6 Yellow Labs $25-online Vs. $50-lfs

[skiltrip]

If you had the choice to buy 6 Yellow Labs...

at your LFS for about $50.00
or

buy them online, having them shipped (by a seller with great feedback and lots of praise, and who seems to be popular for going out of his way to please the customer) for $24.90 (that's the total price, shipping included).

which would you do?

seems like the online route scares a lot of people, including me.

I voted LFS, better safe than sorry IMO.

I've very much torn...

Also, I can get 12 yellow labs from this seller... for a total price that comes out to $2.57 a piece!

My thinking was... getting 12, i could weed out aggressors, and possibly get a nicer group in the end. I could sell back the lesser/meaner ones back to the LFS.

So it's like... 12 for $30 online.

or 6 from the LFS for about $50 (maybe more with tax and such).

you can see how i'm torn no??

LFS anyday, you can see the colours from all angles, you can see their healthy and the fish don't have the stress of shipping

i know they are young in this picture, but i don't see any black at all. do these look weird to anyone? or do they look like little labs to you?

well... turns out... i went to my LFS after work and there were 6 baby labs in a mixed africans tank for about 4 bucks a piece. i got my 6 for $24 at my LFS! they are the cutest things ever.

I like the LFS just because I like to see the fish before I buy them and I like to save them a trip in a box full of stress !
