In the UK they're on Gumtree sold privately. Pet shops have a big
markup.


Same here in the Colonies. Pet shops mark up at least 100%.


I sold a baby Amazon for £300 to a petshop. He sold it for £600 1 week later
(although that did include a £50 cage).
When I went in for seed a week afterwards, I noticed the bird wasn't there,
so I said "Sold it already?"
He said "Yes" very quietly.
Me: "How much?"
Him: [mumble]
Me: "Hmmmm?
Him: "six..." (very quietly)


No grin? ^^
