Boy, do I feel used

I was contacted recently by a person who wanted to buy one of my pieds. Said he was just starting out, trying to build his collection, absolutely loved a certain pied I had pictured, would be a big part of his collection if he could get it but he couldn't afford the retail price I was asking. After talking with him a few times, he offered a reduced price and I agreed based on his circumstances and the potential that he would return in the future as a satisfied customer.

I shipped yesterday for arrival today. Not more than 1 hour after he picked up the pied from FedEx he had it listed on Kingsnake as a "Gorgeous '07 Female Pied" for hundreds more than he paid.

I know its business and I agreed to the sale, but boy do I feel used. Right now I feel like I should never give anyone a break in the future based on their "story". . .

What an a hole!!! Is it somebody you've seen on kingsnake before?

That's terrible. :mad: I guess it goes to show that there are just as many bad buyers out there as bad sellers. Thanks for relaying the story, though. I'll definitely steer clear of this person if I ever see one of his ads.

Oh you best believe miss Ansli A Pemberton would find a way to let people know about that. That is completely and 100% unacceptable. No matter if he paid the agreed price, you lowered your inital estimate because of a LIE to earn him profit.

it burns me up that people do that crap and inturn hurt the real people who might need a deal later on.

Prehaps you could post a Sellers Beware on the BOI? i'm sure they'd love that. :P

Oh Alice, that sucks! I am so sorry that happened to you!

Amazing what people would do :mad: .

Alice remember you were just trying to put someone's dream bp into their collection. Con artist will alway's get what's coming to them.

You went out of your way to cut someone some slack, and it turns around to bite you in the butt. I'm so sorry Alice. Karma will hopefully return and smack them upside the head ten fold!

Alice, that's beyond disgusting to take advantage of you like that. You do this person a favor from the goodness of your heart, a favor mind you that cost you money and this is the thanks you get! I'd certainly do a BOI thread if you have the documentation and want to expose this idiot for the flipper and liar he so obviously is! Sure you can sell any snake you own but seriously, this is just awful. :mad:
