It would worry me if someone's first concern was money. I would think, it would be a concern for the breeder. For example, I had someone contact me about a bunny and she talked only about money. I had to ask her to go elsewhere, as nice as I could. I had someone else contact me that was pregnant, many many animals, small children and I just thought at the time it wasn't the best decision for her so I asked her to wait and contact me at another time. On the other hand, I had many other people contact me that I had cut the price in half and in many cases given the bunny away because I thought it was a good fit or just a good situation. I understand this is not a $1000 rabbit but it's still the same thought process. You want the animal to go to a good home. If someone asks upfront the price it would concern me. Not always, other factors would weigh in but it would be something to take into consideration.
