Benfica;2627617; said:Thanks, that some good information. I got a website on my area that sells baby bearded dragons for 25.00dollars each so i am pretty sure that is cheap compared to 60.00. Ya heard same thign about saltwater fish/corals being a big moneymaker. I could possbly have rats ,or feeders for reptiles like beardies,snakes etc. So i coudl carry those just not raabits to much trouble. Ya could have a section for other animl things that works prety good. Pretty easy to find some local breeders. Thanks for posting!! means alot.
Anyone else got anythign else to post. Have to go now hopefully get some more people to post. Thanks again to everyone.
I hope you still plan on selling beardies at $60(ish) regardless of whether theres an online site thats selling them or not. The reason I say that is that as mentioned, they are great sellers, and you'd be surprised at how many people just don't shop online...so bottom line is even if there is a site selling beardies fr $25, theres enough people in your area you could easily sell em for $60 in your shop.
Also, I agree with what ws said about lowering prices brings in more sales and such, but there is a point were the added sales arn't worthe the lower prices in product, and with a business such as a pet store, that point comes alot sooner then said a grocery store (volume of sales and such) So i'd stick to keeping your prices comparible to the toher shops int he area, possibly a little bit lower (mabye even higher depending on the circumstances...such as location, if your the only one that carries a specific product, etc)

Sorry when i said there was a website selling for 25.00 i ment its where people sell thing like ebay.But it is local. And someobreeders sell them for 25.00 i just buy then put in store. Only sometimes are people selling so thats a good addition.
Thanks for information. I just drew a sketch of what i want store to look like: where tanks are located,shelves,etc
