Question for all of you.....

t_wilson May 10, 2006 06:51 PM

I've been going back and forth between "Sunsethypo" about purchasing one of their super giants...

Does anyone have any information regarding her, and or any pictures of the geckos that she sold? I'm trying to purchase one, but she said that she can't get pics up for some reason, and that her paypal account is messing up. I'm just wondering if it's someone i can trust or if anyone knows who she is?
Thanks!

i dont think i have ever heard of them, do they have a website.

No website available that I know of. "Sunsethypo" is the account in which the lady sells her geckos. She says she has a super giant and a giant female she's breeding together.

Like i said, she says she's had problems w/ paypal and doesn't use them anymore and only accepts check/money order, and is failing to provide pictures because she says "it's a hassle"

Should I even bother with this lady any more or should I hassle for pics?

I don't know this person so I could be way off basis. Personally this doesn't sound like someone you should trust. There are plenty of breeders that are reputable and with sites. I can't understand why anyone would purchase from someone like that. Especially with the Paypal problem.

LOL, if showing proof of what she has "is a hassle", the I would think dealing with her would be just as much a hassle . You'll loose out in the end. Keep shoppin' around.

There are some reputable breeders/dealers out there with what you are looking for that will show you pictures of the animal for sale....

Why would anyone buy an animal they cant see first??? How are you supposed to see the animals colors and overall condition??? Are we supposed to take the sellers word for it??? LOL

Personally, when I have an animal for sale I always present a picture of that exact animal for sale.... I even show pics of the parents if requested....

I hate to see ads without pics or an ad that says "the animals pictured are not for sale but the ones for sale are from the same bloodline...." Meanwhile the ones for sale are not pictured...

Thanks to all for your advice.

I've already backed out of the deal

Guess my search will continue for now

Thanks for the offer! I'm primarily looking for 3 morphs right now.
1). Blazing Blizzard OR Blizzard (not banana)
2). Midnight Blizzard
**3** Super Giant (any morph) And I'd rather have one of these than anything else right now.

If anyone can help me out with somewhere to get all or some of these guys at some good prices that'd be great!

Thanks!
