Its always good to read everybody's opinion's and get a handle on how people think.
None are right or wrong.
Thanks for the sensible replies.

i normally wait until they are feeding, but i've had some ask for non feeders so they can get them feeding, ive also given non feeders away, 100% are now feeding,

i always keep in contact and offer advice and always leave the option to return the hatchy if they can't get it feeding,

I always advise people to buy feeders, if they are experienced of course it's not really a problem. I would and have bought non feeders and bad feeders and had no real issues.

As long as the buyer knows that they are getting an animal that is not feeding then i am fine with it, but i do not agree or condone people saying yeah its feeding but just fiddly that annoys the hell out of me. I have and still would buy unfeeding animals

I'd hope both parties exercise some common sense and quiz each other on the animal for sale and the back ground of buyer and seller. I wouldn't sell an unfeeding hatchie to an inexperienced herper, ya not out to sign a death sentence on the little ones. I ve refused to sell snakes to even experienced herpers , due to poor attitude on their husbandry techniques.
