This guy is also using a personal profile on facebook to represent a business/organization which is clearly against facebook TOS.
I have taken the liberty of reporting it to facebook.

I would start the BOI thread now. The way I see it, he failed to follow through with his commitment and even if he goes through it now it's bad business. Just this thread here has probably turned a number of people off on him because of the way he does business. Why not warn more people?

Well, I kept my word and didn't post it until this evening: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=398158

If this guy thinks he can get away with ripping you off by keeping his sales local you can cost him a lot without going to court. Find any facebook groups, discussion forums, etc. for snake/herp topics local to Massachusetts and post the BOI link on them as well if you don't get this resolved in the next few days. Heck, post it on his own danged facebook wall so his friends see it, or if you and he have mutual friends then send it to them.

Yes, he can remove your post from his wall and block you, but if one of my fellow local herpers were screwing around like this I'd give him a personal :fishslap:.

I really hope this all gets sorted out.

It sucks that this kind of behavior is going to hurt those of us who are new to the selling scene. Like MrLang, I currently have one snake on the market and hopefully a couple of clutches to follow. I've never sold anything and have no feedback so it's this kind of behavior that makes people hesitant to purchase from unknown buyers. It's a shame people can't just be honest and do business with class and respect.

Any movement on this?

On the fauna thread he said he got an email from the man's mother, assuring him he would get the animal agreed to in the trade.

It still sounds suspicious to me... he made zero communications in the last week and then his mother responds?? Why doesn't he just pick up the phone.

I don't get it. :(

I've been lurking this thread, and I agree. X2 on the mother responding, sounds fishy...

Yeah, I received one email from the guy's mom, then nothing. I've replied to her several times, called her (her number wasn't difficult to locate) asking for her to call me back so we can talk about it... I really do think I'm going to have to call the cops.

Says he's in the process of opening a business...


gets scared at the idea that laws have been broken...


mom calls.


You got duped by a teenager bro
