He said they just molted which would mean they'd almost certainly have tiny abdomens. How's that random vendor supposed to know the skinny little abdomen wasn't because they were starved or dehydrated?i think the OP has a point about the dehydration thing.
BOTH wasn't in your initial post so it seems strange you'd caps it. Your rant about those vendors is one-sided and I'm saying it's possible you may want to consider you may be being unfair and unrealistic. You won, next time fork over the money for a table and a license and sell those two for $150....and that they were only worth $20 for BOTH. Please...
i agree with this. They pretty much know there being cheap, but they also know if they keep being cheap people will still sell it to them cheap. In addition to this, they buy everything wholesale and they cant give you much especially if they don't know you as who knows the pair could be both immature males, they could have an injured fag that may be missed initially and, giving you a good offer means selling even higher which translates to having to take care of them for a long time before they sell.Street bargaining tactics. I don't know why people have such a hard time grasping this concept.
They AREN'T being fair for a reason.
Glad I wasn't there. I would've just told the kid right before he bought that about this forum and how much he could have actually gotten here with that cash. I hardly would care what the vendor thought of me since I wouldn't want to give him my business.I saw a kid spend $300 plus bucks on a 3" LP, a HUGE glass tank, a heat pad AND a heat lamp. It broke my heart knowing that he could've gotten a perfectly adequate set-up plus the exact same T for ~$20.

I hate that kinda stuff,a few years ago before i had access to the internet,i paid 55.00 for a LP sling at a show just because it was the first one i'd ever seen for sale.I saw a kid spend $300 plus bucks on a 3" LP, a HUGE glass tank, a heat pad AND a heat lamp.

If you love your lp, it was worth the $55 right?I hate that kinda stuff,a few years ago before i had access to the internet,i paid 55.00 for a LP sling at a show just because it was the first one i'd ever seen for sale.
Totally,I just hate that i spent all my money on 1 sling,now knowing you can get quite a few for 55.00.If you love your lp, it was worth the $55 right?
i disagree with the logic.If you love your lp, it was worth the $55 right?
quoted for truthi disagree with the logic.
if you like your car, would you be happy with a car payment thats double what you now pay? of course not.
no matter how much you like the car, you would be pissed to find out you got ripped off.
All I'm saying is that at the time when he paid $55 for the LP, he felt that it was worth it and that's all that matters. Is it worth it to him NOW to pay $55 for another LP? Probably not since he now knows the going price.i disagree with the logic.

If there offering you 20$ for t's worth 200$, i doubt they would offer anything worth the op's while.OP, did you try countering their offer? That is generally how it works you know...
Yep. At the expo I go to there is this absolute idiot who always has different Ts and reptiles at every show. He does not know what he has, or how to take care of them. His Ts and snakes are always supper skinny (starved), dehydrated and unhealthy looking.It just really irks me to no end to be treated like someone who just fell off the turnip truck by some of these small time vendors at shows. Any one else have similar experiences?
