How much should I sell my adult Tarantulas for?

[Meg]

Hello all. I am new here but thought this would be a better place to eventually sell my collection of arachnids than craigslist. I have been a long time collecter but at this time in my life I am going through a lot of transitions into school and work and no longer feel like I can take proper care of them. I want them to have the best homes possible with loving owners, but I don't even know where to begin when it comes to an asking price.

I have a female Chaco Golden Knee (about 4-5 inches)
and a beautiful 6 year old female Brazilian White Knee (upwards of 8 inches) she doesn't even fit in both my hand anymore! She's massive and just molted last week.
as well as 3 Emperor Scorpions (ready for breeding) and a Giant Desert Hairy (female) that all need good homes.
Thanks in advance

For Emperor scorpions you mean real P.imperator? No, I'm asking because happened a bit of confusion about in those recent years.

I can only offer what I would personally sell them for, and even then, only the ts as I don't buy and sell scorps much, if at all.

The gold knee would generally be a $100-120 tops t and the genic would be $100-150...JMO though.

Keep in mind that when you do sell them, you must post the ad in the classifieds section as this is the only place sales are permitted. You will also need to set up a review page as its a requirement for selling in the classifieds.

To use the classifieds you either need to become an arachnosupporter for a nominal fee, or become an active user, which merely amounts to 15 serious posts (chat doesn't count though) in a 45 day period....which isn't too difficult if you have any interest in online discussions.

Yes

Well, then it's good news for you. While I'm not familiar with U.S prices, real P.imperator are nicely priced nowaday.

The Desert Hairy is probably only worth about $15. They don't usually sell for much. The P. imperators are worth significantly more, like 60 bucks or so.

I'd say about $1.00 per specimen and shipping should be free for the buyer...

now that we got that settled just contact me because I'd like to buy them off of you!
