How much would you ask for two chinchillas?

Question

And cage, food, running balls, and many more accessories? I was asking $180, but everyone is telling me they can't afford that. I need to sell my chins quick, unfortunately, because I have developed a serious allergy to them.

How much would you ask for?

Answer 1

Well, it depends on the colors and how big the cages is, quality of the food, etc etc.

If they are standard grey Chins and a large, I would ask maybe $170. If they are any other color, then I would ask about $200.

If people can't afford it, that's their problem, not yours. Something will come up. Chinchillas alone cost at least $100 a piece and the cage and accessories were probably another $200 so that is a good deal. People expect to get pets for cheap..just because not everything is brand new.

Also, how old are they? If they are older then I would lower the price but if they are babies (under a year) then raise it.

$180 is NOT too much to be asking for a pair of chinchillas and all accessories. We paid spent around $600 when we first got our Chins.

If you are really that desperate to get rid of them, lower the price a little each day ( don't go below $100) and something will turn up.

Have you posted them on http://www.craigslist.com or http://www.kijiji.com?

Good luck.

Answer 2

It would depend on how big the cage is. Caring for Chinchillas can be expensive so I would not ask alot. Maybe ask 100.00 but make sure they know what is involved with the care of a chinchilla
