Would you purchase from again?
Yes
Pros
  • Flexibility and generosity
Cons
  • NONE!
Short version of the story: i found some Ts on my local Craigslist, one of which was a MM A. geniculata. Unfortunately, the T i wanted was sold already and i technically wasn't supposed to buy any more Ts until i remodled the bathroom anyway, so i didn't buy any..... Later, while window shopping the AB classifieds, i came across MobBurrow's listing, and noticed he was in search of a MM A. genic.

i contacted him and asked if he would like me to buy and ship it to him for the Price of the spider + shipping, or the price of the spider plus a couple slings if he got a good sac.

He said he said yes and offered to pay the shipping AND give me a couple slings. Once he recieed the MM he also decided to give me a P. sufusca sling (one of my 'dream Ts') on top of everything else!

He was also let me trade the money he was going to pay for the genic for a second subfusca and shipping (which i think was worth more than he owed me).

Scott (MobBurrow) has been a pleasure to deal with as well as an exceedingly generous individual. i look forward to future transactions, and hope that someday i have the ability to return his generosity.

  • Excellent packaging, great communication, prices, selection, flexible with schedules
Cons
  • I should have bought more =) next time
Hey Scott,

I just got your package right on time. I've gotta say...... wow. Your packaging is amazing. Better than any & every website spider shop I've ordered from. Big thanks for the tiny enclosures as well. The versis look great in them =) All of the spiders were healthy, active, & beautiful. The p patch & regalis were bigger than expected too. You really took some time to put that package together & I appreciate it.

I have had a few transactions with Scott over the past several months and every one has been easy and pain-free. His T's are great quality and prices are great. Scott packs them really really well and I've never been worried about T's surviving the journey.

My latest purchase was over the holiday week and I lost track of a couple purchases. I remembered on Thursday that I had set 2 day shipping for a few of Scott's beautiful P. subfusca Highland slings and I wasn't going to be able to receive them on Saturday. Scott responded as soon as he could and rushed them to me overnight, offering to pay the extra cost as well. He's a great guy and takes pride in his stock, so I would absolutely recommend dealing with him.

Bought a MM Versicolor from him, his communication and price was excellent. The packing was superb, he was stuck in the mail for a few days with higher temps and he was perfectly fine. Will buy from again!

So all I wanted was a C. Versicolor and Scott had the best prices around. Suprisingly even though I was only getting the one T he still offered me a freebie. Any questions or concerns I had he would get ahold of me Via text, phone, email. I would highly reccomend Scott aka Mob Burrow to everyone and I know in the future I will be looking to buy some more T's from him.

Pros
  • Excellent communication, great pricing, stands behind his guarantee.
Cons
  • None
Inquired about getting 3 Y. diversipes and 5 H. incei from Scott. He was quick to respond and priced my shipping. Communication was great and Scott got them shipped quickly. The diversipes arrived healthy and looking amazing! The packing job was superb. Unfortunately, 4 of the 5 incei were DOA. I contacted Scott about the situation and Scott offered to send replacements as soon as he could.
Received the replacements and they were very lively and looked great.
Scott truly cares for these animals' health and well being. Communication was great throughout, very positive transaction. I hope to do more business with Scott in the future. A true asset to the hobby!

Pros
  • Awesome communication and very accessible. Spiders were better than anticipated! Good Prices!
Cons
  • None.
Scott and I agreed on a trade for a MM of mine for some sling/juveniles of his. This was my first time shipping a package so he gave me some pointers and his vote of confidence. He answered my calls, emails, and texts to make sure I felt comfortable with the details of the trade. I received some absolutely amazing specimens in return and thankfully, my MM arrived to him alive and well. After some recent not so great experiences and DOAs with other dealers through Arachnoboards, I was a little hesitant and skeptical to buy from anyone other than the biggest names in the bizz, but Scott at Mob Burrow changed that for me. The packaging was top notch and included some extra attention to detail that showed his love for the hobby. The sling containers were display vials wrapped together with spider web tape... totally awesome. The box included a foam cooler that was top notch and the spiders were much bigger than I expected and totally worth the cost. I might even purchased a couple more. Scott and I are working out the details of another trade and my first experience totally solidified that. I will certainly be working with this guy in the future.

This was my 1st time buying Ts from the boards and I couldn't be happier. He gave me tips for taking care of my new Ts, and it was obvious that he cared for the Ts a lot. I can't wait til I have more money to spend with Scott!
10/10 would recommend

First time purchasing from someone online, sight unseen, and I am beyond pleased with it. T's arrived packed incredibly well and secure. All are healthy and look great. Scott was fantastic about working with my weird schedule and answered any questions I had before purchase without issue. Very happy with this transaction, will be keeping an eye on his sales threads for the future!

Pros
  • Super nice guy will answer questions and take time to talk with you even after the money is sent, great packaging, beautiful specimens, offers great deals on triple sling purchases, best prices on lag shipping I've come across can't forget great free bees
Cons
  • Absolutely nothing
I contacted Scott about shipping prices for 3 P. Irmenia and 3 y. Diversipes he got back to me fairly quickly but by this time I placed a few orders with some of the more common online dealers. I ended up spending more than I realized manly because of $50 lag shipping so I felt like a dumb ass when my account was $9 short for the order and was quoted $11 for shipping so I asked Scott if I could just buy the 3 P Irmenia and would get the rest of the order in a few days he said that was fine and asked what freebie I would like wich blew my mind that freebies were offered on a $38 purchase. My 3 P Irmenia arrived today great packaging very healthy fat butted specimens and my 3 diversipes and the bornio black freebie is on its way I'm positive it will go as smoothly as this transaction did I will continue to buy from Scott whenever new stock is available and so should you.
Thanks Scott for the great T's

Just got a breeding pair from Scott and am pleased with the deal. Fast & easy transaction, healthy ts, expert packaging, and awesome communication.
He even tossed in a awesome MM (thats hard to come by actually) as a freebie when i purchased the female!

If youre looking for additions, MobBurrow is a great place to start!

Thanks again

  • Great communicator!! Primo packing job. Spider arrived happy and healthy.
Cons

Scott is awesome! Even text'd me once he couldn't get ahold of me on AB. He loves his spiders. I was super impressed that he asked if he could watch my purchase through her pre-molt and molting process. He sent her only after she was able to again take down prey. The welfare of his Ts trumps all. Would gleefully buy from him again. He even described the personality of the T before I received it. Scott went over and above.
(Thanks Scott. I love her!)

Pros
  • Very professional and was quick to keep in touch.
I ordered 6 A. geniculatas (he made one a freebie for me which was nice) and one of his Pumpkin patch large slings. We waited to ship due to being close to molting (the genics) then waited for the weather on my end to warm back up. He was very nice and the packaging was excellent. Everything arrived alive and very much active. It was a pleasant experience and I can see myself doing more business with him in the future.
