Did he just try to trick me into thinking that I quoted him $50 for a $500 snake, or was he genuinely mistaken? Either way, he's confusing the shit out of me. :dunno:

Whenever I reply to an ad on KS or anywhere else, I try to appear polite, intelligent, and coherent. It's really amazing how few people respond in this fashion.

Here's an actual transcription from someone inquiring on one of my ads.

My ad is for 2 proven male ball pythons, a Mojave and a Pastel. The Mojave is priced at $500+ shipping and the Pastel is priced at $300+ shipping.

Sounds like he's screwing with you, Just send him an email that states how much each snake is and an estimate on how much shipping would be for a single animal or both. :yessir:

That same guy has sent me several replies to ads over the last year or so and they always seem to go along that same vein. I usually delete or ignore them since the only info I could find on him was this thread....

Anyone else research the people who want to buy from them or is it just me?

for what it's worth -- this guy is a looser -- if you care about your snakes -- don't sell them to him :yessir:

I do this almost every time. Too many scammers out there!
