It's definitely becoming common place. Definitely getting to a point to where the only safe deals are with those we know, or with those that have an impeccable reputation.. It's a Sad state of affairs..... With the BOI going down next February, It'll definitely be "BUYER BEWARE", not that it's not now.... Lynn Peterson Big Time Reptiles |
I'm about to place an ad and it will be a local delivery only ... meeting at a rest stop or restaraunt but definitely not a show ... the way we did it 'back in the day' . Waaaaaay back in the day , LOL.
You're right about the problems the BOI closing will bring. Though Rich said he thinks it's not needed anymore, I think something like it is needed MORE THAN EVER. I'm still hoping that there will be an even tougher successor after the BOI is gone. If not, the honest people in this are done ... unless they all go back to personal meetings, etc. |

Jim, back in the day it was done through the airlines, mainly U.S. Air, (they were very reasonably priced) and we found the critters on price lists, that were mailed, or we called the dealers in Florida, New York, California, etc. and asked what they had available. Then came the internet, and with that came any one could be any one they wanted too be, hence the SCAMMER'S.... Those days are gone, and won't return. The old timers have seen the best of times, and the new comers will never experience the best of times, we've seen. As far as meeting in person, that's great, "IF" you both live reasonably close, what to do if the sale or purchase is coast to coast, or border to border? There's no good answer, or solution, just research the best you can..... JMHO.......... Lynn Peterson Big Time Reptiles |
The member has been banned. There are inconsistencies with the registration details, the IP address is associated with spammer attacks, the location information is specious (a crock, really), the biography section's styling is common to similar scam/spam attempts here, the email address for the user is in both puppy and cat scam ads, and the photos in the lace monitor ad are stolen. Then there is the species discrepancy....

They beat the stuffing out of you and take your money and car and run They pay with counterfeit money They do artistic things with paint and your red dragon is a nice critter but mousy brown after its first bath the next morning Quote:

I can do this now because I've worked with pretty much everything I wanted - except Bushmasters :( - in nearly 50 years. There are still things I want but have to remind myself about what am I going to do with the babies ... so either talk myself out of it or buy one animal and not a pair. :shrug01: |
