[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 516567, member: 9"] Back in the 1990's there was a rampant craze with Emus and Ostriches in North Texas area. Ostrich eggs were selling for up to $5,000 and "weanlings"(?) selling about same. Breeding pairs selling $10,000 to $20,000. So much for the "bull market". Not much longer after that, "breeders" couldn't give them away...were supposedly turning them out to roam since they didn't want to feed something that you couldn't sell. Another one of those "Pyramid Schemes" that made a select few promotors a tough wealthy, while their "subjects" lost their A$$ on the schemes. They learned a hard lesson there was "no free lunch" and "get rich quick promotions" don't make any money except for the original promoters and marketers. :dunce: [/QUOTE]
