A girl contacted me about purchasing one of my chins that I was selling. I had reduced his price to $100. I told her that I had another female for sale as well and she offered me $80 each for both, plus could I deliver and she would pay a small portion of the gas. She said that she is a poor student with not much money. I agreed to that as I wanted to sell them to make room for other ones. I also agreed to the delivery terms because I was planning on going on a roadtrip to where she lives with my kids anyway. Since then though it has come to my attention that she is buying other chinchillas from other breeders, plus new cages as well. She has about 6 or more chins now and looking to buy more.
In the mean time my elderly father who lives on the other side of the continent needs to go into hospice care. So a trip across the country could happen at anytime.
I spoke with the breeder that I got some of mine from and she suggested that I ask the buyer for a deposit.
I contacted the buyer and she is unwilling to pay a deposit since I am not "a breeder", but is willing to drive down and get them.
I feel bad changing the terms but......
