Resale animals in Franchise
Sorry, if this is not the place where you can write this post. Delete if it’s inappropriate. I am also not a native speaker and use a translator 🙂
I have a zoo where I started breeding chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans. While I develop 100-100 in the first two characteristics, there are already many good animals, some of which I do not need because I have already given the best ones. Of course I put them in the shop. Almost all of them are gold or without a medal, but they have good first two characteristics. This is especially important because when I started this zoo a few days ago, I could not find anything like it on the market, had to wait very long for suitable males for 10,000 credits. But here’s what really gets me off:
I have just delivered about 20-30 quality animals, and most of the gold was bought by a man called WIWI, after which he returned them back for resale. God, why? I already have over 200k credits for breeding and many other animals, and that’s more than enough in this game. Why do you not allow other players to buy animals at a more or less acceptable price?
I put them around 1,800-3,500 (some cheaper than bonobos, some more expensive than gorillas). I think that for young animals with such characteristics is a good price, especially considering that they are almost not on the market, except for animals from Frontier. But now they are in the store for 5000, about 8000 and even 9000.
I am interested in helping someone who really needs these animals in their zoos, but since someone is doing something like this, I just don’t want to give them away for such a price. Just so these people don’t have the opportunity to do such stupid things.
What do you think about that? Should I keep putting my animals at a adequate price or put a higher price? Just now I have the feeling that these animals are almost always bought by retailers, and those who really need these animals, in the end do not get them (or get many times more expensive).

this happens often, people reselling animals. you can use the market channels here in the server to find people who actually want the animals and will play with them not just resell them
I joined here just 10 minutes ago, so maybe I’ll try it next time when I’m releasing some animals for sale, thanks 🙂
roryssbae received a thank you carrot!
I REALLY hope it will become forbidden to resell animals in PZ2. Some players are just plain stupid and play an Economic simulator instead of helping the community.
i recommend to put them for adequate price because thats the people i personally buy from, i dont support the 10k pricing for any species... like people above said, check out #market-listings to try to sell to people that actually care. this reselling business is just a mirror of the society we live in, people try to hustle even in games 😢
Personally I do not care, I can buy the animal even for 10k, if I need it and I do not want to wait long, for me credits do not matter.
But I understand that not all people have a lot of time and therefore many credits. so even though these same gorillas are rare in the market, I sold them at fairly normal prices, but I was so pissed that that user just bought them all at once, not even giving other people an opportunity to buy them if they really needed them, and offered almost at the maximum prices of lol
But a little cooled off from this situation, I thought it still makes no sense to try to overprice for such people, in the hope that at least one or two animals really buy the one who needs it. and yes, in the future I want to use the market list here, if my animals are needed by someone, I will gladly sell them to a person to take care of it further or breed
I have 70k credits and 600 hours in the game
It sounds like a lot to me, but just buying a few of those mega expensive animals will bankrupt me in a second 😅
So I'm one of those people that appreciate fair pricing
To be honest it hasn't even occurred to me that people resell until now so thank you for sharing your experience
All the more reason to stay away from 10k species
but I will be honest, I made two or three sales for 10k price in this game when I gave birth to perfect lions with characteristics 100-100-100-100
but these were my animals that I spent many hours of real time on, so yes, sold for such a price several times 😀
Yeah I think that's fair!
The problem buying very expensive animals is that you encourage this way of playing. I could do that without any problem (heck, I've got more than 300 000 CC), but I refuse.
