Responsability

[zero&stich]

Here's a seperate rant.
I need my license so I can drive to the border again. I would be interested in the expos in Canada.

I hate when I respond to someone's ad and then never hear from them. Even if you sell your item to the first person that responds, at least take the time to let other ppl know that it's no longer availible.

as far as the picture thing goes, some of us arent the best with photo editing and arent able to post to ssnakess gallery becasue it only allows 1 meg and most of my pics are wayy over a meg. now, dont get me wrong this isnt a knock on ssnakess for "only" giving us that much, as I appreciate the fact that they give us ANY space.
also, I do the email for pics thing so I can send CURRENT pics of the animals I hope to sell.


i agree with the location thing though. it seems more and more users have no location in their profile. personally I like to know if someone is in my area, that way I can meet new herpers. when I got into herps a few years ago I was the only "crazy" person I knew. a year later I found this site, and now another year later I know about 4 herpers I can chat with face to face.

Another peeve of mine. Easterners who post, but won't ship. I almost never see a Western add who won't ship. It has turned me off of purchasing from anyone east of Manitoba or even selling to anyone out there.

oh, and I usually dont trust anyone between manitoba and quebec either lol.
seriously though, I see tons of ads from the west, mostly from calgary, edmonton and lower mainland bc that are pickup or delivery only. you seem unfairly biased/selective memory.

us hethon Ontarians dont need to ship because there is more than 60% of the country's population within a 3 hour drive. I offer to drive that distance most of the time, for a $15 delivery fee, which is less than half of the gas I use on a 6 hour rounds trip. I do it to meet people, i like driving and a few other reasons. I usually end up waiving the fee and making $25 or less on the animal I have just sold. I buy dinenr on the way home and chalk it up to a good day.

I dont mean to be harsh, but that seems to be the only thing people respond to on ssnakess these days. and that easterner comment was harsh.

with the no pics and price thing.. thats entirely fine with me... its the location factor in any situation.. some ppl ask ??? on where to get things and sure i can say "oh i found a good deal at canadian tire" and there from the usa.. doesnt help much.. i can see that ppl dont wanna put there exact location but even a provence or state... and with the states, id perfer the entire thing... i may be the only dummy on here but i dont know the short forms for most of the states. i dropped geography asap... lol..

other than that i kinda agree.. we should not be complaining about how things are run on here cause this is a free site and you can post adds free so.. but i do think there was a nicer way to say it ( dont take offence none was ment)..

but my other pet peeve is that you wouldnt be able to feed a thorny devil.. i love thoes things man..

Speaking of the "location" thing, I've been getting a lot of emails lately asking me if I have animals available for sale or if I know of any breeders. But none of these people tell me where they are located. (I usually find out they are in Europe or the Middle East.) So I guess my suggestion is, if you respond to an ad or you are just making an inquiry, let the person know where you are located. I, too, will not ship out of the area for less than $500 but that's because Pearson International is painful.

LOL Someone should sum this up and sticky it above the classifieds under "Rule for Posting Ads"

Actually alot of good rants, and here I was just mad because someone never edited a "For Sale Post" to say the snake was sold.
