|  | Regular Member | Join Date: May-04 Location: Central Victoria | | | | Just to echo what others here are saying - I've bought twice via Herp Trader this year. Each time the vendors were genuine, the prices were better than usual and the animals I bought were great.
And the Herp Trader service was excellent.
I visit it each day - while I was browsing it the other night, my wife scared the heck out of me by sneaking up behind me and then shouting YOU ARE NOT BUYING ANY MORE SNAKES!!
cheers

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Apr-03 Location: Brisbane | | | | too big a coincidence for me, I doubt they were genuine.
same wordage in the ads, when I saw them I thought exactly the same thing as bigguy.
What a marketing ploy - still getting $1300 for max $750 worth of lizards.
there must be some fantastically gullible people out there with lots of money.
I thought the best marketing ploy last season was the guy that advertised his womas for $4700 per pair - it must have been when she ovulated he posted the ad, it was very early in the season. I bet he sold them all too. People are too impulsive and they have to wait a whole year for things to breed, after waiting 9 months or so they cant wait to spend their money. |

I never mentioned what adds I was referring too. But for your information there were three adds for Western Bluetongues.
1st add $3200 for three from NSW
2nd add $1300 for three from a licenced dealer in SA
3rd add $1,200 for one from NSW
Adds 1 and 3 WERE the same seller as adviced by Brian Barnett of Herp Trader. |

| | Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-03 Location: Gosford | | | | Hi, I also agree the Herp Trader is a great place to buy and sell reptiles. I use it all the time. As a matter of fact it was I that suggested to Brian Barnett to add a advertising page to his web site which Daavid had created.
Daavid Turnbull then ran with the idea and created the Herp Trader of today. Due to the hard work of Daavid and his better half, Judy the Herp Trader became so sucsessfull that they had to incurr a small fee to cover the web page costs and all the time put into it.
Keep up the good work guys. |

Peter
ps. I should add that no one said you did mention those adds but someone else did. So why the attitude? |
