Dav Kaufman - Beware

I'm just not sure why this has went on for so long. It sounds as if this was clearly a misidentified snake. Mistakes happen but make them right when they do. I hope this all works out for you and he does the right thing.

Are you serious! Dude, I'm sorry this happened to you Randy, but Dav owes you something. Dav if your reading this, I would take Randy's solution of giving him the killer, you will still get some cash and be able to attempt to make things right. Regardless if you were the "middleman" or not, YOUR name is at stake here. And it is your responsibility.

Thanks Jessie, but that option is off the table. I think his comment that it's over means he is not going to do anything. Even if he was, me giving him more money is out. Like I said, I was being nice going off a high price just trying to be cool. There is a killer bee clown listed for $1800 shipped so his killer is worth more like $1400 max.

Randy,

Just a FYI, Dav only ever offered 1 in a ad on fauna. That ad was deleted back in 2012. He posted the ad about a month before you stated you purchased the one you did for about the same price you purchased from him.

Could you post a picture of yours or the picture he sent you?

The one he had up on fauna at that time was '11 male at 275grms for $1,500.

The ad does not mention he received it in a trade or was brokering a deal. Matter of fact, it stated he guaranteed the health and genetics.

If it is the same snake, I'll restore the ad.

That could really help. But at this point, from what I can tell Dav isn't even trying to deny or defend himself. Looks like I won't be dealing with Dav and his "guaranteed" genetics anytime soon.

Sure, I will take a picture tonight and post it. It looks a lot like the one he has a picture of in the link above. its not the same one, but has the same lines as that one which could make one think leopard. That may have been the father to this one, that could have been the breeding in that picture? If you restore it and send me the link I can confirm it before tonight.

For those that are trying to keep up with the thread, I think this is the ad the Mr. Hultman was referring to.

Sorry did not see a link in the above posts. This may not be the ad.

yes that is the male I purchased.

Now I must say, I do not believe that Dav was trying to scam anyone. Whoever or wherever this animal originated from I believe they thought it was a leopard pied. The issue now is how its handled. As its written, he guaranteed genetics. Its been over two years lost. He is here now so chime in, defend yourself and lets make this right and move on.

I have read this, and when I have a chance tonight I will respond.
