I have also had good experiences with people that had no trader rating or BOI information. I felt comfortable with the deal and the person and that is what made me decide to go through with it.
One person in particular really stood out. I bought a male pewter from him and we still keep in contact and exchange pictures and advice. Building bonds with other small time keepers is really great and I encourage people to purchase from smaller breeders to help build their reputation!
Most of us are here for the same reason: We love reptiles! Those who are in it for the money are usually easy to spot.
