Annoying timewasters!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tops]

Another thing that annoys me is people who dont tell you the whole story or advertise things as something else.

Ive bought a few 'breeding weight' royals before now that are a good 500-600g short of breeding weight.

Its when you get there and they say 'yeah should be good to go this season'. Im thinking HUH?

That's common courtesy and you were honest so that's ok you explained what was up and didn't keep them hanging around.

Unless of course you don't have a car..... which is where we are. Only way we can collect anything is via train.

Granted, I don't like timewasters either - and my rule is basically I'll meet someone in a public place, but I won't wait for longer than an hour after they were meant to be there. I owe it to my animals to take better care of them than that.

Yeah there are exceptions dont get me wrong there are always certain circumstances and occurances. Ive never gone half way to meet someone just a bit paranoid myself prefer collect from their place or reptile taxi.

Maybe this thread should be made into a "get it off your chest" thread lol. There's also the sneaky buyers who will buy a snake or whatever just to sell it on to make a profit. I know that possession is 9 10ths of the law and when paid for is theirs and if they want can sell on but they are animals that live for 20 years maybe more not card collecting.

Lol yeah! I was a bit nervous about saying some of my opinions on the matter but it seems we all share the same thoughts! I guess its just part and parcel of selling! I do think we should make a sticky about it in the classifies tho! outline very clear rules!

This is on the classified under the heading but I dont many people have noticed it or if they have dont pay any attention to it but there are rules just need to be more strict on them. I reckon that anyone generally interested should pm and any non relevant should be deleted or any negative or argumentative posts also

totally agree why bother???

we sell a lot of stuff...

and we get messed about a LOT.

it upsets me every time, but i know i just need to get used to it...

so if anyone asks about something, and then comes back later to find it gone, please don't get upset about it! lol

i won't hold stuff for anyone any more, because of the many people who have messed me about...
unless i have dealt with you personally in the past, and trust you.

i have been messed about FAR too much to trust anyone any more!

it is very upsetting for the people selling things, especially when plans have been altered to fit around people coming to view something, and they never show up.

this is one of my biggest pet hates. but from now on, it's not going to bother me, as i'm not going to believe something sold until the money is in my hand!!!
