go more in depth, are you saying if i bought a rugosus for 40$ i could get xyloni for 10 ?


20 *

If you look at my actual listings, it should be quite clear, in addition to the fact that I pretty much spelled it out ("that would be a 50% price break for any additional P. rugosus, or Camponotus sp.2.") the price break (if there is one) is written in parenthesis directly after the price on each specific item.

Okay, after thinking about Alza's question, I changed it again. I'll sell some of these now for half price as long as you buy at least one of something else. :P

Here's the deal. If I already have to meet up with someone to deliver their ants (any colony/species)  that they bought at regular price, I'm willing (for right now) to sell them any of those 50%-off colonies for half price, how ever many they want.

They "seem" to be a few different species, but without properly keying them out on a microscope there is noway to know for sure. Even doing so, still did not bring me to a conclusion, or any of the experts that looked at my microscope pictures of the specific features needed to get an ID. Also, it actually is 100% a species.

You can't ID a species just like that Alza, you have to be sure. I use, and I am pretty sure Drew also uses a microscope.

It is true, its annoying when he thinks it is a species based on a youtube video, but I will not explain the whole thing because that feeds the troll.

My prices are dirt cheap because I lowered the price to make them move before they become more work.  (Really, who needs 80 colonies of Camponotus herculeanus?)

Most of the species I sell are the most common species in my location and are also the easiest ants to care for.

 

Drew's prices are better than most ant stores. If I were in California, I would be tempted to stop by and see his collection.

 

My prices are so low because I am in an area with very little interest in proper ant care.  I am also 2 hours from the nearest town with more than 2 traffic lights, so my prices have to very low just to get people to contact me and be willing to wait until I can get into the city.

My prices do not cover the costs of raising the colonies, I just want most of my surplus ones gone so I can enjoy my personal colonies more.

After having to delete another whole page of BS resulting from this, I left your post here so others hopefully (even though it apparently isn't working so far) will realize that this thread isn't the place to complain about my prices. I have already given you that thread too. In addition to everything Crystal said, she is not part of the GAN Project, and therefor does not give a percentage of the money to Mikey Bustos like I do.
