You've thought about this way too hard

How about "pics dont do justice" when really the animal is butt ugly and even 3 hours of photoshopping couldnt make it look good.

hmm, sex unknown is quite legitimate for most hatchling geckoes and lizards. I am more concerned when people guarrantee the sex of these ... I know they just guess or tell you what you want to hear.

Over the last couple of seasons Ive attempted to purchase several adult lawsoni from different people. You'd be surprised what peole have tried to palm off as breeding females or pairs. The funniest one was a yearling male central beardie that was supposed to be a lawsoni. I was told he just ate more than the rest, thats why he's twice the size of the others

 

[boxhead]

I cant stand it when people say "pick up only"
but dont say what state or location on their add or profile

could not agree more .it doesn't help much when all you get is NSW .or VIC .pick up only . so you ring and their 500kms away .

 

[LiasisKing]

l will soon have some Darwin hatchies for sale that will be ; Hypo x Hyper , 100% Het for Normalistic .

LOL, this one had me in stiches,

 

[Frozenmouse]

None of the mentioned my favorite BS line from sellers "natural intergrade"
CoastalxDiamonds.

I've just had a look back over this thread and I have to wonder how many pots are calling kettles black :lol:

There are a few of these points I can see the other side of. For instance, the line you draw between genuine buyer and tyrekicker is often confused. While some sellers are fine with understanding the need to see a pic or two....others seem to view the desire to see what you're buying at least once as on par with those who want 50 shots from every angle and the same of the parents.

hmm, sex unknown is quite legitimate for most hatchling geckoes and lizards. I am more concerned when people guarrantee the sex of these ... I know they just guess or tell you what you want to hear.

Truth be told I'm equaly as concerned by those who guarantee sex of anything at all now. How many stories have we heard of people being guaranteed female or breeding pairs of snakes (especially the more expensive kind) and shelling out a fortune, only for them to all turn out male? The odd mistake in sexing is one thing....but swearing on your granny's grave that your sexing is spot on and consistently getting it wrong.....come on.

Just cant leave this thread alone

"no pics coz my camera is broken"

herpers must be the clumsiest group of people on earth. So many of them have busted cameras

What's even funnier are the ones who post up pics of one or two decent looking hatchlings and then the camera breaks/disappears/they-don't-know-how-to-use-it before they can post pics of the parents or the rest of the siblings :lol: And then you get weeks worth of "I'll post pics tomorrow" type remarks while they fervently hope everyone will forget :lol:

 

[Jonno from ERD]

Haha I am guilty of the "trick" snakes ad, although the ad WAS perfect in every other way with photo's of the animals, parents and all necessary information

"Selectively bred" from my only pair

 

[TahneeMaree]

"Selectively bred" from my only pair

LOL well... they DID select the pair from the breeder/s they got them from... just depends on the degree of selection they dictate happened I guess

 

[Australis]

Plenty of variations to it.
Another golden one is:

Selectively bred crosses
but really i just couldnt pull off a normal pairing.. to save my life.
so ive put everything together in a desperate attempt to get eggs.

Or..
Respected longtime Chondro breeder
I have the stamps to prove it!

 

[Southside Morelia]

This is the funniest thread in a long time, it's great to take the piss but what happens when everyone is trying to sell their stock this season.....all the quotes have now been bagged, i'm sure there have been a few on here that some of us have used....LMAO :lol:
This one from Red is a crack up though...also along the same line, "taken pic from phone not the best picture" it's because the animal is ugly and sold for a premium, if the pic was crisp and clear and not blurry as s h i t , you wouldn't bother looking at it. :lol::lol:
