I've had a few inquiries, even though I am not thinking about it at this time. If I start thinking about it I will reach out to you, but I would owe the other person a chance first.

  They may or may not. I am simply listing all ants, including those that I am keeping. Some other collector might want to reach out and compare notes or offer suggestions. Plus, I reserve the right to change my mind on what I will keep and what I won't. Since it has caused some confusion, possibly marking them as part of my personal collection may help. After all, sometimes they are not for sale because they are not ready.

Too bad those honeypots ain’t for sale..

Question though, why did you put your own colonies there but they are not for sale..

Are they there just to flex, or can you negotiate prices?

Hopefully I am not charging to much.

I put my colonies there so fellow members would have some insight to my interested, and possibly point out some common interests.

I also am hoping to give my buyers an idea of what I keep, and give them some comfort in my knowledge. I am by far not the most knowledgeable person in here, but I am most definitely not the least either.

Last and certainly not least, it helps me keep track while I list them. I wouldn't want to sell one of my own in error.......sucks getting old  LOL
