This is good advice. Product Support always makes customers more comfortable with the purchase.

Unfortunately that's not quite how kijiji works. It asks if you are offering it as a) the owner or b) a registered breeder.

Very solid advice and what I will be offering on every sale.

I am going to exercise my right to refuse this sale because I just don't feel right about it. I value honesty when I do business and feel it may be lacking here. I Aldo don't need the headache of a "PIA" ( whatever that means) customer.

Re: health guarantee question

So after sending this email :

"Hello here is a link to the thread I posted Asking about what people think is a fair guarantee. http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/gener...tml#post752495

Also I feel you have either lied to me or were a little deceptive so I am going to decline this sale. Thanks and have good day.

She sent me this reply:

"Kay for one i wasn't lying .. im just telling you what I've.heard from other people on kijiji .. i told you that from the beginning that im not a breeder so i won't know anything from that .. and if you wanna reject then that's okay .. i just wanted to find out if your snakes are healthy or if your looking for easy money .. i will not bother trying to buy or convince you im just defending myself because that post seemed a little douche bag .. I've talked to lots of people on kijiji and don't even know if there real breeders im just looking to find a good breeder that i can trust .. but thanks for letting me know.not to go to you

So what did we learn? Calling someone out on their lies makes me a douche.

Re: health guarantee question

No no no. I already knew I was douche just didn't realize telling the truth would get me that label.

Re: health guarantee question

Yup, what Aaron said. Once that animal is no longer in my care, I don't care the reason, I don't want it back. Who knows what that cesspool you call a collection is harbouring; a nasty viral RI that infects everything? mites? ticks?
I do however, guarantee that the animal is healthy, properly sexed and an established eater when you receive it. What you do to it in your care is beyond my control.
That said, I will bend over backwards to offer aftercare to those that request it.

So a...about that mystic...will she eat chicken wings? I don't want to feed it rodents. Can I keep it in a 2 gallon plastic ice cream tub? Cleaned out of course with some air holes. Do grass clippings make a good substrate?

I NEED AFTER CARE!

I think that's fair and really all you CAN do.

When I picked up my GTP there were 5 more in the same clutch. They were only a few weeks old and had maybe eaten 3 meals. I knew the risks of purchasing an animal so newly established and though mine thrived I know of 2 that aren't doing so hot.

whether or not the breeder should have let them go is one thing but if you mishandle it when you get it home hey, that's your problem they gave you the advice you didn't choose to follow it. Tough nuggies

If you feed it chicken wings it will never get aggressive...

Do I know you?
You must have me mistaken with someone else.
You of all people should know that I say things to make myself look good on the forums, when it reality I could care less about either my animals or my customers.
You're on your own, chump.

Hey Aaron, I wouldn't bother paying him. He says right in bold that no matter what he won't take it back.
