I get those kind of calls all the time. I just love it when the caller doesn't say anything more than "how much are they?" I tell them and they're absolutely STUNNED!! They say, "HOW MUCH?" Or "Oh my!" And hang up. Then there's the ones that say, "I'm on a fixed income and can only afford $100.00 or $200.00, so if you don't sell them all, can you call me back and I'll pay you then?"
My ad's usually say something like: "AKC Yorkshire puppies. 3M, 1F. blk/tan. Tails docked and dew claws removed. Call _ _ _ _ _." People call and say, "Do you have any males? What color are they? Are they registered? What's a dew claw?" I have caller ID and when they start calling, I usually let my machine pick it up and call them back. You can usually tell by the message they leave whether they're serious or just looking. I really like the people that say "Well, I can buy one at so-in-so pet shop for $XXXX!! I tell them if that's what they want to do, I wouldn't recommend it, but go ahead! It gets nerve racking at times.
