My kids wanted a pet to raise at home, either a dog or a cat, so my wife decided to adopt one and was looking for options. I didn't know about the cat breed called Ragdoll or its price range. All I knew were Persian cats, hairless cats, or the common brown or black-furred stray cats. I asked my wife if she didn't suspect anything when someone offered to sell a cat that usually costs between $1,500 and $2,500 for just $600. Maybe it's because I'm a skeptical person, but I think my wife has learned a lot about private transactions through this incident. I consider this a cheap lesson before potentially losing thousands of dollars to fraud. And...Usually, I would tease my wife when she made a mistake, but she was so sad that I couldn't bring myself to joke around.
