Default Sellers... Does this p**s you off

I am getting sick of advertising snakes in the classified section and people asking if it comes with extra equipment for free.

Stuff like "I can buy your snake if you drop it to my house, and if you give me a tank to go with it."

Why cant people just read the post.

I call it Blue Peter Syndrome!

It usually goes like this "I could make one for less than that" and it applies to Vivariums, Backgrounds, water dishes, anything basically.
