anyone know of Drew

[The BoidSmith]

I just think,everything could have been handled in a more businesslike manner.

Donel,

Probably so if he would have chosen to address it. I'm not sure if you read the e-mail he wrote. The way I see it he feels everything he has done thus far (and continue to do) is OK. There is no remorse at all, and he blames everything on his wife and partner. This is really dangerous not only for others but for himself. You know individuals with good feedback, particularly if it is bogus can do more damage than the kid that sends a snake that dies on transit and doesn't replace it. By the time people notice what happened it will be too late. What he did are no petty crimes open to interpretation. He violated the law.

If we are going to judge morals and ethics let's be fair. Do you honestly think it is unethical and imoral to provide information about an individual with the intention to try to stop him from deceiving other people? Would you keep that information to benefit yourself only?

Please read this whole thread. I was the first one to apologize to him when I thought I had made a mistake. I have no problem doing so if I'm wrong. Regrettably he proved us all otherwise.

Take care.

 

[Donel]

Hi Tony,as far as contributing,I did post very early in your thread a pic and so forth of snakes I will be recieving from Drew,so I thought that was a pretty positive contribution,but that's neither here nor there.I have no hard feelings with you,Alvaro or anyone else on the thread,and my apologies if emotion tookover and I insulted you or anyone else.It was just a conversation and opinions.Nothing personal.Good luck with your snakes,they are amazing animals.

 

[Donel]

Alvaro,point well taken.Take care

benfits

Hi everyone,well I am glad someone posted inquiring on Drew,because I was going to.I just made a deal with him yesterday for a couple of DH Sunglows.I spoke with him on the phone and he seemed like an honest,very nice guy.Just tough to understand because he is Hungarian.From what I understand he normally works with locality boas.So I don't think he really knows what the going rate for morphs is.If he does,maybe he's just trying to unload alot of snakes fast I don't know,but if he is a scammer he is very convincing.He sent me pics of the two DH Sunglows and he is sending pics of the parents,so we'll see what happens.He also mentioned to me that they could be het ghost(which I also found odd),so maybe the female salmon is a ghost,because he did mention something about an anery in the bloodline.But there is definately a language barrier.We tried to communicate via email,but I wanted to talk to him so I emailed him my # and he called me immediately.And by talking to him I believed him to be honest(you can normally tell when someones full of shi#$#)but these days you never can tell.Also there were good feedbacks on reptibid which made my decision to deal with him,and thanks to everyone who posted,the posts definately make me feel better about dealing with him.

I'm glad we all benefited from this post

 

[Flyride]

i agree

You know Donel I am also a customer of Drew unlike many of the people here that have a problem with him. I feel you are absolutely correct that enough is enough. Everyone wonders why he doesnt post on here and I understand why he doesnt, would you walk into a pack of wolves that is ready and waiting to tear you appart and use your word against you to make you look even worse. I admire his cooperation as to if you have a problem take it up with him and he will have no problem working it out with you. I dont want everyone to attack me now because I am posting the way I feel it is my opinion and if you dont like it than so be it. Bottom line is you feel his practices are unethical and 33 pages deep would be plenty to worn prospective bidders, you have submitted your complaints to reptibid so drop it. You dont have to bid if you dont want to only you have the control over that not him.
And one more thing, there is no need to jump all over someone just because he feel differantly than you do. That is just childish. Everyone has read 33 or so many pages of your rederic you can deal with hearing the other side too.

 

[JDouglas]

Flyride,
I have a feeling this thread will continue until two things happen.

1.) Drew apologizes and takes responsibility for his unethical practices

2.) Reptibid bans him from their website

Until this happens we are all wondering how much longer he will be screwing unsuspecting buyers.

I admire his cooperation as to if you have a problem take it up with him and he will have no problem working it out with you.

You make it sound like he is a stand up guy with a concept of what is ethical. What he is doing is illegal and until it stops we will remain pissed and continue to post.

Just my two cents!

[Sasheena]

I don't know about the rest of these guys, but I want to say why I, a person who has never bought from him, have written on this thread.

I was reading it. I saw the invitation to email him for information, and decided what the heck, why not... I was truly feeling that PERHAPS this man was one who was either ignorant of the etiquette (not to mention legal implications) of doing auctios, or he was in some other way being wronged. He seemed, in spite of his language difficulties, an eloquent guy without the hot-headedness that often TURNS a guy into a bad guy. So I wrote him hoping to learn that what he had done was make mistakes that he would change. I got pretty much the same long response from Drew that someone else did and posted on here. Might have been the exact same. I'll quote my response to him, and his response following if you would like. But before doing so I must point something out here. While I've been "out of the scene" for a while, I used to run something very much like the BOI... a website and consumer group dedicated to the protection of the consumer with a seal of approval for those sellers who met the criteria. We wanted there to be more than feedback which is so easy to pump up. We wanted to stop bad guys. I was ripped off for a few thousand at that time (when I made only enough money for rent and utilities, auction selling paid for my food, and I went MIGHTY hungry some days/months). It was a successful site I ran, and had I had the backbone that Rich has, I might have still been with it. Alas, I do not have that sort of staying power, but I do have the experience from that time. So I'm not talking about online auctions from the perspective of being one who bought a few things a few times. I had two names on Yahoo, and one name on EBay (one of my Yahoo names was for items of a more "mature" nature, which is why I had two names on Yahoo, and that one didn't get my own seal of approval!)

Our email conversation:

Hi, Sasheena,
Thanks for asking. First let me admit my mistakes. I traveling a lot and sometime hard to keep on top of everything. My wife try to handle everything and posted wrong picture with the add. Sometime I use borrowed pictures if buy and resell animals. I always asked the owner of the pictures and they newer had a problem with this. I did not take any pics of from any websites. The problem is I have no way to know where the pictures coming from, who made them. It was my fault, no question about it. I newer mislead anybody newer misrepresented any snake. If I made a mistake I always fixed it, you don't see any of my customers complain. They all happy, check my feedback's on Reptibid. My friend in Connecticut actually admitted to use a picture from online when he sent the snakes to my partner. He did not mean any harm just want to show how the centralian carpet python looks.
About the screen names, some of them was used in Connecticut, I moved to Florida 2 years ago. Since My father sold his collection, he discontinued his screen name. I have a new partner so we choose a new screen name Herpcorner. My older son had the screen name Marlboro, when he comes home he still use it occasionally.
In the fall 2003 we started a new project. In Florida the reptile business is very popular, but only about 10% of the people use online. The rest don't have excess or fund it to risky to deal online. My friends opened a pet shop and ask me to give them some animals and they sell them for me for a little fee. First they were a little slow so I posted the animals on reptibid too. The first problem came when they sold one of the posted animal, just a before the bidding ended. I panicked and put a huge bid on the snake under Marlboro. I win my own snake and the new business idea born. we setup a board with pictures and anybody who comes in can bid on the snakes for $5. The rest is history. we setup another pet shop here with another account Bayherps, and the third in Connecticut, Boidsrus. They downloading a picture people bidding on it everybody happy, Except these guys on boi.
This is legal business and if they don't like it well, it's to bad. My friends posted 3 feedback from the walk in costumers, but I don't let them do this anymore. These accounts Marlboro, Bayherps, Boidsrus can be excess three people Maria, Attila, and Drew. They questioning the names in my family? In My country the first born boy gets his father name so many generations has the same name. What a crime.
This is the story, I try to keep it short many people interested to know the truth.

Sincerely,
Drew
Andrew Kosdi

Here was my response.. a few grammer errors and such, it was early in the morning so I apologize for that:

Drew, thank you very much for your reply. It sounds to me like your intentions are to be as honest as possible. I would like to point out a few things.

1. I can understand the mistake when the snake you had on reptibid was sold, you had to make the bid so as not to renege on a deal with the winning bidder. It was unfortunate and a mistake to offer it on reptibid and for sale elsewhere, but so long as you do not do this again, this is an understandable "newbie" mistake and forgiveable. (I used to do online auctions, not of live animals, and was in charge of something much like the BOI)

2. I know this is going to sound harsh, but I want you to understand I'm telling you this to help you realize the way things work here so please understand this is "constructive criticism" and designed to help you! If you have an animal up for sale on reptibid, it's OKAY for you to have several accounts... AS LONG AS you DON'T bid on your own animals or animals that are part of your partnership. Once you bid your own animals, the intention is seen as trying to raise the amount of money the other person ends up paying. Online auctions are not designed to have a "shill" (I think that is the word, but I could be wrong).... to have someone else that YOU KNOW bid on the auction, not so they can buy it, but so that you can sell it for a higher price is DISHONEST. You can't do that. It might be good business sense in that you will make more money, but it is fraud in the united states and can and WILL get you into a lot of hot water.

3. Using "borrowed" photographs. I think you might have learned your lesson here, but it is very very important. The online herp community is VERY tight. If you use another person's photograph without permission it is a bad thing. It is MUCH MUCH worse to sell an animal and imply that the animal in the photo is the one the person is bidding on. The australian carpet python is a great example of that. If your carpet python is anything like my own two year old Jungle Carpet, it will gain in color over the years and when it is a full blown adult it might look as good as the picture. The problem you had with that advertisement is that you implied that the animal in the picture was the one you were selling.

4. The BOI. It is important that you understand what the BOI is if you intend to sell animals online. It's a rough and tumble sort of place but it serves a very very valuable place in this industry. Your lack of response there, as well as some of the questionable practices that I mentioned above are getting you labeled a "bad guy". That is a BAD THING and from all I've heard about the people who RECEIVE your animals, you have very very nice animals. It would be a great thing to have your wonderful animals back up by a wonderful online reputation. I would suggest that you go online, even though this is a difficult thing, and make an apology, state factually those things that you have done that were wrong, and admit to a willingness to learn and grow, as you didn't understand they were wrong to begin with. Be teachable... some will remain suspicious, but if you act like a gentleman, never lose your temper (you may lose your temper, just respond to the person but never send the message... I've had to do that too!), if you keep your temper online, be as upfront as possible, and be as honest as possible, you will start to develop a GOOD online reputation. Some of the people with the BEST online reputations hardly ever post online, they simply CAN back themselves up with proof of 100% honest dealings in the few instances that some idiot tries to say they've been dishonest. I would like to see this happen with you... that you are shown to be someone new to the online herp industry, that you've made some mistakes, that you've been shown that they are mistakes, and that you are willing to learn. I've seen time and again that this is the real formula to success. I'm glad Iv'e been reading the BOI in advance of actually having much of anything to sell... that way I have learned many of the things not to do... I don't have to worry as much when I do have sixty to 100 eggs this year and hopefully just as many hatchlings to sell... hopefully I'll do it right.

Anyway Drew, I hope You have seen this email as helpful and not one full of accusations, I really would like to help and see that you understand what is right and what is not, and do the right thing, and especially face up to the guys at the BOI... they can be like hound dogs, but the important thing is YOUR honesty, not them.

~Sasheena

and finally his response....

Sasheena,
I thank you for your input. You have many good point and I can take criticism. I understand how it sounds bidding on my own items. Let me tell you if I want more money for my animals I could go to kingsnake.com, or start the bids higher, ect. I started the bids on $1 on my snakes. Price jacking dose not work, unless I know my buyers limits. Without this knowledge I would lose business if I outbid other buyers. 95% of the bids we put on was much lover then the final price. The local hobbyists don't have to much money to spend.
Anyway, this is over and things will be different.

Take care,

Drew

The problem I see here is that this man doesn't even see that he is doing something wrong. It feels ICKY to find that he feels it is just good business practice, and from the standpoint of bringing in the most amount of money, sure, it is. But heck, you can bring in more money by robbing a bank! So why is THAT not good business practice? because it's illegal. So are Drew's actions. I spent time on my response to him, I found that he didn't care about his illegal activities.

The reason this continues to be a problem on this board, as someone mentioned, is that he continues to rip people off. Stealing, misrepresenting. He could have the most wondrous line of hets and visible morphs on the planet, but if he shows that he has no knowledge of integrity, then there is a problem. By his own logic, it is GOOD BUSINESS SENSE to sell normals as hets... he makes more money. Whether or not he does this HE has left the impression that his morals are consistant with someone who WOULD sell the normals as hets. HE has painted the picture strongly of being one who has no sense of right and wrong. For this reason I will NEVER go to reptibid, because I would not be sure I was buying from someone honorable. I will just have to do it the way I've always done it.... gone with those with a good rep here.

 

[Herpcorner]

Hi everyone,

I'm here because I want a closing on this matter, it go far enough. I'm sorry to see where things are gone. I don't blame my wife/newer did/just try to explain how things happened.
I was responsible for posting, she just wanted to help. I will take things slowly and handle all postings now on.
I made some mistakes with the "unique" bidding system we set up. I understand your point now, being unethical, but I newer used that way. Try to make the online bidding system more available for people without computer excess. I see now how it seems/not to pretty/
but newer being used to get more money out from peoples pocket. Sorry Chris, I outbid you, but someone wanted to buy that snake and put a deposit on it, then changed his mind. You e-mailed me to buy him if the other guy not coming thru. Remember my answer "i will let you know" When the deal went sour I e-mailed you again, but my wife put him back on the auction. Once again I'm not blaming her just try to tell the facts. Thank you for bringing up my bidding history, if you look et them closer will see there is no price jacking pattern I put a bid on when a walk in customer had an offer otherwise I left the thing alone. Other things was bought by a walk in and newer get back to bidding. What I did was wrong but the intention was good. This method widely used on E-bay lots of shop owner making deals this way. Actually not possible to push the price higher without knowing the online bidders proxy limits. Think about it ... without know how high the other person go I would screw good deals. I had one customer who put a proxy bid on my snake called me and told me how badly he wants that snakes and the limit he put on. I never used it against him actually I canceled the walk in customers bid/$50 higher then the winning bid/and the auction ended $200 under his proxy limit. I also purchased a nice Brazilian Amarali from myself/Seller Marlboro Buyer Herpcorner/my buddy posted in the pet shop, and I was bidding on it with the rest of people. I didn't just walked there to pick her up. I take the rules seriously. Maybe you guys can look it up it is worth to post things on my side too. If I try to do anything illegal, I would cover my tracks much better.
Actually I think the posting go far enough and I'm here try to reach a closing.
1. I'm sorry to offend anybody with my business practices. Will not do it again. I'm ready to take full responsibility for my actions.
2. If any of my buyers think they paid more for the animals because my business practices, please contact me. I'm ready to take back the animals for full refund.
3. I didn't want to post here because I find this board to harsh and one sided in the past several years. I hate to see the REPTILE COMMUNITY fighting over/many time/minor issues and the same time some people getting a way with murder her.
4. Now we have more reason then ever to reunite. I'm thinking about shipping rights, and the very right to keeping reptiles.
5. I will be there for my customers for years to come. I understand working with hetero animals is a long term responsibility and I take this very seriously.
Pleas stop using my Q&A as a community board. If you have issues with me then contact me and please leave my customers alone. I tried to keep them to join in this argument on my side.

Thanks for your time,
Sincerely,
Andrew Kosdi

I was almost ready to let it go

Drew

This is what you wrote Sasheena days ago:

And another of your statements:

Actually not possible to push the price higher without knowing the online bidders proxy limits. Think about it ... without know how high the other person go I would screw good deals.

Drew,

You are not supposed to know your buyer's limit , that's the way auctions work. You are not supposed to manipulate the bidding, that's the way auctions work. Period. Put a reserve price and forget about the auction. Your reserve price is the minimum you want for that animal.
If there was bidding (legal) above and beyond your reserve price great. Today again yourself, Maria, Attila or whomever use the Marlboro account and Sunshinereptiles before placed bids on the other ETB you had for sale.


This is the bidding activity on your items as of today Saturday March 27:

First ETB(Bidders name: Sunshinereptiles) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 20, 07:43 AM) - (Amount of bid: $200.00)
(Bidders name: Mule) - (Bid Time: Sun Mar 21, 09:29 PM) - (Amount of bid: $210.00)

(Bidders name: Christy) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 27, 12:52 AM) - (Amount of bid: $310.00)

3. I didn't want to post here because I find this board to harsh and one sided in the past several years. I hate to see the REPTILE COMMUNITY fighting over/many time/minor issues and the same time some people getting a way with murder her.

Of course it is one sided. It will not take the side of those who want to break the law. Do you consider minor issues federal offenses, misrepresentation, and copyright infringement? Murder? What are you talking about????

I'm not going to address the rest of your letter. Several days ago you sent e-mails to some people stating you were going to change. From the way you talk it is obvious you don't feel you are wrong and no one understands your "business" approach. You have not changed one bit as demonstrated by today's bidding activity. Keep it up and I'm sorry but I disagree with what you said. You are not in this for the long run.

 

[Herpcorner]

this is the copy of the letter to Christy I sent earlier today:
Hi, Christy

I paid out my friend so I own these beauties. If you want them that is fine with me. If you change your mind and don't want to purchase them it's no problem et all, no bad feedback.
I would love to keep them find the nice male and try to breed the group in this upcoming season.

Drew,

That was very thoughtful of you. Would you mind asking Christy to post the e-mail exchange between both of you in the BOI? Christy has no feedback whasoever in Reptibid. She never had an animal for sale nor did she posted one single bid on an animal until today. All of a sudden she starts bidding at 12:51 AM like there is no tomorrow, and wouldn't you know it, of the countless animals for sale on the site she decides to bid at the same time on the four animals you have for sale.

Cb 01 female high white Emerald Tree Boa 8 $310.00 1 Day 0 Hrs+
Cb 01 female high white Emerald Tree Boa #2 5 $310.00 5 Days 0 Hrs+
Irian Jaya Carpet Python female 14 $105.00 23 Hrs 20 Min+
Irian Jaya Carpet Python 03 baby 3 $60.00 2 Days 1 Hrs+

Please ask Christy to post her e-mail exchange so we can settle this once and for all.

Thanks.

 

[RTBoas]

??????????????????

Drew, actions speak louder then words. If your going to still bid on your animals, that just plain wrong.

Drew, I understand you want to make money but if your going to continue doing the wrong thing then we the people have a Responsibility to inform the not so informed. Everyone don't know about this site I persume.

Regardless Drew just start doing the right thing!!!!!

 

[HerpVenue]

hhhmmmm Three stores huh?
Walk in customers huh?

I wonder if these stores really do exist.

What are the names of your three stores.
I will look them up in the yellow pages.
I will also do a search for a business license.



But I know you won't reply.
Because I know you do not have a store.
See ya.

And good luck selling your animals.
Because you should be banned soon

Hi, Christy

So you put your snakes up on auction.
Some girl bids on it.
Then you tell her it is really yours?
Then you tell her you want to keep it?

First if it is really yours.....don't you think she can figure that out? Specially since it is YOUR auction...which means it is YOUR snakes.

And if you wanted to keep it.....why put it up on auction?
Looks Like your buddy marlboro......oh I mean you..... are placing proxy bids.



Anyway you say you only place a bid when walkin customers make an offer.

You have three pet stores. Can you name at least one?

 

[cahrens]

Reptile stores??

Drew,
I'd love to come check out your stores and put this issue to rest. I'm always looking for more places that sell snakes and such. Please post the addresses and hours that each is open or you can e-mail the info to me directly. We could also put a lot of the genetics questions to rest if I could see the parents to the kids you are selling. If you have all of what you say you have it should be quite enjoyable to see your collection. Please let me know. -Chris [email protected]

 

[The BoidSmith]

Drew,

Could you post the e-mail exchange that took place between you and Christy.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from “Christy”. The message is below. Apparently she never replied to Drew in spite of his nice gesture. I still have difficulties understanding what she was trying to say.

I am a good person turned bad. How am I bad? I have now stooped to the
levels of the bad guys. I now have many screen names. ANYTHING to stop
them from scamming people. A little note: I am too broke to buy any
animals
I know what I am doing is bad.
But I am a bad guy working against the bad guys. Does that mean I am good?
Anyway enough writing before you recognize me.

It is surprising that Christy all of a sudden decides to start bidding for the first time in her life on Saturday at approximately 12:50 AM, and not on any animal in Reptibid, but on Drew’s four snakes. Something does not add up.

As for the bidding activity.

Why would a person bid repeatedly on his own animal? Below is one of Herpcorner’s (Drew) animals. Sunshinereptiles (his partner) starts the bid, then Marlboro (Drew, Maria or Attila) continues to bid, then Chirsty outbids them. There is no bids following-up and Christy is now the highest bidder in all animals.

For the sign of “hot” to appear in Reptibid one has to have at least 5 bids on an item. That shows high bidding activity and interest in the animal. Christy's bid was the fifth one on the ETB below.

(Bidders name: Sunshinereptiles) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 20, 07:45 AM) - (Amount of bid: $200.00)
(Bidders name: Marlboro) - (Bid Time: Sun Mar 21, 09:50 PM) - (Amount of bid: $210.00)
(Bidders name: Christy) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 27, 12:52 AM) - (Amount of bid: $220.00) beaten by a proxy bid

(Bidders name: Marlboro) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 27, 12:52 AM) - (Amount of bid: $300.00) beaten by a proxy bid

(Bidders name: Christy) - (Bid Time: Sat Mar 27, 12:52 AM) - (Amount of bid: $310.00)

All Drew's snakes have now the “hot” icon displayed showing high bidding activity. Of course no one wants to inflate the price on his own animals too much because the price will scare away potential “customers”. The price has to go up just enough to show unusual bidding activity (“hot” item icon) plus a decent base price for the animal.

Maybe this thread belongs in the business discussion section

Thanks.

Christy?

Anyway enough writing before you recognize me

The way I'm reading this is "Christy" is an alias created on Reptibid for the purpose of bidding on all of Drew's items to spite Drew and/or sabotage all his auctions.

I am a bad guy working against the bad guys. Does that mean I am good?

No. It doesn't mean you are good. In my OPINION you are worse than someone who bids on their own auctions. Bidding on your own auctions to raise the price is bad, however. the other buyer(s) always have the choice to stop bidding if the price goes higher than they are willing to pay. Also anonymity is for cowards. Don't do something you won't stand up and say you did. There has been enough posted here to let someone make their own decision as to whether or not to buy something from Drew. You don't need to make that decision for them. -Chris

The way I'm reading this is "Christy" is an alias created on Reptibid for the purpose of bidding on all of Drew's items to spite Drew and/or sabotage all his auctions.

If someone did that on purpose he/she has taken this to even a lower level.

Regards.

I see you guys' points.

But as for me.
I can't blame her/him/it one way or another.
It is obvious reptibid does not care about the scammers using their system.
well at least she is doing something about it.
I hope she continues until he changes his ways.


So from now on.....if anyone e-mails me to ask how reptibid is.

I guess I will have to tell them the truth.



Meanwhile I would still like to know if the non existant business is really there.
I bet my left basketballs that drew does not have three petstores
