I have been raising my first set of axolotls and I'm having a hard time selling them. Any recommendations would be great prices how to everything and anything please
 
Because they produce so many eggs/babies, why don't you give them away?? HIgh school science classes might like them. I had them in my classroom when I was teaching.

Well right now I have a lot of money tied up in raising them
 
You can try reaching out to local pet shops/ fish stores in your area to resell. When I had this problem I had a nice deal going with a local shop to trade axolotls for store credit. They didn't offer me much but it helped when I had 30 juveniles to find homes for.

I did call all local shops they're not interested. But thank you

How much have you spent to raise them?
Mine cost almost nothing to raise its only the time spent faffing with them that I would say they have cost me.
If you can't get sales then I expect the local market is saturated or they are just not popular where you live.
I appreciate this post is a few months old. I hope you managed to sell them!

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
