Best incentive for being accurate that I know of. The shop that I use always sells them as 'Best local Cheshire rabbits', but most of mine come from North Wales.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 at £1.50 ahead i can get you cheshire rabbits how many would you like Magman Your offer sounds like the old sales joke. Three chimps decide to set up in business selling coconuts. So they went to the wise gorilla, and he said "I will sell you as many as you want, at a £1 each". So the chimps buy 10, and set up a stall selling coconuts at a £1 each. They do a roaring trade, and so they buy a wheelbarrow and gets lots more coconuts from the gorilla at £1 each. Within a day they had sold them all, and so they bought a truck with a bank loan, and filled it full of coconuts from the gorilla at £1 each (this will make sense in a minute). And sold them all within an hour. The chimps have a sales meeting, and one said "This is a fabulous business, but we don't seem to be making much profit". "Aha, says the head chimp, "What we need is a bigger truck!". So magman, I will buy as many rabbits from you as you can supply. Head shot, skinned and dressed for £0.75 each. Waiting in anticipation. p.s. I can help you shoot your rabbits, as I live in Cheshire. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitron Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 The locals in the pubs and clubs give me £1.50 for rabbits which are head shot,gutted,skinned and jointed and thats been the same price for at least twenty years - dont think I'd get many sales if I put the price up any more !!

Frank Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Why sell them when you can eat them yourself? You can only eat so much rabbit . If you are getting 20 to 30 every week, it would be hard to eat all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are getting 20 to 30 every week, it would be hard to eat all. Easy solution, rabbit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you have a dog or cat then rabbit for them and you can freeze it! Yeh I guess your right but do you just go in and ask if theyll buy it off you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davrian Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I'm just not seeing them this year! had one so far! Had a huge rise in the Buzzard population and I've seen more foxes the last couple of years. Could this be why? The numbers I see and shoot it would never be worth me selling them at these prices I'll be cooking them! ........... If there not extinct!

rocksaplenty Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Two rabbits always used to equal the cost of a pint of beer - according to a book that I am reading about poaching in the early 1900's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
