Message: <blockquote data-quote="METAL AND SPIDERS" data-source="post: 68564" data-attributes="member: 4586">I would like to invite TARANTULA FORUM members to check out a NEW project I have been working on! The TARANTULA/TRUE SPIDER PRICING AND MARKET AVAILABILITY ANALYSIS is designed to help both vendors and consumers buy, sell and analyze market activity on tarantulas and true spiders as well as provide helpful information such as average pricing and availability. Using this information, both vendors and consumers can determine not only a base price of what they should buy or sell a tarantula or true spider for, but also how often a particular species is available. With this analysis, you can determine which purchasing avenue is most efficient and economical: buying at a "brick and mortar"/vendor show, which is usually more expensive, has a smaller selection, but means you get your tarantula/true spider that day, or buying from an online vendor and having to pay shipping, which is usually very expensive, and you have to have your order shipped, but prices can be better and you generally have a greater selection. As far as vendors go, I realize that this analysis may have a "stigma" that this will not help, and in fact may hinder, business, but I do not feel this is true. True hobbyists understand that just because an item is cheaper somewhere else, does not mean that the value is greater. I believe that all ships rise in a high tide. This information can be useful for vendors when looking for untapped or rarely available markets as well as help with establishing price points for species that they are personally offering for the first time. A colleague to colleague relationship is always better than a competitor to competitor relationship. The online vendors I have chosen to be part of the TARANTULA/TRUE SPIDER PRICING AND MARKET AVAILABILITY ANALYSIS are some of the most popular and best rated online vendors that have an often available large selection of tarantulas and true spiders and, offer very good quality, information and prices. The analysis currently covers 448 species of tarantulas and true spiders, 8 additional color phases and has pricing and availability from now 8 off the top online vendors. It additionally has a sheet that has links to some of the other online vendors, a sheet that has an index of common and scientific names allowing you to look up a common name (since several species have many) and find the correlating scientific name and an industry terms definition index.Additional features and species are added each month as this informative analysis continues to grow.The amount of data collected each month needed to assemble this analysis takes up a good chunk of my personal time. I am passionate about this, but I do value my time and therefore I'm selling this analysis for $8.00 per issue, to the general public, hobbyists and vendors whom I do not have on this analysis. I am offering a 30 day FREE trial for all that are on TARANTULA FORUM! Just Send me an email @ <a href="mailto:metalandspiders@gmail.com">metalandspiders@gmail.com</a>, let me know you saw my ad on TARANTULA FORUM, and I'll send you the link and grant you access to this analysis for 30 days for FREE!The TARANTULA/TRUE SPIDER PRICING AND MARKET AVAILABILITY ANALYSIS is a Google Spreadsheet. That means (unfortunately to some) that you must have a Gmail account to view it (it's a Google Doc Share File). At this point, it is the most efficient way to update and distribute. (and I personally use Google Drive for everything) It is pretty self explanatory as far as using (scroll up and down, left and right), although I will be updating it with a more in depth "How To Use" section. One key note is depending on screen size and web browser, you may have to zoom in or out using "Control -" or "Control +". It has frozen rows and columns that can make viewing difficult unless you zoom out (Control -). If you have any questions on using this analysis, please feel free to ask, shoot me a question here: <a href="mailto:metalandspiders@gmail.com">metalandspiders@gmail.com</a>I won't take up any more of your time, If this is something that resonates with you, please send me an email with your gmail email address and I will send you the link with your invite to access the TARANTULA/TRUE SPIDER PRICING AND MARKET AVAILABILITY ANALYSIS. If you choose to utilize this analysis, I always appreciate any and all suggestions, comments or constructive criticism.Thank you for your time.Bob AndersonMetal And Spiders</blockquote>
