Dan Foss/Reptiles Plus Cut and Run

And another quick update: After listening to him rant about how Deb is lying for some unknown reason I finally suggested that he take some better pictures of the snakes in question with a piece of paper showing the current date. I proposed that we'd leave it up to outside observers to decide. If they said that it was a Fire then I'd accept them and the deal would be done. If they said it wasn't then he needed to give me the $400 value of the trade. He stated that he would do so today under natural light with today's newspaper. I have tried to contact him today, but received no replies.

This guy is worthless. I had a very short, but telling conversation with him on FB. He's no good.
Though I do agree that there were some obvious signs that he is ,
I won't go blaming you.

The guy appeared to be trying hard and all avenues to get someone...he finally did. No way in hell everyone can always protect themselves. We can all do our best but when you have someone who acts like a vulture and constantly preys on everyone and their brother, sooner or later someone is going to get caught.

As I said, he is worthless. I also doubt you will be seeing much and if you do I would *assume* the animals will not be as described.
At this point you wil have to take what you can get OR get serious. (COURT)

He's a punk. Hopefully he will have some life changing event and disappear.

Good luck to you.

Well, he's started threatening me with a lawyer for damaging his reputation. I think he's handled that one well enough all on his own. I keep giving him the opportunity to settle this amicably and he keeps trying to shift blame onto someone else. I don't know if he's just a basically bad person, or is some kind of bind that he's trying to get out of, or what. In the end it doesn't matter.

Me too. He is using the same scare tactic as many when they are caught out, in order to hush up the other party from telling the truth. Read a few BOIs and you will see that when cornered, that's a classic threat.

Taking one last shot at making it right. I offered to let him return the Spider female and het Albino male +$100 and we call it even. I'll let you know what he says, if he even responds.

Well, he jumped on that deal. Unfortunately his way of paying the $100 is with cash in the box so there's no way to track it. This experience has left a bad taste in my mouth, but I still don't think he set out to screw me from the get-go. The whole thing has just been freaking bizarre. He's even including the "Fire het Albino" for free, saying that he wants an apology when she proves out.

I'm waiting until you actually receive the snakes and the cash instead of just the promises that he will send them. And hopefully, an apology to you for threatening you with his lawyer, if he has one, which I question.

Believe me, after all I've been through with this guy I'm not counting my chickens yet. I could receive a box of dead snakes, I could receive the wrong animals, I could get the right animals but not the money, I could get nothing... One thing I don't see myself getting is any kind of apology. If I do get what he's promised I'll at least be able to breathe easier. This past week has been hell.

Unfortunately, history has shown that our FedEx driver has an aversion to ringing door bells. I always take video of opening a box, and I will be extra careful on this one.
