REPTlLE RlNG ??? legit?

Just seen this new website. Is it for real? Seems crazy low prices. Is this the future of the reptile hobby? Anyone made any purchase through here yet?

Yep its real. Ebay for Reptiles. It was originally called ReptileBay. And hopefully not the future of the hobby...

Its Mike Wilbanks' brainchild so its legit. It hasnt been out for long. Personally id stick to Mike's auctions for now though, other people haven't been posting auctions long enough for me to trust it.

I think it's stupid. Imo it's ok to do an auction every once in awhile to draw some attention to yourself or to raise money for something specific, but now everyone and their brother are doing auctions. It's ridiculous.

Reptile Ring is awesome! I just bought a pastel female there for $80!!

If I'm looking to buy something, I prefer to buy it right-out, not vie with others for the top dollar. For everything, not just for animals.

Just checked it out. There is some cool stuff on there. Really digging the tiger anthrax lol

Yea, exactly, and In a lot of cases they lower the value of the gene too.

Bingo! That was the first thing I thought.

I hope its not the future. I looked around the website and found out it cost $200 to be able to join and list auctions. Add that to the fact they'll probably be going for lower prices than normal (because every one wants a deal, especially when it comes to auctions), the only people who would be able to afford it will be the big names with a big following. Any one just starting out our who is only in the hobby sector with a couple clutches a year would, I predict, ends up keeping many of their snakes unable to sell them, or sell at a loss, if this were to become the norm.
