    I have no idea if your prices are good/bad, but why don't you price them at £100 and £150 and then see what offers you get!

    I'm a shepherd and (years ago) used to sell odd litters of collie pups on Gumtree. One litter I upped the price from £120 to £150 and despite loads of texts offering £100 to £120 I struggled to sell them. Next litter I asked £200 so i could come down to the £150 i wanted - sold them easily and nobody even tried to haggle.

    Maybe OPs asking price is too cheap and making buyers suspicious.

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply.

    Still have them but I've now a use for the more expensive one, so just the cheaper one to sell.

    Will look at facebook groups and see whats happening there too.
