If you answered yes to all of these, then you could be in for the deal of your life.

Mike Caldwell, a hobby farmer from Denholm, Que., a half-hour north of Gatineau, has decided it’s time to part with his herd of six alpacas, and he’s willing to let them go for the low, low price of $250, which he estimates to be less than one-tenth of their value.
