No it is not. It would entrapment if presented this way.

I don't know if this should be here, But I found it odd that he asked me about an add I had. I have attached both emails. Is the norm or is it a scam? I told him I did not want to do this at all. What do you guys make of this??

Thanks
Tom

Yes, you ship on consignment, we sell during the show and either we buy whatever is left over after the show personally, or we send it back on our buck if not.

Sounds like he is trolling for some free snakes...

Yes, This is someone you do NOT want to do business with in my opinion. Scamming people, offering pot and false medical cards as payment..whats next?

There also seems to be a beware post about him on Alex Hue's site but I don't have access to that thread at the moment.

BEWARE Chris @ Bay Area Arboreals!

its been a while since i've ben on this board,just reading this about mr chris.
I had dealing with this dude a few years back,got a gtp off him,the dude is off his head on drugs,i paid $600 for the snake,he told me it was trooper walsh blood line,so i jumped on it to make a long story short ,he comes to my place with the snake,i taled to him for a few days before getting the snake he seem cool,so the day came for the snake,he comes with it off his head on drugs,said he forgot the paper work for the snake and he would bring it later.
i rang him emailed him,never heard from the dick again,
this dude is bad,dont have anything to do with him,he will fill you fullof shit telling you he ships reptiles all over the world,

What do you mean, off his head on drugs? How was he acting? I haven't dealt with people who have been involved with drugs, so was curious as to what his behavior was like that made you think that.

Do you have any emails from your conversations? The more detail, the better to help make sure this guy doesn't rip others off.

Since "Budgie" gives his real name as John Smith and his location as the BOI, I would be hard pressed to lend a lot of credence to anything he says. If he is not willing to put his true name to his statements, They carry little weight as far as I am concerned.

Nope, John Smith isn't even close.

Joseph, your real first name is required on the BOI. Please add it to your posts.
