Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Unbelievable. Smh
Have never heard of anyone charging extra for Live Arrival Guarantee. LAG should be a "given" for most reptiles (including Beardies).

If the animal was shipped via SYR.com then the 5.00 would be the DOA insurance that SYR provides (2.50 per 100.00 insured).
However, that insurance refers to an animal being DOA due to late delivery.
If the animal arrives dead and the package was not late then it is the seller's responsibility to figure out why and refund accordingly.

The dragon posted for 400 is the same as the dragon I was purchasing for 250. Difference is its on his website vividdragons.com where he consistently posts for different prices. Even on his fauna posts he was constantly changing prices. I posted the one shown on is website to show 1) he marked it sold there too and 2) even he thought the one he gave me was a lesser quality dragon cuz it was priced at 225 as opposed to the one I ordered that he proced on there for 400. Im assuming he marked the 400 one sold the same time he marked the 250 one "SOLD SOLD SOLD....." on Aug. 5.

And thanks beauboi. Guess I just have to take this as a lesson learned and hope karma does her job.

Wow, I would never dream of asking the buyer to pay extra for live arrival. That should always be a given. And if it was for insurance like someone else said, he should have paid that out of his own pocket not make you pay more. Reptiles express has the insurance option and if I did choose to insure, it would be out of my own pocket.

While I do pay for the insurance out of pocket as a seller, it's not a big deal to me if someone asks me to pay if I want it. It's an optional thing to cover if a package is late or an animal dies because of late delivery. Live arrival should be guaranteed, but since this goes above that, I find it ok for someone to ask if they want it and then charge them for it. They could have just added it to the price along with the boxes and supplies and the buyer wouldn't know any better anyways. It does add up and with supplies, paypal fees, gas to fed ex, the sellers often times eat a lot of additional costs. I've actually gotten refunds for a few late packages and all the money goes back to the buyer. I don't get refunded for the insurance or any money I'm out. So I look at it as a positive thing for any buyer to have. It's an extra optional cost, so I find no reason to not offer it to the buyer at their expense.

The insurance thing I just through in because someone else brought up that that could have been it, but the way she worded it was he charged her extra just to get the guarantee not for insurance

I'm not sure how he worded it to her, but the price makes sense. It's $2.50 per $100. So $5 if he insured it for $200. I agree that it shouldn't be worded with live arrival guarantee because that should be on every seller anyways.

Everyone just a heads up!! Ben Shotts has now made a new account named "whirlwind". I've compared his dragons for sale with pics of the ones from his old account and his fb page at Vivid dragons and am sure it's the same guy. Not to mention this new account was made right after I created this thread about him.
Here's his new page under Whirlwind:

And here's his fb:
