Ball python bidding site. Round 2

ballbids on facebook
ballbids

Well the last version of this went down in flames before it ever got off the floor. Looks like some one is trying to do it again.

is it any good sry just wondering

It's still the same people.

I watched the bidding and read some of the info on shipping.

So if you win the shipping for live animals is a flat rate of $35(pretty good). I wonder if it's worth it though, so strange.

same ppl , the site has been running for awhile so has their facebook

This sums it up liar, scammer, shady owner :gj: enjoy the read http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...light=ballbids

It's kinda like quibids... Where with every bid the time goes up a little

NO not the same thing, an auction being held by a REPUTABLE breeder CANNOT be compared to a penny auction site owned by a SHADY owner who does not produce any animal and who doesn't even have a clue on basic husbandry.

The auctions on facebook have been fair to my observations. Nobody can cheat or use a bot. The winner is based on Facebook's time stamp. Since it's on facebook, everyone participating gets an email every time someone bid. There are records on who won.

On Ballbids, it is known that the owner's have set up their own winners (their friends). They control the site. And when someone from outside their little circle won, the server was conveniently "glitched" and shut down after the finish of the auction. The auction was restarted at a later time regardless of the obvious winner.

Also you have to purchase bids on Ballbids in order to bid. Say 10 people bid twice for a pastel in the first minute of auctioning. Those 10 people paid a dollar to place those bids. Each bid is like 50cents. Every time a bid is placed, the clock restarts. Anyway, say there's a winner at $7. Ball bids makes $350( an example) off the auction for a pastel. The only people who wins is Ballbids and the winner of the auction. Everyone else lost money in the auction because they lost their paid bids. They don't return them to you. Its outright gambling.

At least on Facebook, nobody is scammed out of their money. The losing participants go home without losing anything. The winner pays for their animal(usually around going price anyway) and shipping, the end. It sounds fair to me. Just participating in online buying with a little extra fun.

Ballbids is NOTHING like NERD, BSR, and all those other REPUTABLE breeders that do auctions on Facebook.

On Facebook, you pay nothing unless you win, they actually own the animal, their husbandry is spot on, care for the animal is of the utmost importance. Everybody has a fair chance to win. ( I have actually participated in plenty of these, and won many times )

Ballbids is a scheming mess of "online auction". Only the owners friends win, you have to pay to even bid, snakes are not even owned by them, they could give a rats turd about the animals care and well-being, they are liars, thieves. I could keep going and going on with what is NOT right about that site, their Facebook and these people.

Sorry, I wasn't comparing it to NERD..

I would however buy a snake from NERD

I would not bid nor buy a snake from a site like bidball

or
Wait, you're not trying to say that when an auction ends on facebook that there is NOT some sort of hack, or server error, or glitch to the system are you? I mean those nice fellows over at ballbids seem to have nothing but hacks and errors and glitches...when they're pals don't win. What ever are you implying?

LOL

Is the BallBids thread stickied? Maybe it should be. This has come up a lot recently.
