prices on Websites?

[luvdorkyyorkies]

I post prices if I have a puppy who doesnt have a home yet, but many times my puppies are reserved and arent available. The buyer and I have spoke they know the price and so then theres no need to put a price there.
But I do list prices if a baby is available, I like knowing a price when I look at websites so I figure others might too.

this is kind of what i think too. that the prices are out of reach and perhaps they are embarrassed to post them. I know when if I ever have pups, they won't be cheap. I will be fair but I will not let them go for what the sub standard yorkies in my area go for. people here practically give them away and that is sad because most people around here don't even know what to look for when purchasing a yorkie so all they know is they got a tiny dog for X amount of dollars. I have even seen some in the paper ready to go at six weeks. i was much the same way until I joined YT and learned some invaluable things. When people were calling me about Silk, they always asked, will you have pups. I always told them, I might but i was planning on posting mine online and they probably won't be as cheap as the ones around here. i plan of having a quality pup for sale that is as close to the standard as I can get it. that's why I have been so careful getting my foundation stock.

I'm expecting my first two litters in march and am planning on having a web site. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about listing prices. However, I do like sites that list them or that have a range and i feel that it will help cut down on some unnessicary calling. For instance if you put that puppies start at $1,000, the people wanting a $200 dog won't waste your time and theirs calling you. Also you won't have those people calling and then saying "well that's too much for a dog". Also I dread calling people with out their prices listed, I alway see a supper cute pup that i really want and most of the time don't call, 'cause i'm so afraid that their going to tell me it's $5,000 (which is out of my price range).

I think that when people see a site with no prices, they assume that they are more expensive.

I agree....
I like to see prices. When buying my yorkies I usually moved on when I didn't see prices.
