[QUOTE="Eden Exotics, post: 209635, member: 37680"] Let me preface this by saying that I don't like leaving negative reviews and only do it if I think it is absolutely necessary. I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and I'm a seller myself and have gotten some unfair negative reviews before that were just a misunderstanding that could have been easily remedied if the seller just reached out to me first. However, this is not one of those instances. I did a trade with Tyler last June for several tarantulas. The first thing that was irritating is he changed the deal several times, right up until the night before. I was just about to back out just because of that. But anyways, I agreed to his (many) changes, but was not happy with what was finally sent. That's not why I'm leaving a negative review though. Secondly, one of the tarantulas that he was supposed to send (an A. geniculata) never got sent. Again, I am pretty forgiving with this kind of stuff, so I'm not even leaving a negative review for that reason. The reason I'm giving a negative review is this: I got 6 supposedly unsexed 2" I. mira tarantulas, and I just noticed yesterday that they are all male. Now if it were 3 or 4, sure that could theoretically be coincidence. But 6? Highly unlikely. He knew these were males and sold them as unsexed. A couple other reasons I suspect this are because another 2" supposedly unsexed species turned out to be male and he has NO males listed on his site, only females or unsexed. So what he's doing is selling males as unsexed for more money, at least from the west coast location. It's a really lowball thing to do. I would stay away from this guy; I definitely won't be doing business with him in the future. [/QUOTE]
