Arrow Does anyone think to check? -

If anyone is selling or buying Please think to check the person who's interested old posts.

These will give some indication of how long they keep a single rep for and how often they have animals for sale in the classifieds.


I know some people somtime have to sell but a few people like to just sell on for profit or because they get sick of them.

- just a word of advice thats all

Hey i agree with ur post...

Only thing is Tho: If they are selling for profit then thats not cool.. but if they just cant be bothered with the animal is it not better that they sell to someone that does?

Totally agree tho.. check their posts and if they have had 6 snakes in one week and sold 6 out two weeks later then probably not the best.

Cheers

Yeah better to sell on - your right there.

I know a few people who have bought snakes on cheap then sold within a month

Or even worse, someone rehomed their animal with them for free because they thought the animal was going to a good home

Yeah, i just wanted to make people more aware of who they are selling too and to check history posts.

Not all people want the reptile for the right reasons, sadly

If I was seriously interested in buying something I'd look through the sellers posts and see what they are like, whether they buy/take in rescues and then sell them a week later, some people on here seem to change what reps their into as often as most people change their underwear. There is someone on here who amazes me, because I see no end of threads on here and other sites where they are trying to sell what they have, because they need space/money whatever, to then see them on another thread offering to rehome something.

Animals of any sort are not something you should chop and change, if your circumstances change then fair enough, but if you don't bother to research the animal before you buy then just to sell it on because you're bored with it is wrong.
