Prices for birds

[Guest youngzimmy]

  why does everyome want  so much for pigeons it is hardly a good advert for any one wanting to come into the sport i phoned a person in holland he wanted £2000.00 for i bird in the sixtys fanciers would fill a basket for you for nothing yo much money involved in buying birds it is out of control in my mind

[black badge]

Its all about money zimmy, if you are mug enough to pay it they will take it off you .

People should make a stand and refuse to pay the prices and they will soon drop the price, as for pedigrees you can only make paper planes with them, when was the last time a pedigree won a race.

spot on buddy spot on the best pigeons you get you get free no predudice conected to the free deal

[Guest asha]

I think your spot on,eveyone should help each other not screw each other over,that`s what ruined the sport in england,many now  try to make money out the sport,instead of friendship,even on here now,it`s turning into a  "How much can i make" :B :B :B

Totally agree with you on that one, but can't see how your point has anything to do with my thread?????

 

Perhaps there's a new thread in the making with your very valid point.

Hey Griz,who  are you to say this topic should be about price of birds in general,this topicshould be allowed to developeas posters see fit,notputing them in little boxes,like certain minds on here.

 

If you read youngzimmy's original post, I believe it is generally about the price of birds, so that can be the title and the 'prices of birds' is a very general title, so not putting people into boxes

[Guest asha]

Well you put that little kitten in a box,that`s not fair,and it`s been in there for ages now,so can`t you let it go.

Very true Chris, Money is the root of all evil

Pigeons are not like used cars,they are all individuals and don't have a book value so just like with horses anyone is entitled to ask whatever they want.Beauty is also in the eye of the beholder,what may be worth nothing to one person may be worth a fortune to another?.The " must have strain of the day" also drives prices up,demand exceeding supply for certain strains?,desperation to win exceeding brain capacity? ,who knows?

Only one thing is certain and that is no matter how much you pay they are all as capable as one another of falling off the perch or failing to  live up to your expectations! so that is why I would personally never pay a great deal for any bird or expect people to pay a fortune for my birds.

[ChrisMaidment08]

no and it shows in youer offer on site  but some want stupid price for rubbish they wont admit it or get no money me as stated maney times if bird is no good to you its no good to me unless i see something i can use it for ie spare cock hen showing or of use to someone else   noone gets rid of winners or breeders as thats what we are all looking for

quite agree...but some fanciers will still 'fill baskets'...some of my clubmates did for me when they'd only just met me.

As I have said on here before, IF people are prepared to pay these high prices, then you can't blame the seller. If the price wasn't paid then you can guarantee one of three things. A) The price comes down, the bird stays where it is, or C) it ends up as rose manure, cos not many good birds are sold unless it's an entire clearance sale

i agree to an extent chris with your post but there are circumstances where you cant keep everything and something has to go,..some do sell good birds otherwise there would be no point buying any ever. only my opinion.m8

I agree but I think the topic is Not about selling birds it's about selling birds at rediculously high prices. Selling a few birds at a reasonable price to help with the corn bill is OK

sorry misread it .

 

 

[Guest asha]

Hy strapper ,the reason most birds are sold on here,is because that was why they were bred,like it or not,

just as well i dont sell birds that were bred just to sell then or id be tarred with that name.

 

[ChrisMaidment08]

strapper   no one gets rid of winners unless you pay heavy  an instance i bred for fancier hen to win fed an open and 4 nat plus club wins he had black cock won nat he gave me that bird cos it was only thing it ever did never won card in club its in ground  now how much would you give me for nat winnner which was 10 minuites in front of next bird from 450 miles   truthfully

I think the majority know the reason why these last 'lots' of birds were for sale Paul. Certainly NOT bred to sell m8, I know that
