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? ^^

He was a little embarrassed. I can't remember why I sold it to him
actually
- they go for £400 to £500 in local ads.


£500=$731.42. Baby Grays go for $1500.00 [£1025.35] in the pet stores
here.


Greys in stores here are from £750-£1000.


You have to really want a Grey at that price. If the bird gets sick and
dies, it's on you, not the pet store. :/
