If I were selling non-visual hets and stated all paperwork were in order, why not state who bred them in the ad?

other info like weights,DOB,what they are eating and some personal info like the sellers name and phone # would be nice too!

I just don't know what some of these people are thinking when they post these ads!

Hey Jay,

Email if you want to see a copy of paperwork that goes out with my animals, whether visual hets or not, I think customers like it as a reference point down the line instead of trying to dig out my phone number, and it just seems professional. Although I must say, I can't ever turn down a fellow herpers phone calls!

I have paperwork and photos that go with my animals. I just don't understand why, if someone is selling hets they did not produce, they do not mention (in the ad) who produced them. It would seem a selling point. Makes me wonder if they are conceiling something? Probably not - just in the "wonder" mode again.

Jay,

What are you thinking here? Truth in advertising? Educating buyers? Buyer beware has been an established practice in business since the beginning of time (or at least since the beginning of commerce)! Where would it end??? Well, that was my 1.5 cents, and now back to sending my account info to my good friend in Nigeria (funny I don't remember him, nor do I remember entering the lottery there). I just can't believe I won! LOL!

Great idea with the paperwork and breeder info, I am just wondering what can be trusted since we have seen in the past things can be misleading. I know you can look up a person's reputation, but if I was to post one any say that you bred it (and lets say I bought one from you a year or two ago), how would someone be able to tell if it was the truth? How you you as the supposed breeder be able to tell the truth?

(note to KS, I am using an example not an actual ad, nor am I selling or advertising any reptiles, nor am I saying I have or anyone should purchase a reptile from Jay, just using this as an example)

Did you email the person and ask who the breeder was?

Dave

I'm not looking to buy but I did get some inside information that steers closer to my suspicions.
