    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Has anyone dealt with [email protected] in Bethel OH for feeders?

I emailed a craigslist ad of his/hers and had a disturbing response.

I'll post them up here. I've never had to post anything on here before.

I just figured I'd see if anyone has done business with him/her before and if not, just know what you're getting into. Apparently he/she has mice and rats.

I say he/she because I don't know if this is a guy or girl. The name came up Jon, then George, and the facebook account that is associated with the email is a woman.

This is one of their ads
http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/pet/2637191112.html

ME:
How many feeder rats do you have?

I'm looking for a large quantity.

I'm willing to buy several hundred at a time.

Looking for females

I'll take them so long as they are eating on their own and not too old to produce.

I'm almost 8 hours away but willing to travel if you have what I want

Thanks

Him/Her

yea right

Me:
Jon,

Honestly, Jon, a little customer service is not very hard. I'm looking for someone serious into their breeding to purchase some from. If that's not you, you can just let me know. I'm in New York and looking for someone to buy from, who is as serious as I am.

You're just a little closer to me than MiceDirect, but I figured I'd try to give the "little guy" some business before going to a commercial business for my purchase.

If you can't accommodate, you can let me know and I will move on.

Thank you very much for your time.

Him/her:
The problem is I'm not "the little guy"

Me:
Jon,

Do you care to write a full email explaining what you're talking about?

I'm offering you a lot of business and you're tossing me aside like I'm asking for two pinkies. Do you care to explain why or maybe offer me something, or do you not need the business.

Again, I'm looking for someone serious. I'm not really looking to play games, I don't have the time for it.

Thanks

Him/her:
number 1 dont talk to me like I am a chump you f*cking Moron this is a bulls*it response to my ad which I dont give a fat rats *ss if you keep doing it I get rid of every rat and mouse I have every month so f*ck you and your a*sholeish reasonings you stupid B*TCH

Me:
I can see that you are not the person I want to be doing business with. I hope you're not on any of the forums.

Him/Her
yea whatever a*shole
 
(sorry, I just read the thing about the profanity. I'm not sure how I should have edited what was said aside from what I did. I can no longer go in and edit it now to take it out. I posted word for word copy and paste what was said)
 
lol just move on....if your hitting up people on craigslist, I doubt this will be the first time you get someone like this =)

I would have moved on after the first email response lol...no use in pushing it any further lol
 
ok...that ment to say I doubt this will be the last time you get someone like this....hehe....
 
Willow, imo, the poster put enough information in his first post that it's possible to track the seller down. I certainly wouldn't want to remain unaware of something negative posted about me.
 
Should I email him/her the thread, or just let it be?

I'm not sure the procedure with this.

Yeah, I guess I should have guessed I wouldn't get good "customer service" on Craigslist. *sigh*
 
Oh I agree the OP should let the person know that this was posted, I ment that the OP should have moved on long before posting here in the first place =)

Click to expand...

Emailing him/her the thread would work.


I wouldn't tar and feather all of Craigslist, there are some very reputable sellers on there, too. :)
 
;-) Yeah that's true. I just need to find one. I was just shocked at the "customer service"

I think if you're "selling" something, at least have respect for interested parties. *shrug*. It's the business major in me. :p

Emailing thread now
 
** I was going to leave it alone, but I thought maybe he didn't think I was serious or something. I did ask for quite a few rodents lol. But I really AM in the market, as unbelievable as it sounds.
 
" as unbelievable as it sounds" Youre posting on a website dedicated to people who love reptiles (and other animals) . Its very believable from 1 to thousands of rodents , reptiles gotta eat :)

There are plenty of other people that can provide you with quality customer service and get you what you need . . .
 
I appreciate you writing this thread anyway. If they treated you this way I appreciate the warning so I don't have to deal with them.

Thanks and good luck finding what you need.
 
Here is the text from the linked ad(I am surprised it hasn't been flagged already):

rats (bethel)

pets or whatever else you can think of very small refeeding OH SORRY rehomeing fee arent we going to have fun today flaggers

* Location: bethel
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

This does not appear to be a legitimate ad from someone trying to sell rats. It looks more like someone just trying to play games with Craiglists users by posting something they know will upset many of the them. I see this a lot on Craigslist.

Why would someone even reply to an ad like this and expect to have a professional transaction?
 
"Him/Her

yea right"

I would have been over for me right there and with out a response.
 
I agree, the ad was just trolling, no reasonable person would respond actually looking for a legit sale.
 
(I thought you meant I was trolling when emailing him).

Anyway, yeah, I emailed every ad in several states that claimed to have feeders, so that included him.
