I know I am not stating anything not already posted, but ....
In his original post on 12-4, Robert stated
"I responded to an ad for a high red Brazilian Rainbow Boa male yearling on Kingsnake.com for $300. I wanted to use PayPal or Visa, but she insisted on a personal check. I sent her the check and she cashed it on September 6, 2016. Weeks later she said the snake had been neglected while she was out of town and that it had a stuck shed"
Then Kathy Robbins posted her experience and texts regarding her attempt to purchase a BRB from Lisa a month prior to Robert's transaction. In Lisa's texts to Kathy, she stated that the snake Lisa sent payment for had
"several" mites because the snake was taken to a reptile show and that
"a dear mentor and friend who is who just bought about 20 of my snakes he will take the Brazilian rainbow even though it has mites" and that said snake was
"only here for another 15 minutes". And in her texts to Kathy, Lisa states the snake
"maybe has 5 or 10 mites on it".
THEN after telling Kathy in texts about the mites on the snake, from being taken to a reptile show, lol ... Lisa arrives to defend herself (post #25) claiming the snake DID NOT have mites, but those were, in fact, moth eggs inside the fluorescent light cover. How could she possibly see mites, tell Kathy as much and that her "dear mentor and friend" was willing to take the snake with 5-10 mites on it ... and then come back to say, oops, those were moth eggs. Laughable at best, coming from someone with so many years of experience, or so she claims.
Oh, and she also told Kathy in those texts that the snake was off the market, likely because she found another buyer that was willing to buy the snake, even with mites, lol. That crap about mites and moth eggs just does not add up.
Same with a "stuck shed" and a 3-month wait to receive a snake she claimed was "neglected" while she was out of town, doesn't add up.
Then along comes Brandon with his testimonial.
"I was invited to her home after she was afraid that she may have had mites during the time that was disclosed .... and I found nothing. I also assisted in a detailed cleaning and provent a mite treatment of her whole collection for preventative measures at the time". So, Brandon where is mention of the "moth eggs" that were miraculously discovered?
Did you forget, Brandon, that it was Lisa herself who came back only to say that her entire collection had been examined by multiple vets and declared "disease-free"?
Are you the mentor and friend who agreed to take the BRB with "several mites"? Is that the reason the snake was off the market? Wonder who the friend was that was entrusted to care for her collection while she was out of town and responsible for the "neglect" she claimed to the snake Robert purchased.
The only thing I see here is a whole lot of deflection and excuses by the seller, a holier-than-thou attitude and insults toward others . If she has made good on Robert's refund, then good. About dam time ! Even though she doesn't do PP
.
Got to wonder if she would have done same without Robert coming here and outting her.
Buyers beware.
