this might have you some fo you confused. the key is to start bragging the dog up about how good it is coming along in training. with each post sell us on how greatly it is progressing and how special the pup is.
3. next have some buddies come on and brag the dog up. have them post how yourpup put it on the old grand nite last night and even split treed with the meat while the other dogs were treed slick. have them make up a couple of screen names and you do the same so the hype just gets bigger and bigger.
4.pictures. you must have some pictures. doesnt matter where you take them, just as long as it is at night and the dog is barking up a tree. heck, do with a caged coon in the front yard if need be.
5. next, state the dog is not for sale
6. now state after recieving numerous inquries about buying this dog through the pm system, you have decided that the dog isnt for sale but can be bought.
7. slap an outragous overpriced tag on the dog and wait for the offers to roll in.
just a little light hearted fun
Light hearted fun but true to a degree. I was once trying to sell a fairly decent bred pup and a high profile breeder called me and said the reason you're not selling it is because you're asking way too little for it and it's scaring people away. They think its worthless. Jack the price up a few hundred dollars and it will go in no time. Of course i didn't take his advice and eventually sold the dog as lightly started and she ended up turning into a pretty decent dog. Sad but true.
