Smile Fiberglass vivs

I feel so sorry for all the people who have been ripped off by this two-legged RAT,including my nephew who lost £130.Dont worry Chris you will get whats coming to you.
After speaking to a friend of mine who has been involved in the fiberglass industry for 15 years (he does a lot of the blackpool pleasure beach work)and having worked with him in the past (making the exterior panels of the building the infusion ride leaves from) i have decided to start making fiberglass vivs etc early next year.I certainly wont be running my business the way Mr Scumbag Eagleton has,all vivs etc will require a 10% deposit the balance upon completion.I will be taking orders late january once i have everything set up different size moulds etc.
Good luck to everyone involved,thanks Stuart.

Then when he wouldn't sent me a 2 ft vivarium to see the quality of and to ensure that he was actually making them without payment, despite being a potential financier alarm bells started ringing.
Then I see the link with his previous disastrous attempts at business and scamming people and decide he is a no no.
The digital dimmer he is referring to he asked me (Habistat) to make for him.
It is looking increasingly likely that he is just dragging the inevitable out for as long as he can.
Good luck to everyone who is owed money from this guy.
Hi Peter, it was interesting to hear your views on the situation. You are probably one of the most experienced traders still around in the herpetological business and it is unthinkable that he tried to involve you and your well established company in his games. Thank you for coming onto this thread and sharing your views. As you are well aware Eagleton has taken a considerable amount of money from many individuals, hopefully the police will take notice of his recent attempts to set up further companies instead of completing the outstanding orders already well overdue.I can remember the days when reptile keeping and its suppliers were a few individuals and everybody knew each other, we regarded ourselves as a community, nobody would dream of ripping off and scamming somebody else. Times change

Hi Barry,
Long time no see, I hope you are well.
He didn't really try to involve me, but I initially thought the product looked good. I could see that it was too cheaply priced to be able to make any profit and (very early on) thought that Chris may have been honest and capable but just without the resources and business know how to make it work.
It didn't take long to realise I was wrong about everything and this coincided with the posts about his previous "attempts" at business where he had scammed other people.
When I announced a new digital dimming Habistat had been designed and was being tested he actually posted on the same thread that he also had one and was about to launch it that weekend. Some Months later I challenged him about where it was and received no reply.
It is a shame that reptile keepers are being subject to scams and dishonest sellers and 25 Years ago it would not have happened as everyone knew who everyone else was.
I guess like any market place that has become a big industry, it now attracts con men out to make a quick buck at the cost of others.
I am still a hobbyists at heart, still spend my weekends "mucking out" animals and I wouldn't want that to be any different.
