Anyone who says they don't have time to take care of one tarantula always crack me up, but I guess I have never had a baby so maybe this sale is actually reasonable. :angelic:

That's actually the only situation I'd take not having time for a T seriously. Most new parents can't seem to look after their babys and themselves at the same time, let alone a host of other critters.

Here's my history:
Avicularia avicularia cf. morphotype 6, 3" $20 (iirc)
Chromatopelma cyanopubescens 2" Free
Lasiodora parahybana 1/2" Free
Avicularia sp. Peru purple 1/2" Free (sadly passed away)
Caribbean versicolor 2.5" Free (matured as a male)

Gotta say I love those types of websites! :D

I just got this huge 20 gallon acrylic cage for $15 from Craiglist, not so bad at all!

Ignore what I said on my previous post on this thread, as the Anderson, IN craigslist doesn't deserve recognition. A majority of posts there make you wish you could get your lost brain cells back. That is why I have yet to make any craigslist purchase.

My local Craigslist has been pretty good to us lately!

One fella was selling off his entire collection due to moving out of state... we picked up the following for 180$ -
2x N. incei unsexed juvies (one in a nice acrylic enclosure, one in a nicely set up 16oz deli)
AF C. marshalli (in a nice large KK set up)
2x P. metallica slings (each in a nicely set up 16oz deli)
2x 1.0 A. metallica (one mature who is now out on a breeding loan and one immature, in decent plastic bins)
MM H. mac (who I have since traded for pokie slings) in an 8x8x12 ExoTerra
1x P. lugardi sling (in a nicely set up 16oz deli)
1x H. mac sling (in a nicely set up 16oz deli)

We got a 3.5" B. smithi juvie (appears male) for 35$ (no enclosure).

And yesterday we picked up a 2" unsexed C. versi for 40$.

Is there a "jealous" rating? We need a jealous rating.

Juvie porteri for $15. Came in a small critter keeper without a bowl and filled with dead food parts and old molts. Drove 1.5 hours for it (looks male).
I'm pretty sure I actually saw the ad for this one! Poor thing, glad you saved her.

Saw this one near me on Craigslist. Would love to jump on a few, but just don't have the money... they look wonderful though!

I have a large collection of exotic Tarantulas that I need to sell. Some unexpected financial hardships have come up and I reluctantly need the money. Below is a list of what I have and prices.

P. Metallica Female 6-7 inches
12x12x18 Exoterra set up
$600
P. Rufilata Female 4 inches
8x8x8 exoterra setup
$250
P. Miranda unsexed 3 inches
6x6x6 Zoo Med setup
$150
P. Vittata female 4 inches
8x8x12 Exoterra setup
$275
P. Regalis sling. 1/2 inch
2x2x6 araboreal setup.
$60
OBT Female 4 inches
In a beta tank altered into setup
$50
Asian forest scorpion 1 1/2 inches
$50

Like I said I don't want to sell but I have to. Will take $1200 for all of it.

Here's the link to check out the pictures: https://cosprings.craigslist.org/for/d/tarantulas-need-sold-quick/6661643696.html

@Raiju those prices are really high. For example I got an unsexed 3.5 inch P. miranda for 85. I wouldn't consider their prices unless you could haggle them down a lot.
