Reptile Auctions

Yes or no? I know to stay away from ballbids but are there any that are good or come recommended or should they not be considered at all?

If you know a breeder. And they have a Facebook. Some of them have auctions on their Facebook.

Ben Siegel Reptiles has pretty cool auctions on his Facebook page every day.

I don't buy snakes from anyone's auction, but that's just me, I'm very picky about who I buy from and what I buy, auctions rarely ever have the quality of snake I'm looking for.
Nothing against them otherwise...

Yeah I have never considered it before but I am more looking for possibly a new pet. It would have to be one nice lookin ball, blood, or boa to get me to buy from an auction. I was just wondering if anybody had first hand experience and whether it was good or bad. But I am also very picky about the snakes I purchase...

It depends on how its run. If reputation is established, and people and bidders are held accountable then it's safe a good. The BOI on fauna plays a big role in it. I, in fact, helped a woman from being scammed because of a bidder with an established history of being a scammer and fraudulent.

x2 i agree with this^

I see BSR's facebook auction everyday. Im not saying the that all the animals he auctions off are crappy, but at the same time ive never once found one that i liked enough to bid on... Maybe im just too picky though :rolleyes:
