First time I've seen carp for sale like this on eBay, although I admit that I don't actually look for them! - CLICK HERE

Interesting link, Elton.

 

The words 'steer' and 'clear' spring to mind! :rolleyes:

 

And as for the price... I think it's him that's having the dream!

 

At £5k for the 250lb, if you say they are all 20lb at best, that's over £400 each - though as he says, some are double figures so you're paying best part of £400 for a double figure fish!

 

He's not even mentioned if they are health checked, so I can only assume they are not, which would add another few hundred pounds on it (not to mention you may have to kill some to get it!). No mention either of age – if they are old fish the doubles could stay doubles!

 

Far better to buy a healthy, young stallion with a proper pedigree from somewhere like Priory. I pay about £100 for a four year old fish between 7-11lb, which could easily be 20lb in a year or two, and in the right conditions go on to do a whole lot more. B)

Policy overview

You can sell a few types of animals and wildlife products, though there are some things that can't be listed on eBay because of complex government regulations and various laws both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

 

Check out the list of items below to find out what you can and can't sell on eBay. If an item is allowed or restricted, be sure to follow our guidelines, shipping restrictions, and applicable laws. You also need to check if selling or shipping these items requires a license, permit, or other paperwork.

 

Make sure your listing follows our guidelines. If it doesn't, it may be removed, and your buying and selling privileges could be restricted.

 

Certificates and Permits

 

Applications for Article 10 certificates should be submitted to Defra, or the Irish Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Export permits can also be obtained from Defra. Information about licensing and application forms for Article 10 certificates and export permits can be found at:

 

http://www.ukcites.gov.uk/license/default.htm.

 

Please state in your item listing whether you are in possession of an Article 10 certificate if it is required.

 

For information on Ireland's licensing and permit rules, visit www.environ.ie.

Live insects, crickets used as bait or feeder food for pets

 

Shellfish, such as crabs and lobsters, that are live when sold but intended for human consumption
