Question how to sell a baby?

I have a baby green parrotlet, that I've tried selling here and there. I'm asking $75 for her, but... no takers. People are interested. I started at 125, and now the price has been cut by $50. She'll be ready for a good home in 2 weeks.

Should I just wait and see how it goes? I'm just trying to find her a good home.
Any ideas?

she is sorta-she was abandoned at 5 weeks, so I started handfeeding 2 weeks later than I should have, and shes the only one left of her clutch.
I'm up in Bemidji.
Once you've had her out of the cage for a few minutes, she'll snuggle and let you give scritches and the like. But, she wasn't raised with other babies, so she didn't learn that it hurts when she bites-or else she knows, and finds it fun to nip fingers.

That said, she'll let my kids hold her, anyone can pet her, shes a cute little bug!

She is adorable! I would love to take her but Bemidji is a bit far. I have family that goes up that way to go ice fishing sometimes so maybe I can talk them into going in 2 weeks...I will let you know if you don't find a home for her before then!

Not sure if you have tried this yet but I bought my Nanday off Kijiji (free classified add site). Whenever I buy/sell I get a lot of replies: kijiji.com

EDIT: Not sure why but when I added the URL it added all the extra text on its own?

we have flaggers on craigslist in our areas. If its even 'make offer' and you put down the original purchase price, its flagged off.. Been there, done that.

But, I did forget about upatsix! sheesh, where was I?
