  10. $150 both shipping"
Ok, that pic of gigas is a sling, probably 3/4" at biggest, so that was a give away, and then 150 for 2 elenae wasn't a correct price quote, thats a quote from someone looking to make a quick buck, not to mention that that cost for a gigas of an 1" or even 2" is also not a correct quote.

Some one else reported him recently and I told him if he didn't rectify matters I would ban him. It seems to be sorted out now but if anyone else has a problem with him please let me know.

Please message me if this guy has conned you out of money or Ts.
I got a PM from him stating he had 2 females following one of my wanted ads....even though my ad said UK only. I declined and thanked him for the message so cannot say either way whether the offer was genuine or not.

He tried getting me as well.

I posted an add a couple of months ago while looking for particular mature females.
He stated he had a few of each species I was looking for, even the rare ones.
I asked for prices. One was a MF Grammostola formosa, for $109 shipped.
I never responded again.

Hopefully he will give up preying on members here knowing that we're keeping an eye on him.

As long as he's making money, he has no reason to stop. Soo maybe a few marks are wise to him, but if he snags someone, hey, free money.

Yeah, I just suggest being aware of the average prices of what you are looking for. Or, if you don't know, post a thread asking. Many here who are on (more than me but if I come on and notice I would too) frequently would gladly give you advice :)

While he's using a recognisable user name we can keep an eye on him, if he's banned he'll sign up with another name.

Is it possible for him to fake us out by keeping his iser mame and also signing up with another name?

We can check his IP address for other user names and at the moment he has none so unless he uses another PC we can watch him.
