A Word of Warning re Herp Trader Adds
Hi all,
I had a distubing talk with a close friend yesterday. He advised me a an unscruperlus selling technique that is being used by sellers on the Herp Trader. This is how it is supposed to go.
First. An add is placed for unusal reptiles at very inflated prices.
Second. The Herp Trader is advised they are sold within a day or so from the add being placed, and the sold sign is than placed on the add.
Third. Now a seed has been planted. People who were interested in the species, but thought they were a bit expensive, now think they were snapped up quickly and the price may have been worth it.
Forth. Now that a artifical inflated climate has been established, lo and behold the same seller suddenly has more of the same rare species for sale at those high prices. People thinking they missed out the first time rush in and make a deal. A sucker is now born
So if you see rarer animals for sale at higher then normal prices, which then appear to sell fast, and then you notice a similar add appearing within the next few weeks, my advise would be to check with the herp trader as who placed both adds. You may be supprised. |
