1. First off, we think it's a good policy to not be desperate to sell an animal. If we are trying to sell a rabbit, we are still very content to hold onto it until we find a suitable home. Often times, desperate people pressure buyers into into taking the rabbit, which can result scaring the customer off.
2. (the following is for show or brood animals only) Our best success with selling is at shows. This is the time we see our fellow breeders who may be looking for new stock. We always take healthy sale rabbits to shows.
3. Once we've settle at the show, We place 'For Sale' signs on the coops and then we move on to our next show chore. There is no need to advertise. Those who are looking to buy will find you.
4. Don't be afraid to go into the faults on the sale animal. Every rabbit has a fault. Share with the prospective owner what judge's have said about the rabbit. If you tell it like it is, then the customer will not be disappointed in the future. This will give you a nice reputation.
5. Price according to the current trend. Is your breed selling? How much should you sell a granded rabbit for? Keep in mind what other breeders are selling for and stick close to that. Never terribly overprice or underprice an animal. If overpriced, it will never sell. If underpriced, you likely won't find a suitable breeder who wants it and you will loose the difference that you could have sold the rabbit for.
