Well I really really want a GBB. More than anything in the world. And since they're so damn hard to find, I'm wondering what the best sites are for getting Ts online. I'm looking at pricing, reliability, and of course, selection. Any help is appreciated!
Best online tarantula stores?

Check the review section for a list..if you're asking personally I usually stick to ArachnidsRVA, Kenthebugguy, Net-bug or JamiesTarantulas....But there are plenty of great dealers out there! Just make sure you do one day shipping this time of year (as most only offer LAG on one day anyway)

i recommend looking for deals on the "for sale" section. all my Ts were from other members and great deals! Better than dealers
I ordered my first two T's (both GBBs) from Bug-Net. Communication with Anastasia was +++.
The GBBs were packaged with so much care it was ridiculous
I don't know if Bug-Net still has any, but check their website.
Good luck and enjoy your GBB's, no matter where you get them from.

All my slings came from Jamiestarantulas. I highly recommend her, though I don't think she has any GBB at the moment.

Petcenter always seems cheaper than the others and has fantastic service. SwiftInverts is good too. Jamie's Tarantulas is great for beginners - she has all the supplies you need to raise a T for a good price.

paul (petcenterUSA) always has what im looking for at the best price! if he doesnt have it, i call him (we talk alot as i have many questions) and ask when hes getting the next batch of P. Murinus for exaplme and he gives me a solid 1 week zone of when theyre due!
Swift's, Net-Bug, Ken the Bug Guy... I think these are the "big" names, all high quality stuff and vast selection. Good reps, I have used them all and have been very happy with each. Lots of great dealers/breeders in the classifieds too, just read the review section. Many really nice folks on the boards.
Being in St. Pete, you should check out J & T Reptiles and Exotics who are your neighbors practically. Stock is not an endless list like at the first three mentioned, but prices and quality are great and what they have changes frequently. Tracy is super nice and can frequently get things not on the list for you if you just ask. Nice to deal in state as well since shipping is so fast and less expensive.

Petcenterusa indeed, hes got a deal right now spend 350 and get a mesomelas for free. It is literally a one hundred dollar spider even if it turns out to be male.
I have yet to check them out, but that name sounds familiar. I think I got their business card when they were at Repticon in Tampa several months ago. I'll be sure to look into them. Right now my local place I go to is Gaia exotics and they have a great selection of spiders but unfortunately every time they get GBBs they're gone before you can blink

PetcenterUSA all the way! Paul is a great seller, a great resource for information and and definitely an asset to the hobby! Best of all, he's in my neck of the woods which on two occasions allowed me the opportunity to go down and pick up my order directly from him and pick his brain with the questions I had.

Its really a hard answer to say who is the best for online selling... Swifts, Net-Bug, Ken the bug guy, petcenterusa, arachnidsrva, tarantulaspiders.com,.. etc.
They are all great people to talk to and all provide awesome service. I do most of my business with Paul Becker (petcenterusa) and that is because he always has what I am looking for and is a great guy.
But I have never had a bad transaction with other sellers, always awesome service! Nobody has pulled a "Pat Kane" on me yet lol
