| I think that herp trader is stil good way to find animal you are looking for.
I personaly used our APS for sale forum few times and find it great.
It is only one chance to be member on APS. people who do not fit to be one of us do get kicked and it is hard to join under different name. I would think that people here trying to deal honestly as possible, not to step out of line.
Another think is that in many cases you know the seller from previous posts or you can search for his posts here to get bit of idea about him. Not perfect , but better than blind purchase. |
