selling dogs after only a few posts...please read - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thorsmomma · 10-02-2005, 06:32 PM

I guess this is a question more for administration. If I remember correctly, there was a discussion about how many posts you had to have before you could start advertising, or selling your products, or dogs. It seems that there is a couple of posts here from 'newbies' (people with 6 posts) that are trynig to get rid of their dogs on here. I don't want to sound crabby, but it just seems that in this particular instance, that dogs being sold for $5000 (in my unprofesional opinion) is way too much and the size that is being advertised seems dangerous and unhealthy. Once again, I am not trying to cause an uproar of drama but just curious as to what the rules were for selling things on this site if you are not a contributing, legitimate member that means well.
Thanks,
Hannah

That is a good question,
I have to wonder, who would want to get rid of their babies????
I guess I missed the post's, because I didn't see any selling babies.
I thought this was a questions and answers site, not a selling site,
It sure is a fun site I know that!

But it is a good question!

WELCOME Maxwell&Me! I know you will love it here!

That is true. I'm new on here and that is the only reason when I hold my tongue on here. I hate it when I see people who breed their 2-3.5 pound females. I'm tempted to say something, but I've never breed, but I know this can't be healthy. Poor dogs.

you have a fair point. I think that "getting rid of their dogs" is not worded in the best way, but on a more serious note. Do you know anyone on this forum in their right mind who would buy a yorkie for 5000?.......lol i coudl barely see spending 500... When i see people that have posted in the selling section (and that is their first post) i more or less just shrug it off, the only reason i like to go into that section is to see cute puppies that i can dream of owning but 5000 i think is a little more than people here are willing to spend.... i remember the discussion you were referring to, and i thought somewhere that 50 posts seemed about right to be able to sell stuff, but i think that was for another site. but it does seem like a good idea though, get to know people before buying their "products" is always a good idea

mustangbee · 10-02-2005, 07:15 PM

Now I see! I didn't know there was a selling post!
I always go to this one!
I guess I'm still new!!!

But you are right!
It's still a good question!

Maxwell&me · 10-02-2005, 07:50 PM

In all serouisness....what justifys a 5000.00 or 8500.00 price tag? Listen Im all for reputible breeders, I understand cost of testing ect~ but what would make a pup worth that much even with testing, and great blood lines?
