Crackpots

[West Coast Jungle]

I could post stories all day of folks that wasted my time no matter how great of a deal was offered. With any type of sales it's a numbers game, lots of inquiries leads to a couple of sales, that's just the way it is. The reality is most folks who contact you really want a snake but they don't have the money so they want pics and ask questions. The ones who really have the money and want it are the bang bang sales, "you still have the reptile, yes, here is the $" done. I have had local folks tell me I'll meet you Tuesday at some location I definitely want it and come Tuesday the won't answer your confirmation calls.

I recently had a guy contact me several times on a Thurs and Friday and wanted to by a large group of adult snakes to ship Monday so I had to buy an insulated box big enough to fit them all in figuring he would paypal the $ over the weekend. Come Monday he wouldn't return my calls emails and texts and then I check his Facebook page and he has made several posts with some trying to sell my animals before he even got them to raise the $, lol. Then when I finally told him I sold a few to other folks that wanted them and sent payment he finally responded and was angry because I sold snakes from his order! I politely told him it's not an order until it's paid for.

Until the cash is in your hand it's just another inquiry, nothing more, nothing less. Welcome to sales
