Cragislist deals - Any good ones in this list?

[Spoons]

I'm not one to know much about BP morphs other than some are really expensive and some are not. There is this craigslist ad near me. wondering if any of those are worth asking for pictures of for the $30 fee? I mean obviously for $30 they likely aren't amazing examples of their morphs, but... I dunno. Thoughts?

WoW, fire sale. Or hot snakes!

Normals are easily worth 30 all day long.

As long as they are healthy with no issues, how can you go wrong?

Better go find one you like before the good/purdy ones are gone!

An orange dream for $30? and a female Jigsaw?

Have you ever heard the phrase "if it is too good to be true it probably isn't" ?

Avoid!!

There are plenty of good, reliable and honest people out there to help you get started.

I am not looking to breed, for any kind of reference. But there are some kick ass morphs out there that I'd snap up now if any of them were once in a life time prices.

Good point, Dr. Del... It does seem like someone who is getting out of the hobby and just wants the snakes gone, possibly, no?

I may email, at least - can't hurt, I suppose. I guess I dont' know enough about snakes to know when it seems scammy or not! (that's why I have all of you to help me!)

[Reinz]

That's why I said fire sale.

You never know. Maybe this guy/gal has to come up with quick cash, or be on the fly quick.

Maybe Guido says it time to pay up or move out!

I use a secondary email for stuff like this. I think a exploratory email cant hurt. If they reply they are going on a mission trip and want a money order then you know its a scam.

Maybe they really are in a tight spot and you can get a great deal. Just be smart with it.

[Spoons]

Definitely. I sent an email and used Craigslist's web link, which will give them jumbled CL email address instead of my real one (which is a secondary account as is). Asked why the snakes are being sold so low, and asked for a few pictures of the Jigsaw, Orange Dream and Pinstripes. I suppose I'll see if I get anything back. Will update for sure.

did a tineye and a google image search and the photo wasnt used anywhere else. so he is in possession of the snakes atleast.

First impression looks like stolen snakes but being advertised by someone that at least has an inkling to the hobby, but the morph list looks like someone working on their own projects.

If your exploratory email leads to being able to see how they're being kept you then would know for sure.

If it turns out to be a hobbyist that's hard up I'd have a hard time paying 30 bucks for some of those snakes though... there's taking advantage of a good deal but then again there's like... damn i dont feel good about myself

Spoons: definitely post what happens. I'm interested to see how legit this is. I'm nowhere near Minneapolis but for that price I may have to try to figure something out.
