Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I haven't had any personal business dealings and only recently ran accross him, via a friend who saw his add for a pictured clown, labeled as a lesser for sale for $200 each. Unfortunatly I missed screen shotting this as we polightly pointed out the mistake and he deleted the add, then promptly reposted the same picture without a morph name for the same price. He also has a visual clown posted as 66% and a poorly pictured albino fresh hatchling with a list of his prices Albino, lesser, 66% clowns $100 each.
After I posted a few public questions asking about the low prices and for extra pictures of parents and siblings, I also sent him a polightly worded PM asking if he would speak with me about his listings since, aside from the gentics not matching up with pictures, if he actually has what he has, the prices he is selling at are extreemly low compared to general market value. My pm was ignored and my comments later deleted over night. Ive screen shot the adds incase he removes them, though not till after my comments where deleted <this is where I start to smell fish more than just a casual keeper that may not understand genetics>
I am not saying for 100% this man is attempting to scam anyone, but I felt an info thread might not be a bad idea to alert people who may have more information or may be considering purchasing from him.
I will link this thread in a pm to his facebook so he can respond if he chooses. Hopefully this is just a misunderstanding .

Can you post the screen shots you took? It sounds like he is definitely up to no good, but all proof you can post helps!

I apologize for the pictures being abit small, I can email those interested the full size copies, working from a small laptop so I can only get so much of the screen in at one time.
Order is picture of the snake advertised, then comments below. Really wish Id started taking pictures before my questions were deleted.

Ariel, did you get a response from the young lady who posted her warning/plea on northeastoh.ebayclassifieds?
I did see and took screen shots of some incrimininating dialogue between she and Mr. Everley and well as another person, but I don't want to post those shots until she either posts here herself or grants me persmission to do so.

I got a response from her saying that she was now under the impression that the other person mentioned in the initial add I posted stole the snake from Rob, I pmed her back asking if she wanted to share more information and saying there were more threads with evidence of him scamming people. She said she would look into it and I havent heard back from her yet. I did pm on facebook the person who supposedly stole the retic from Rob to see if he wanted to share his side of the story, but no response there either yet.
I will add, since I posted a second question on Robs facebook asking about the genetics on his animals, he has removed the postings with the screen shots I put up of the clowns.

Rob
I have been dealing with rob for over a year now mostly getting feeders from him I informed him about this post and also I have seen this retic a few months back that this girl lost or what not i told him i wanted it he wouldnt sell it to me I have not seen it recently though. As far as the ball pythons he allegedly (and I say that just because I haven't seen the snakes in person yet) purchased these from a kid in Akron needing to sell them rob is not into ball pythons and isn't familure with all the morphs so as far as mislabeling them and underpricing I do not think he was intending to screw people over. I am supposed to be purchasing the albino ball pythons when I return to Ohio from my business trip and if he has all the animals and they all check out I will post picture and proper labels for them if they do not I will inform this thread.
