "local club" is also 2.5 hours away and there's too many in the club that already have them. See why I need to move them online? I am going to try craiglist though, but there again - 2-2.5 hours away for the list location! I love living out here, but when it comes to selling my fish, it does have it's disadvantages - that's why I had to get so good at LIVE arrivals with slow shipments!

Perhaps you could try offering them with the large flat rate shipping box. That would cut the shipping cost in half. Just a suggestion as I know a lot of people hate paying so much for shipping costs. Good luck with getting rid of your fish!

 

[saganco]

No can do on the large flat rate unfortunately. I ALWAYS ship each fish in their own bag - that's why I have such an incredible success rate. ONE time I ran out of the right size bag and put two fish per bag. One in each bag made it. Too small a space for two large stressed out fish. Sorry. STILL WAYYYYY cheaper than driving somewhere else to get them (if you have to do more than cross town anyway). I can only ship TWO in a large flat rate (you have to figure in the insulation as well you know).
