So, this is something I've been pondering for awhile now, and was wondering how others in the hobby personally feel about this sort of thing, so I thought I'd throw it out...

2 weeks back I found myself out of work, I'm a college student who worked part time to pay for school, and gas, and food for my beasties, other than that I didn't have much money. I found myself needing money and turned to the one thing I know better than anything, herps. I know a lot of people breed for extra money, but that's a long term plan, and I needed cash asap to pay the bills.. So I found myself cruising craigslist browsing listings and found myself a group of snakes, and enclosures for cheap, I ended up taking the snakes, (some dehydrated) and fixing them up a bit and relisting them on craigslist at a higher price, I made plenty of sales and I'm actually making enough to fund myself right now.

Now then, how does the herp community view this? I don't sell higher than petstores, I offer full information, and the ability to contact me with questions/concerns after purchase. I also only make sure to sell animals that are 100% healthy and ready for new homes, I don't just dump them.. For example I have a pair of bearded dragons I got for free, however, they where sick, dehydrated, starved, the one had a bad tail, and I'm fixing them up and will later offer them at a higher price with the right information to a proper owner.

I always wonder if the herp community frowns on it, but all my customers seem very happy, and I'm doing what I enjoy... Thoughts guys?
