RE: Cat Flipping
I've been following this thread and wanted to add a few things, but have been too tired and scared I may offend anyone.
Some of the hardest things we can do in life, is accept others for the way they are, and take responsibility for our own actions. I wish I had accepted these things earlier in life. If I had, it would have saved me from getting 3 divorces, and years of misery. I however thought that I could change their evil ways and make them treat me like the goddess that I am. haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
If you price a kitty low and someone buys it and tries to sell it higher, then it was your fault to start with. Even if you had good intentions, or made a mistake. It was still your doing. If someone buys it, you can't expect them to say, ooops here take it back.
I have on occasion, when I used to troll the markets, contacted a seller to let them know a kitty is priced low in case it was a mistake. But you can't expect that from everyone. Another point is, that person, may think you wanted to sell it that low just for some kibble money. Some ppl I had contacted told me it wasn't a mistake and told me I could buy it if I really wanted it.
Another thing I would like to point out, is that not all ppl that buy a couple kitties then sell their boxes have evil intentions.
I had bought kitties and smooshed them together to get breeding pairs for later. I put the ones out for sale that were the wrong sex for what I wanted. Example, I got three boys before I got the girl mate, so the two extra boys may have ended up on a shelf for sale. It was not my intention to do evil to the original breeder. I just didn't need the two boys.
Another example. My project kitty that I have so proudly displayed in showroom. I only put a few of the not needed os out for sale. (after the prices dropped way down, cause I didn't want to undermine sales from my friend who gave me the traits) The original os from my project kitty show other breeders names. I have a lot of boxes from this project I never put out for sale because one, I didn't want to undermine sales from my friend and two I am lazy. lol But the earlier ones have other breeders names on them. So you can look at those pedigrees and say...That evil woman is trying to sell someone elses hard work! Instead of realizing that the evil woman just had a lot of boxes she didn't need to breed and wanted to either share or make a little bit of kibble money.
I do want to say that I have one line in there that was originally mine, which explains the gerbera blue. rofl Every time that eye pops out I chuckle and think, "Oooh my trademark" lol I do love the eye though. lol
There was a time when I too thought resellers or flippers were evil. But I would like to point out three things. If you see someone doing it and don't like it, don't buy from them. (you can do like I used to do) Check the pedigree names and go directly to the original breeder. (I did this so I could spend less for the same kitties hehehehe but I did use them in my breeding plans)
My second point that I would like to make, is this. Resellers make up a lot of our market. If they didn't buy those kitties in the first place, those boxes would just be sitting on your shelves collecting dust. (like they are probably doing on the flippers shelves)
And my third point is, not all ppl that sell those smooshed kitties have evil intentions. They may just be boxes from a project they didn't need. Face it, if you want different traits to breed, you probably need other ppls kitties to do it. So yes, other names are going to be in those pedigrees, even as close as having bred the parents of the kitty that is for sale.
