Another Craigslist ....

[ajfreptiles]

Craigslist is a cool place...I have only struggled a bit with the flaggers who want to control everyone....I still can't figure out why some of mine get flagged...lol...

I can understand this guy is just offering some very high end trades....now that does not mean he is legit, only that I can see someone trading a $5,000. Motley for a $5,000. boat....

Someone may have a piece of land they want to get rid of too...you just never know.

I'm just curious how people that think he's a scammer think he's gonna pull this off.

I did not mention scam, my point is simply what kind of breeder would put snakes of such value on craigslist?

Personally no one I would care to do any business with!

If craigslist was the place where reputable breeders were I think it would be known by now!

One of those snakes looks like it's carved out of wood.

Where else would you suggest this guy go when fishing for a sucker? If someone wants to trade a boat for a snake, so be it. I'm not sure why you have such a problem with it, he's just trying a different approach to selling his snakes, and it might work. You can't catch a sucker if you don't cast your line.


Here is my prediction on what is going to happen here. The internet police here a bp.net are going to find out exactly what he has for sale, then they are going to compare prices with Johnny come lately on Kingsnake. They are going to tally it up, and if it down't amount $250,000 exactly, the interent police are going to be all over his behind for lying in his add.

I may be new to posting on this site, but I am obviously not new to how internet forums work.

Rather harsh judgement of this site don't you think?

Craigslist only allows "adoption fees" for animals, it was never intended to be a marketplace to sell animals, and it's against their TOS to sell animals there.

I really don't care what he does, personally.

That is the second time in this post that you mention "the BP.net internet police" whoever or whatever that means, I think you are mistaking this forum for another one

I agree with you, although I do wish craigslist had a place to sell animals online, as i'd say 75% of people who "adopt" animals on craigslist are really trying to sell the animals, and I'd rather them be upfront then say. I have a 1 year old female ball python I'm trying to adopt out.

Then I e-mail and get oh well I'll only sell her with her 20 long, water bowl, clamp lamp and light bulb, oh how much? 350 :-p

I went back just to check and low and behold, I didn't start this thread. I did however point out that the "cliques"(spelled right this time) would come after me, the person who was defending someone who was not here to defend themselves. Told yah I know forums.


Now let me get to Craigslist, I'm gonna see if someone will trade me a canoe for a poss het albino. I want to go fishing this weekend.
