Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've got patternless albinos in the incubator and some guy is trying to sell them in the classifieds for $125 each. I hope its not the real thing.

yeah no kiddin I went to a reptile show the 31st of last month and they were like 275-325. for babies

Hopefully he just put them there for the pictures, then moved them back to their paper towels.

i agree with what kelli said..."you get what you pay for"

i should add..."if it's too good to be true, it probably is"

i for one, would rather pay TOP dollar for any animal to ensure that i get the best possible animals around- both genetically and healthwise. that is why personally i choose to purchase animals from some of the better known breeders, even if it means paying 10-25% more. i mean, why take a chance and buy from some "no namer"???

honestly, it is very hard now a days to trust people selling over the internet. there are alot of people that are in it for the quick buck (nothing wrong with that) however, sometimes it may mean putting risks on the health of the animal.

if some of you have noticed, the same individial selling the PAs for $125 also posts other ads for other geckos- either selling them or trading.

i highly recommend potential buyers to do their own research, ask alot of questions, and always be cautious. good luck

Actually I would have to disagree with that statement. "Taking chances with some no-namer." I would not consider myself a no-namer but I am not widely known either. I have in the past, and even recently lowered my prices in order to compete with some of the more well known breeders. Be that as it may I have never once offered a low quality or inferior animal. Throughout free enterprise people have always pushed the boundry and offered a better product at a cheaper price! All that said the individual did go too low and I would have to say BUYER BEWARE!!!!

I would have to agree with Blazin here. I really don't know why you would have a reason to bash a person because he is selling his patternless albinos for less than you are. It is against TOS and really shows no class. Also you write:

What does that have anything to do about selling PAs for $125?
Newer breeders must do something to sell their animals if they do not have a reputation. Offering the same animals at a lower price is one of those things.

in those pics he fails to show the eyes and i know its rare but some patts can look like that as a baby. Jello looked like a PA, pink and all,but he isnt all he is, is a nice patt

Where are the pics anyway?

i can not find any baby pictures, i think i lost what ones i had when i had to reinstall everything. if you dont believe me ask kellih, she =saw him, in fact right now he is at her house, she can varify. I really do not feel i have to justify or prove anything so back to the thread, buyer beware

Can't find the ad anywhere!! Maybe he saw everbody questioning his prices and retracted the ad. Great, now he's going to charge 300 bucks for one (LOL)

Thanks,
