I've come across a lot of opinions lately on where the hobby is going sales-wise online and was curious to get a general idea of everyone's preferences when buying from a breeder online. I've seen opinions that forums, ks, fauna, and websites are dying due to a move to FB, but I've also read that many herpers are against the move to FB (for buying). What I'd like to do with this poll is get a little input from everyone on which methods you prefer to buy using (not necessarily what is most common).

I'm going to allow multiple choices for the poll, but please select only your top two preferences.

As always, thanks for your time and input. Feel free to discus this topic if you'd like as well.

For myself, I prefer to buy from a dedicated breeder's site (provided they keep it up to date and there's ease of communication and transaction) and from forum classifieds (i.e. our classifieds section here on BP.net). I like to know that people I'm buying from are professional and / or have a good reputation in the community. Seeing a person post on a forum, to me, demonstrates their knowledge base and makes buying from them more appealing.
