Any info on Caveat Emptor Reptiles...?

CJBianco Sep 07, 2005 07:49 AM

I bought 5.5 Piebalds and 3.3 High Contrast Albinos for $200 each about a month ago, and I'm still waiting on the shipment from Nigeria.

I wanted to add a few Caramels to the order.

Does anyone have a phone number for Mr. Smith?

I am also awaitiing a shipment from Mr. Smith - the price he gave me was $400 each for my 2.6 that I purchased. I guess you got a better quantity discount than I did.

I am really looking forward to getting them - the photos sent looked great - apparently even RDR buys from him too as I noticed a slight Midas watermark on the photo.

Sorry I do not have a number for him just an email. As I didn't want to use up to many of my cell phone minutes to call him.

Best of luck looks like you've got a nice bunch coming in!!

It must be all the Cites paperwork causing the delay. International shipping can be a little tricky sometimes.

The good news is that he wants to buy one of my (insert item) listed on the other site. And he's going to send me a cashiers cheque for WAY more than the actual cost! Plus Mr. Smith is going to take care of all the shipping through his own private shipping company.

Wow! Making money doesn't get any easier than this!

Jay -

Does the Gecko provide a discount for herpers? And would we be talking ocean liner or dingy size boat?

Thanks -

I have no boat but my wife is dingy... do I still get a discount?

And does anyone know how I can contact Mr. Smith? I need to change my ship to address from ... to The Dog House Behind ... after that last comment.

Geico doesn't know a gecko from a salamander. The commercials on the radio here claim that the Gecko is North Carolina's "Official Amphibian"... Now why would I trust my insurance to a company that doesn't know reptiles from amphibians?

the commercials in my area claim the gecko is Pennsylvania's unofficial state amphibian.

He also happens to be the son of the Minister of Banks in Nigeria, and he is working on sending me $4 million as soon as I send him my bank info. If I don't help him out, the money will all be lost forever, so that is why he is sharing it with me (not!)!!

Nice to hear that he is also into ball pythons, haha!

I forgot all about the good ol' need-help-laundering-state-funds and the need-help-cashing-last-will-and-testament-so-pretend-you're-the-next-of-kin scams!

Thanks for the morning chuckle!
