A bargain on reptileauction.com!

I emailed this person & let them know their ad seemed "shady" & that they were also violating paypal TOS by sticking on a 4% surcharge. If you are in the market for a 100% het for albino BP (and a female too) take a look...

can't believe people are actually bidding...duh!

The 4% would be a non-starter for me for certain though I'm not entirely sure what you find "shady" about the rest of the listing.

A female het albino goes for at least 600... it's just too cheap to be serious!

It could be for real, but it certainly raises an eyebrow!

I understand that the price is low. But the auction has 5 days to run and serious bidders won't show until the last 24 hours or so.

When I had a camera business a number of years back I would list $1000+ cameras with no reserve and start the bidding at $1. They always sold for about what they were worth.

So I will ask again, what am I missing?

#1. The person's name needs to be in the topic line.
#2. Provide screen shots, not just a link. When the add is pulled/expires the link is useless. This will be locked until you create a new thread in the correct format then the two will be merged.
