Yup he's a moron

Given the amount of scammers on here lately, I'd be wary of buying expensive spiders (or any spiders really) from somebody with no feedback.

I know we all have to start somewhere, but most people just sell one or two from their private collections, rather than being "somebody who can get anything".

I haven't seen Haplopelma "Bach Ma" listed for sale anywhere, and the only Haplopelma hainanum I've seen is the one I bought at Kempton from Peter Grabowitz, which snuffed it 2 weeks later.

I've actually seen people selling Haplopelma sp. as Tiger Rumps in shops. Quite worrying really before for the unassuming owner and the spider itself.

Been terrible for scammers lately and its pretty sad as well. I always take a good look at someone's profile and feedback before considering buying from them.

Oh peter grabowitz, heard horrible things about him

unfortunately I wasn't aware of his dodgy rep and the poor spider died.

But this bivittatus person has lifted most of his picture links from spidershop and www.sainverts.com - Tarantula Price List, a site selling T's in South Africa!

Not even a very clever attempt at scamming.

I will publically apologise to this person if I have misjudged him. But so many of us have been done out of our cash lately, we need to look out for each other.

[perthchickie]

This person doesn't seem to know the t's there trying to sell, which is a bit dodgy
