I would agree with you on that. Most people that get into animals in the first place would have some kind of connection with them I would think. It's not really the best way to make money. Still, I do appreciate the BOI for those few that are in it for the wrong reasons or eventually turn out that way. Normally I wouldn't hesitate quite as much on a purchase with someone that doesn't have any good guy posts. I'm all for giving someone new a chance. But in this case, since it is such a subtle morph and mistakes DO happen commonly, I'd like to know for sure that this animal is what I'm paying for or at least know that if it turns out otherwise... the seller would fix it once a problem is known. There are pros and cons to the BOI but I have to admit that I'm glad there is a place I can go to at least lessen my chances of getting ripped off.
