I am not from the area but your post made me curious and I would like to ask if you don't mind do you want these snails for sale to restaurants or you will do photoshoots with them for magazines? I am pretty much astonished there is a market for that kind of thing Smiley

I love questions and it is kind of a cool business (in my opinion!)

I have all types of customer... the main ones are:

1.  Schools.
2.  Parents.
3.  Future Escargot and Caviar farmers (Helix Aspersa caviar is more costly than black tuna ect)
4.  Scientist.  They use them for Neurology experiments on training brains and 0 gravity stuff ect ect... these are the best qualified animals for College level and higher experiments (so I hear)
5.  Photo shoots & movies.  This ranges from highly professional magazines (Vogue and the other one listed in the OP) all the way to amateurs.

My prices are to high for restaurant clients... I've considered pricing them with better prices, but honestly most places are happy serving canned goods. 

I'm working with someone to offer fresh cooked USA snails are a very low cost... once we get over that bump in the road I'll price more aggressively for those type of consumers.

We offer 10,000 snails for $6000 (which isn't listed right now for some reason on the site... will fix tomorrow)

I'm looking to hire someone based in California that has the knowledge or the drive to find wild free range Helix Aspersa and ship them.

Helix Aspersa are also known as CORNU ASPERSUM now days (aka Brown Garden snails.)



They are considered a pest in our country, but in fact are a delicacy.

They can be found all over the Bay Area.

I'm willing to reimburse shipping cost and pay 30% of the California sales. (all payable in Bitcoins or USD... whatever floats your boat)

There are also a number of other ways you will earn with me... such as meeting magazine people for photo shoots and other odds n ends like that.  For meeting such as these you will earn 70% + travel expense (gas ect). Dejour magazine for example is waiting on me to come up with an employee for a photoshoot.

This shouldn't be treated as a full time job right off the bat, but it is a wonderful way to earn some Bitcoins by walking around outside and mailing a few boxes.

Snails are only shipped on Monday and Tuesdays.

I'm looking to hire someone because I'm not in California at the moment and my current people I use to dropship aren't cutting it.

This is super laid back and chill, but packages MUST be sent in a timely fashion.  I take great pride in having happy customers and I expect everyone else around me to do the same. Smiley

If you are even remotely interested or have the knowledge of finding these little bastards please don't hesitate!
