FS: High End Clowns
 
Hey Everyone,

going to relist my clowns. Be one of the few in Alberta let alone Canada to won one of these. You can even buy a C-Quest Wyoming White anymore, closest your going to get is the blood lines, if you can even get one before the sell.

I looked into picking up a pair recently and they were $1200 for the pair by the time they got to my house for juveniles.

I want to see this pair go to a good home that will enjoy and appreciate them for a long time.

Female is a Australian Black Clown I purchased from Red Coral 2-3 years ago. The Male is a Wyoming White I purchased from Red Coral Lethbridge when they did the big C-Quest order 2 or 3 years ago.

$500 obo for the pair.

I can deliver to Medicine Hat, Calgary, Edmonton or anywhere in between on HWY2 or HWY3.

I am happy to take additional pictures and video for anyone seriously interested in these fish.

Economically I meant LOL
Are you interested in shipping Ryan ?

flazky 03-09-2013 04:45 PM

Sent you a pm. Serious offer. I can overnight it.

Ryan 03-09-2013 05:04 PM

I dont really want to ship but if someone really wanted them and they were going to a god home I would consider it.

FedEx has a no live animal shipping policy. If your wanting to ship I know of a company that has a contract with FedEx that allows them to ship love animals and have used them a number of times in the past.

Cooper is right though it will probably be $120 to ship them and with the temperatures up north we wouldnt be able to do it until spring or summer. I wouldnt want to risk the clowns freezing.

flazky 03-09-2013 05:09 PM

Ive shipped livestock from vancouver before, as long as you out a heatpack in there, it is okay.

Ryan 03-09-2013 05:14 PM

Heat packs or no heat packs mistakes happen and packages get lost. If its too cold these fish WILL NOT be shipped.

Id much rather seem them swimming in my tank than risking clownfish ice cubes shipping them across the country.

ensquire 03-09-2013 06:26 PM

Yeah I understand your concerns .
I will be in Edmonton during the last weekend of March though .......

Hi Mike,

If you are interested in these fish I can get them to edmonton at the end of march but it will be $75 to get them up there. I can be up there the 30th or the 31st.

It will be a much smaller risk me driving them than shipping them and it is $90 to ship to edmonton. I just received a live package from there and it was $90 to ship.

I want to make sure these fish are going into a good home. They are a are fish (you cant even buy these from C-Quest anymore) and his quality is amazing. The WW being produced now are deformed and have poor pattern. I did some snooping around on Reef Central and seen some of the group buys.... gross, I wouldnt pay Platinum prices for some of those WW.

Sorry for taking so long to respond to your post.

If you like you can text me 1(403)892-7652

C-Quest is no longer in business. Wyoming Whites are now available through Sustainable Aquatics, so they aren't as hard to come by as they were a year ago.

Your last sale thread had the fish on for $300 for the pair, and when I had worked out someone to pick them up for me (when you said you would not ship them) you backed out of the deal. Are you actually going to sell them this time? :lol:

My offer to buy at the original $300 still stands. ;) I can meet you halfway from Saskatoon if you still don't want to ship.

Ryan 03-26-2013 05:45 PM

Really Myka. Last we talked about these fish I told you no shipping yet you wanted me to bring these fish to calgary for somone. Then when I found somone who was willing to ship you were no longer interested.

Im not taking a day off work for free. Ive done it in the past only to have it thrown in my face. You want the fish your paying for me to miss a work day so I can ship these fish for you.

$400 plus shipping.

Have you seen those WW being bred today? I have and they are nowhere near the quality this one is. You want the fish justso you can say you have a WW go there but you will still be paying more than what mine is and it wont be nearly as nice. You want excellent ualitt breeding stock this is your fish but you have to pay for quality. Not all fish are born equal.

Hi Mindy,

I have decided to keep this pair shortly after talking with you.

Yes, Sustainable Aquatics brought a few to MACNA last year. Juvenile Wyoming White don't look as nice as adults, same with Platinums and the white Maroons. That's normal. SA WWs are just as nice, give them time to grow up. :)

The only reason I threw that offer out there is because I thought it sounded like you were thinking of driving them up to Edmonton for $75. Maybe you have another reason to go up there. Halfway to Saskatoon is a lot shorter distance than all the way to Edmonton.

Nah, if he's backing out of deals people should be aware. :wink:

The worst part is, that was the 2nd time I tried to buy the fish from him. :lol:

Ryan 03-26-2013 06:44 PM

Backing out of deals? Deals were never made, like I told you I had no plans on shipping you the fish or meeting you or anyone. Hence the cheaper price, PU only. When was this second deal? Like O saod I found somone who was willing to ship to you and you no longer wanted them?

Now if I have to ship I have to take a day off work and will be compensated for it. Im not doing favours anymore. Too many times has it been thrown back in my face. Im not a store I work a 8-5 day job and if I miss a day that means I miss out on money.

Those fish will never grow out of the orange body spots or under bites. Quality costs money.

Myka 03-26-2013 06:53 PM

Good luck with your sale Ryan. :)
