    But if you search on 'completed' listings you'll see that's the most popular one there and usually goes for around the £90 mark. Could be a profitable little hobby, I'm thinking. Now, what's the demand likely to be for 'Pheasant with stupid 'I don't know which way to run' look on its face'? Reckon I could sort out one of those a week for the rest of my life:rotfl:

    I didn't know you could sell taxidermy on ebay but having looked at some of the listings, some you have to wonder if they are legal. Notice the number of "birds" being sold from China - no bird name mentioned but some go for decent prices. You have to wonder whether these birds are endangered as surely any reputable seller would state the bird type?

    they are awful! :(

    they seem to sell a lot of them too! :(

    Also, I can't see that they are registered as a business seller (and I'd say it quite clearly IS a business!).

    :eek: !!!!!

    Words absolutely fail me. Can't believe how many different varieties there are - I saw on completed listings "squirrel on a horse", I thought surely not?! Least the horse was plastic :(

    Reminds me of this, that I unfortunately happened across some years back on a "how-to" website... was drawn towards watching it out of curiosity and felt ill for the rest of the evening :(

    Good point!

    I also can't believe how much money people are willing to pay for a dead squirrel!:( I prefer watching them alive in my local park.
