Default would you be happy

i bought these from advert below for £200

http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/food-...lony-sale.html

there were less than 200 adults and 50 of them were males , all rest were babies and never even covered bottom of a 50 ltr rub

and for £200 it looks like ive been scammed

is reply was i never said there were 2500 to 3500 adults , which i never said he did and if you put them in a wach tube theres 100s

for what i got i could of got for half the price at roach shop

Wow £200! I would not be a happy bunny if those numbers turned up for that money!

I sold the last of mine (9 adults (mostly preg females), 82 large nymphs, 407 small nymphs and 260 tiny nymphs) for a tenner.

Can't you get you get your money back? That's pretty disgusting to be honest.

I had a colony about as big as the one you received. I gave them away for nothing when I parted company with my lizards.

A couple of thousand I could appreciate you paying a lot of money for, but not a colony as small as that.

If it was a genuine mistake, the seller wont have a problem issuing a partial refund, probably the best part of £150.

No wonder their last post on the ad was a load of happy faces jumping for joy!

Sorry it's not worked out, I hope you manage to get a resolve.

Definately wouldnt be happy with so few, hardly a complete colony more like a slice of a colony, for £200 I would have wanted absolutely loads. Live and learn and all that but I bet you are fuming.
