Spiderballs.net.....ROB.....Untrust Worthy

[snakebstr]

Here is why I am posting this about him. I usually don't start stuff on the BOI but I feel that people need to know YOU CANNOT TRUST the "future in reptiles" spiderballs.net. Well I was contacted a few weeks ago via IM from ROB and he was wanting to work a trade for some stuff I had(guitar,amp,4-12cab and maybe some snakes) after talking with him on several IM's that I have printed out, We decided I was going to South Carolina and so was HE, So we would meet at the show to do the trade , well to make a long story short ROB never showed or contacted me. I called him several times to see if he was on his way or what the deal was. Never did here from him and still have not. I just don't think that someone that is supposed to be THE FUTURE in REPTILE should conduct business in this fashion. I lugged a guitar(EVH wolfgang 2300.00) and 4-12 cab and head (1500.00+) from friday-sunday for no reason at all, risking damage or even theft because he cannot keep his WORD, I think that is pretty crappy, Thanks A LOT ROB from Spiderballs.net. Thanks David

Rob...

I have never done business with rob but we have both talked about purchasing each others animals. I know a few very happy customers of his. Rob does run his own successful form. He seems like a stand up guy. I would have no problem doing business with him. I do not know the details in which your trade deal Consisted of.

 

[snakebstr]

The deal was we were supposed to meet up in Greenville, SC and trade and it was a definate trade concerning the wolfgang guitar and the 5150ii EVH head and Cab for a few female pastels. It was a done deal is what ROB said but he never showed. I toted this stuff 6 hours from alabama to South Carolina for nothing I would have never brought the guitar and amp with me if we didn't have a deal. It was a lot of trouble to carry all of that stuff for nothin and not to say the temp and humidity that can mess guitars and amps up. If I didn't think he was a MAN of his word I would have never put these Items through the changes from my home for no reason. I am just saying ROB/SPIDERBALLS.NET cannot be TRUSTED AT HIS WORD. IF you tell someone you are gonna meet the to do a deal then you better be at that meeting, but I guess people are only as good as their word and his SUCKS. Because HE told me on several IM's that he didn't have a table but he would be at the show, I told him NO PROBLEM because I didn't want to carry the guitar and amp for nothing. I just think he Suck. See Ya DAVID

 

[PristinePythons]

well...

I do see where your comming from!

 

[David Reid]

I know Rob personally...

and he is a great guy. I also know that he has had computer problems recently due to several viruses. So, if you want great looking Ball Pythons, Boas, Dwarf Retics, or high end Geckos, I would order from him without hesitation. I have personally seen several Ball Pythons and Retics of his, all in perfect shape, and flawless as far as I could tell.

I really hope something didn't happen on his end that just might have taken priority over the "trade".

Let's hope it was nothing too serious....

I guess what I'd like to stress here is, people seem to take things for granted anymore.

We "plan" things for tomorrow, next week, next year....taking for granted we'll be able to do so. God only knows what lies ahead for us each and every day. All I'm saying is, "maybe" just maybe something really important, beyond his control came up...it's just a thought.

No matter how many "BEARDED PETS" there are in the world I still try to stay positive

Peace

LOL @ NOT TRUSTWORTHY

Rob has had plenty of chances to screw me over. I've done advertisements, web sites, logos, graphic work, etc etc etc..... for him. He tells me he's going to pay me this....and he does. He's always paid me what he said he was going to pay me or even more. He is a great guy to work for and trade and buy from.

I've gotten plenty of animals from Rob and all were as expected, healthy, and on time.

I would not hesitate to do business with him....especially this upcoming year....I want a butter.

 

[snakebstr]

Well I never said anything bad about his animals, Hell I Never got to see him....LOL...he didn't show up. I guess the thing that bothers me is he has still not contacted me about our trade. Troy I understand things can happen but like I said I called the number he has on his website not once but atleast 6 times over the weekend, and left messages with a return number(cell phone) but still nothing and here it is monday night and nothin. Not even a sorry or anything. If this is the future in reptiles maybe that is why most of the shows are going to crap. But like I said I AM not knocking his animals I have not seen them, I am just the type of person that when you tell someone something you follow through with it. Your only as good as your word. see ya

 

[Thomas Jones]

I have done business with Rob as well. Great guy. I have also seen his animals. Top notch. I see no reason to buy from anyone else. I got plans to get some boas,dwarf albinos and of course more Bp's. Once i pick up the mojave it was much better than i thought. Not to mention the females I got from him they pounded rats the very next day.
I also know of his computer problems as well as him being under the weather. I was at his place on 10/25 he was not doing well.
Do not hesitate to do business with Rob at spiderballs.net and also check out the great web site and forums designed by four1seven designs.

A BOI thread over a renig deal may be overkill David. Hell, I back out of deals too. Welcome to the world of snakes, where 70% of deals fall through due to deadbeat buyers or multiple other reasons.

I've backed out due to no pics, a STUPID 3% paypal fee that was added AFTER the deal was set, and even because I found a different animal. In the last case, I gladly agreed to let the buyer keep $200 of my deposit for me wasting his time.

 

[Thomas Jones]

Yeah i went threw different deals with several breeders. Changed my mine on some with Rob as well. Peoples minds do change and things do happen.

 

[repfriend]

I think this thread does have credibility

There is always the FIRST bad deal, and just because the seller, or trade partner in this case, has a otherwise good reputation, doesn' t mean that someone doesn't have the right to voice their dissatisfaction.

This IS a reptile related deal, there was a trade initiated...some items in exchange for reptiles.

Instead of shipping, they decided to meet somewhere, which has its good points (no shipping needed) and its bad points (actually have to drive there, take your goods/animals with you, etc)

If there had been a trade and one of the guys didn't ship the items/animals, it would have been BAD as well.

I think its VERY VERY unprofessional for one of the trade partner not to show up, not to even call and cancel, and on top of that, to ignore the phone throughout and afterwards.

It just stinks. Its a bad deal, no matter how good the guy has been before.

It was a bad deal and a lot of inconvinience for the original poster, and he has every right to post about it.

IMHO

 

[dzoo]

Backing out of a deal or changing your mind is all fine as long as YOU LET THE OTHER PARTY KNOW - which apparently Rob did not do so the oter guy drags his guitar and other stuff for a "no call, no show" not very proffesional IMHO. His animals might be great but his customer service, in this instance at least, were not - if we are getting the correct story.

 

[snakebstr]

Here we go again AL, You seem to always find yourself defending others who are wrong.....OVERKILL......Ha ha ha......What I think is Overkill is posting scamming ADS about people who post a price that the YOU or Someone else thinks is to high...that is overkill, just because me or someone else thinks the snake they have is worth 1250.00 or someother amount does NOT mean they are CROOKs. ROB clearly told me no matter what bring the guitar and amp, If he would have said before I loaded everything up deals off then fine I would have not waisted MY TIME loading the stuff up and it would have been no biggie, but for him to not even send a e-mail or return my calls...let me guess...he was also right in doing that. So AL what you are saying is that if you made a deal with someone of ROBs caliber and packed up 75-100lbs of stuff and drove 6 hours to meet him and he didn't show, YOU wouldn't BE MAD???. Yeah I was gonna be in Greenville anyway but still it is the POINT of risking unnecessary damage or even theft to the Equipment, and this is high dollar stuff guitar list 2300.00 and 5150 had and cab list 1500.00+. I am just disappointed because I thought ROB was a STAND UP guy, I guess even the best fool us from time to time. I guess I'm out of here for now. see ya DAVID

Did any stuff get damaged or stolen?

 

[snakebstr]

What in the hell does it matter if any of the stuff got damaged or stolen, NO it didn't and if it would have I would hold ROB at Spiderballs.net totally responsible. Sence it was his deal to meet in Greenville SC. Remember he first contacted me, that is what makes this so wrong. Also I still have not heard anything from ROB. POOR business person in my opinion. In my opinion the fact that he has not contacted me after I left him messages on HIS phone 919-727-3174 at least 6 times with a way to contact me......He don't check them??? that is bull and we all know it. But oh well he just showed me what he is all about. You all call and see how long it takes you to get a responce. see ya

WOW everyone hop on your phones and call the wrong number and see how long it takes to reach ROB!!!!

Taken straight from his webpage -

Phone - (919)-272 -3174

btw, it does matter if something was stolen or broken, because there are a lot of "what ifs" in this world and that is one of them, and you're prancing around acting like they were damaged or stolen.

OK..OK

Not that I need to or care to but I am going to give my side of this once. Let me first start by saying I think this site is worthless and is more a pain that anything else. I know your going to say well thats because I am getting bad stuff said about me. NOT TRUE. I dont need people like this Dave guy to say good or bad things about me. My record speaks for itself. I have gone above and beyond to make my customers happy. I show them the respect that they deserve and give them the quality that I would want if it was my money for a new animal. With that said I will say that I WAS at that show and I did go to this guys table. But after hearing some of the CRAP coming out of his mouth to potential customers I decided to not even make myself known to him. I am not going into details and not gonna make this any more than it already is. No i wont repeat what it was and when it was said but I will say that I was there and I was the guy with the shredded ralph davis hat. David I am sure you or your woman will remember me. You both commented on my hat. Anyhow good luck in your ventures and I hope that you do well in your future endeavors. Me I will keep on trucking doing what I do. OH and one more thing. For the record, I myself tried to contact you regarding the trade before I left and got no reply. I asked you repeatedly for a contact number to reach you and not once was it given. I was out in the the dark as to what we were actually going to trade for the stuff as we have been back and forth a few times over a few differant animals. With that said You have a great day.And to all my customers Thanks for the Business and you know I will take care of you.

P.S. Thats not my phone number either.
