Yup, live and learn. I was looking for a certian type of very rare bird, and ran into almlst the exact same thing. Found an ad that was too good to be true, and it was only a few miles from an area I was going to be in anyway. Things went screwy when I told them I would be bringing cash and picking up in person. Suddenly their location went from Chicago to, yup, Utah, and they wanted to ship. So I told them in the interest of the birds health and my own piece of mind I would fly out and rent a car for the trip back. It ended with me reporting them to the website that had the ad and me not losing anything but the time for a few emails.
