It doesn't just fit my arguments. It's there for everyone to see in your tirade about how the legal bills would end up getting the kid quite a few slaps from his parents.
I discovered he was a child. I didn't know he was a child. I had no further interactions with him after learning that he was a child. I told the little lying scamming scumbag to piss off and we were done.
And yes, it was about the turtles at the time which I had lined up for a customer. I won them and I needed them to fill an order. It was also about being lied to. I was angry and I got a little angrier when I vented and a fellow poster sort of mocked me. Had she not, I may not have responded that way.
Action reaction.
You don't know that you were lied to.
It is quite possible they were stolen.
It was also an illegal business transaction if I'm not mistaken - I believe it is illegal to sell WC box turtles in Pennsylvania. It is both the buyers and sellers responsibility to verify the legality of the deal. That's why I can't send Cal Kings to Oregon or Colorado - I checked the laws and saw that they are not legal to keep in those states (without a hard to get permit).
If you had buyers lined up for a product you did not have in hand, that's a business risk you took. Take risks to flip what you don't have for a profit and sometimes you get burned.
