Ryan Neubauer Sellers Beware (and Buyers Too)

ryan_neubauer@onmilwaukee.com (his email)

Well, I had my first incident with a "deal gone bad." I had posted a 1.0 adult male ball python for sale on reptibid. Well, he was bid on and one for $70 by this individual (known as Mueagle on the site). He/she asked to wait to make payment until 05-23-03 for money reasons, and I agreed (I'm not a nasty person, I understand waiting for paychecks). When no payment arrived (I ONLY deal with Paypal) I emailed the individual. They told me they had gotten "laid off" that day (day payment was supposed to be received conveintly) and couldn't pay, but offered a boa in trade. I refused, went on reptibid gave them a negative feedback for not paying and dragging out the whole thing, waisting my time and reposted the animal...Then...I get an email an hour or so ago from the webmaster saying I sent an animal to this RYAN NEUBAUER that was "tick infested," not what I had the picture up of, etc.

So, what does everyone think? What to do next? I defended myself to the webmaster and am patiently waiting for a response. Depending on how this is dealt with, I may have to recommend NO ONE use reptibid for this reason. No protection for the seller...

(hey I forgot, it was an honest mistake)

So far I am pleased with ReptiBids attempts at "clearing me."

Just so you know
Ben has Baranquilla local Colombian boas.

This Ryan guy is selling "Baranquilla locale specific redtails" on Kingsnake.
what is the difference you ask? the ad is "somehwat" misleading.
I was not paying attention and was seriously interested in his animals. That is until someone pointed me out to the fact that TRUE redtails do not originate from Baranquilla.

Anyway I asked the guy if they were captive bred or farmed.

He says they are captive bred from Ben Suigel's Baranquilla facility. Wanna know what that means? It means they are really farmed. Either this guy does not know the difference or he will say anything to make a sale.

I guess that is also why he is charging double the price as Ben.
Because Ben's arre colombian...while ryan's are "locale specific redtails"

Those are indead farm raised Baranquillas from Ben seigel,because ,i bought them from Ben,and Ryan bought them from me!!..I would have to assume they are anyway,considering he is using my pic's in his ad!!
I had them on reptibid also..the reserve was not met,but we worked out a deal off auction...He did paypal...although not for that kind of money!!

GOODBYE RYAN NEUBAUER!

Webmaster has been notified!

Heads up......You should really change your signiture so that it automatically diplays your full name with every post. You forgot to include your first and last name with a couple of posts within this thread. The webslave may delete all of the posts that do not include your full name.

I don't see why I need to do that considering in the original post my name is stated there, and it's not like I changed usernames.

Because not everyone reads entire threads, and may not want to search back through a thread to figure out who is posting.

Besides, dem's da rules!
