Thank you for your analysis gobby!!
However Joe your figures dont quite add up, but then i did not expect they would do when you are involved, let me enlighten you -
Cost of Bird = £155
AM Deliveries = £27.50
Total £182.50
Leaving me a proft margin of £17.50 lol worth the hassle im sure
On another point Joey the bird will be paired to a daughter of a full sister to a bird called Molnar although i dont suppose that would mean anything to someone like yourself only being interested in pretty show racer crosses.
I hope this makes you feel better knowing that the bird wont be for sale on here, Elimar, Pigeon sales or anywhere else for that matter however watch out for the special crossings with the De Dobbelaers starting at £1000 each. :D
Now onto the other reason for my posting -
Yet again we have had another thread hijacked where it seems that the seller has had to put up with more than should be expected when selling a bird - It dont matter to us who bought him whether the vendor paid £0.00 or £1000 and we are happy to have got the pigeon at a much lower price than we expected to pay.
I feel firstly on this for Number 1 who got p**sed off with the hassle from members of this forum and also from CHUCKA who gave the bird up for the same reason.
For this reason CHUCKA is welcome to a young bird from the bird for free next season if he wishes - I will even pay the carriage myself or deliver in person.
I am aware Richard is putting procedures in place to stop all the stupid hassle people are receiving and i dont think this can come soon enough.
Its a shame the biggest forum in the UK has to be brought down by such pettiness and pathetic behaviour from its members both on the main forum and the sales section as such behaviour can only lose good members
Well done CHUCKA on allowing the sale to continue despite everything - All the best
