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.

Does it seem awfully stingy to anyone that if they ship you a snake you paid $8.76 to buy...and it dies during shipping...that they would refuse to refund you your $8.76??

They can't even guarantee that you'll "win" the animal you bid on.

The above quote is from Item 8 on their site, regarding delivery.

Wait, I didn't know snakes had features. I wonder if they'll auction one off that plays Blue Rays?

I found it stingy, too. On top of that, the return policy is vague as to what it is referring to. I very seriously doubted that they would apply that to a snake, but since I didn't see any other "products" on their site, I wondered what it was all about. Was it worded in a possibly misleading way on purpose? Or did they just throw a standard return policy up there without giving it much thought? That we will probably never have a REAL answer to, but either way, it's not a good sign to me.

Hahahaha.. I missed that memo, as well. I should have asked Avi when he was going to mosey on back here and answer some other questions for us when I had him on the chat.

I mean if they're auctioning off a snake with a blue ray player in the snakes cloaca, I'll bid  . I don't think we'll see Avi again!

I'd compare this to the "Titanic" but at least the "Titanic" launched successfully before it went under.

I honestly don't believe it was intentionally misleading. I think they just ripped the TOS off of some other penny-bid site and didn't bother reading it or adjusting to to their very unique situation of dealing with live animals.
It's just another example of very poor business savvy, at the very least.
The fact that they would simply plagiarize someone else's TOS...the fact that they don't bother reading it to see if it even makes sense...the fact that they can't be bothered to adjust it to meet their very specific and peculiar needs....each says a lot about the skill and capabilities of those trying to get this business off the ground.

I'm sure it's just another thing that applies to "other" products that they "may" auction off at a later date. Just like those customer testimonials that are coming soon..
