<~~~~~~~ Just found out about the BOI 2 months ago lol

Ed was on my list of people that I'd like to meet because I want to put a face with all his B.S.
He's now made the "never do business with/avoid at all costs" list.
For having never dealt with him, he sure has rubbed me the wrong way with a few of his scumbag moves.
Watching time after time his rude remarks, childish tactics, and poor taste in dealing with others I can't understand how he is still allowed on this site and certainly can't understand for the life of me why people still choose to do business with him.
To me this is the where the underlying responsibility remains.
If you never disclose this information, then you feel detached from the health of the dragon. All you are concerned about is money. All problems with the dragons are passed up the food chain to make sure your not out of pocket on the deal.
I am not a fan of wholesale for these reasons.

Started telling him about problems with the dragons he was flipping for Rob D. in june shortly after I picked them up. it was not 4-5 months later as some are saying. he never came through with anything.
I never had the opportunity to pick most of them, I would be handed a box of cheap dragons. I never questioned it till I started seeing problems.

you would think that after so many bad guy threads the person they were about would get a temp ban or something like that. I mean Ed has a ton of bad guy threads on him most of which went unresolved yet he still posts animals (as his own instead of other peoples bloodlines) every day.

OHH and FYI Ed he said he would throw you some free b's when you make another purchase not okay ill ship you the dragons to replace the ones that died and the funny thing is i read that in one of your post good job Ed now both your feet has holes in them![]()


I know I would never replace a reptile of any kind after 4 months. Anything can happen in that time period.
Brian,
I totally understand where are coming from but I would imagine, as a website, as long as Ed adheres to the policies and rules of the site, Ed isnt breaking any rules to become banned. If the actual website was into policing their ads, I think it would be a different story all together. I, however, think that if they were to "police" the ads, the dealers, etc... Fauna would no longer exist.
The BOI gives the buyer the provisions to make a decision that is good for them. The best thing to do is make everyone that you know that deals with reptiles, aware that the BOI exists to protect them from bad sellers.
As far as Ed's business, the more people who know about the BOI, the more it will affect his bottom line. If it affects his bottom line, it will directly be a result of his customer service skills and/or his reputation.
Sorry Harald if I went a little off topic
It's not even just the amount of bad boi threads. It's his poor tactics, rude comments, and not to mention all the other crap.
Anyone ever read his post in his bearded dragon pictures thread that HE started.....where he posted a phenominal looking orange female, said something along the lines of wanting to color up the state of California because he sold her, or something like that? If you keep reading a page or two later, you come across pictures of the dragon again, with the color peeling right off of it.....not sure how many people put 2 + 2 together on that one.



I agree about the BOI. It needs to stay and this is the exact reason. Go to his thread dragon pictures on the dragon forum here, and go to I think pages 13/14. I didn't even realize at the time how Nicole deflected the attention and I went along with it(stupid me). I'm not sure if he can remove those posts, or threads, but the pics are there now.
Post #131 and #138 being the same dragon. I wouldn't be surprised if Ed knew that dragon was losing its color, if you look at her back right leg, it appears to have a drastic color change to it, like as if she had already "lost" some.
