I Need Help
I made a huge mistake, I lost my job and was unemployed for 2 months. I just started a part time job but I am way behind on bills. So I thought I would sell my severe macaw which was a heartbreaking decision to make but I had to do something. I sold him to a Jaime and Travis who said he was a gift for thier mother. I really thought these were good people and I trusted them. I made them promise that if they could not keep the bird or if they had any problems to please call me and I would find a way to buy him back. Well 2 hours after buying him from me for 600.00 they have him on Craigslist for 1200.00. I called them and they refuse to sell him back to me for 600.00 but they would sell him back to me for 800.00. I finally borrowed the 200.00 from a friend and now they are refusing to sell him back to me agaim. Can anyone help?

I'd flag the ad, first of all. Craigslist doesn't allow you to sell animals. And post the link here so that people can send them email.

I would place an ad on the same section as your bird and tell everyone what it is that they are doing. Make it harder for them to sell him that way.

Get someone else you do know well and get them to buy your bird back for the $800 if possible. Bastards!

Flag them and post what they are up to. Of course, they will flag your post. Best of luck. Terrible people.

Perhaps you could ask for donations to save up the amount he's selling for and buy him back? You could threaten them with legal issues- even if they are false- they might just sell him back out of fear? But definately post this story for potential buyers to see!!! There should be people out their willing to help you- this is terrible!

Sadly, this is not too uncommon.
Happens alot. and its sad...... thats why we have to be soooooooooooooooooooooooo very careful of where the go, and often times, better to find him a place with someone that you know if at all possible sorry this has happened to you. I hope things work out.
