Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Tam I have a sense of humour more than most but you only end up destorting the information thats being presented!!!! And as rose has pointed out this always ends up with a negative comment or too!! about price, performance etc. I suggest you spend more time with your birds Tam!!!! Stuart and so should you, and think the word you were meaning was distorting
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 does it mean if you put money into basics then it entitles you to do and say what you want well would like to think that was not the case sammy
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Value is like beauty its in the eye of the beholder ;D ;D ;D ;D
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Value is like beauty its in the eye of the beholder ;D ;D ;D ;D EYE ;D ;D ;D
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Value is like beauty its in the eye of the beholder ;D ;D ;D ;D Something close to my own view, Sammy, tho was thinking more on buying & selling houses where you put your own value on the property - what owning that house means to you. A pigeon's value I think is what you believe the bird will do in lifting your loft performance, racing and / or breeding.

Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 how many have you bought to realise that it dont work that way personally spent loads with great intentions only to be let down drastically ;D ;D ;D Prophetic words. ;D Number of mine going about with a capital X on their head just now, don't think they'll be breeders much longer. >
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 how many have you bought to realise that it dont work that way personally spent loads with great intentions only to be let down drastically ;D ;D ;D AND THATS WHY U HAVE TO BE WARY OF WHAT U BUY IN SAMMY
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 AND THATS WHY U HAVE TO BE WARY OF WHAT U BUY IN SAMMY especially at the big prices they are asking for ,takes me nearly a full week to earn that kind of money and they say working mens prices ,doubt am in the wrong job ;D ;D ;D
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 especially at the big prices they are asking for ,takes me nearly a full week to earn that kind of money and they say working mens prices ,doubt am in the wrong job ;D ;D ;D some of the best breeding birds i have were given to me by the late hughie brown, who i am sure most folk up here know, and they will also know his performances , a blue pied cock he gave me has produced the birds that have won our longest inland race from maidstone for me on three ocasions
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 big prices dont make them better pigeons best breeding pigeons i have ever had know what i bred myself from years of experience of blending them together racing their progeny and finding out what wins thats how its done yi cant buy it ,out of the hundreds of pigeons yi buy how many ,be truthful how many have bred you winners straight away and i bet it aint many :)

Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 you say u bred them urself , but you had to get birds from somewhere to start sure did but not the big high fallootin prices that they are asking for on here and they were just as good if not better ,28thwest ses rennes ,31st west sec rennes ,40th open lille 50thopen salisbury 30th open salisbury , 98thopen salisbury,41st west sec frome could go on and on all bred by myself ,and dont tell me you have not got the same
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 sure did but not the big high fallootin prices that they are asking for on here and they were just as good if not better ,28thwest ses rennes ,31st west sec rennes ,40th open lille 50thopen salisbury 30th open salisbury , 98thopen salisbury,41st west sec frome could go on and on all bred by myself ,and dont tell me you have not got the same did say i had a few bird off hughie brown and his record flying in the snfc was as good as any, and yes i have bred and have been given some first class birds, and have also given quite a few away this year that were bred off them, but where did u get the birds to start with?
Guest Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 bought them and was gifted some but it took me years of trying breeding etc
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 bought them and was gifted some but it took me years of trying breeding etc aye when u say u bought them, how much did u pay for them to begin with
Guest TAMMY_1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 15/25 /30 quid not much more aye and look at the breeding you now have for a little outlay
mark Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 what do you call working mens prices.? i think the more you pay for a bird bigger the disapointment if they dont breed upto expectations. i would sooner swop a few with members on here. it does not matter if pay £10 to £100 it does not guarantee you nothing. schyphos sent my daughter 2 birds down superb ybs for which she was most grateful.
tillo Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 All i can say guys stu is a top bloke and sells top birds ive had a few from him and worth every penny but im in a position to spend lots of pennies thats the differance save your pennies and invest its the only way
swilcox Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 At the end of the day its not about buying its about selection and many people have allowed to select pigeons for them which won and or will win in the future. You may all think its about the money and whilst its a positive i enjoy supply top quality pigeons and acourse diverting 1 or 2 into my own loft. Its good to take pride in everything you do and i take pride in selecting pigeons As for price well i sold pigeons on this site from 25 pound upwards and i always believe i price very farely!!! But as for the last lot that was sold and remember they were sold so the price couldnt have been far out. As for purchasing pigeons well i have spent 1000,s of pounds but with a little homework and good selection most have repayed there investments!!!! Stuart
phillips Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 my thought on this topic is simple if you can buy a bike with 6 gears for £10 or you can buy a bike with 12 gears for £50 you would buy the one with 12 gears as it sounds a better bike pigeons are the same if you ever sell a pigeon you no in your heart what its worth if it doesnt produce you kill if it doesnt earn its perch you dont house it ,its there for 1 reason and 1 reason only its a athelete if you race pigeons you buy pigeons not ducks you always buy to strengthen your team and your team will never get any better without new blood thats why we all buy and sell i didnt get to the top buy flying free birds i purchased birds from £40 /£250 and i now believe im getting there im now looking for knew blood in staff-van reets and hopefully now im on this site some might come my way for the right price ?who nows
