Craigslist tarantulas and the people selling them

[ScarecrowGirl]

Its really chancy to buy stuff off of craigslist, There was an ad for re-homing an obt posted yesterday that one of my co-workers told me about. I called the number to find out a little more, the guy had raised the price since yesterday.

There are some interesting people out there. I called and said the usual 'hi, I'm calling about your craigslist ad ' the guy who picked up sounded drunk for one, then he went off before I could say any thing else ' What? some dumb b** is callin for my bug? Yall women arent good for nuthin but house cleanen. Yall dont know anythin. *someone yelling in the back ground* I dont know, some drunk a@@ b** wastin my minutes!' and he hung up

Safe to say I wont be calling him back, I hope that poor spider gets a good home though. My co-worker was interested because he has some t's himself, but his cell is down at the moment so I told him I'd call, so I'm going to have to tell him to call the crazy guy himself. I know I dont really have the experience for an obt quite yet.

I was looking at Craig's List for second hand aquariums the other day. I found some, but I'm not sure that the prices necessarily beat Walmart or Petco.

I have had many CL experiences that have been terrible.... every now and then I do find a good seller.

Ts don't normally pop up on my Craigslist, but I have snatched up some amazing deals. I've bought 9 Ts off CL and all were in excellent condition and at great prices. Of course, three of them were slings from a member here.

Normally it's over priced G. rosea and some guy spamming two free Ts, but when a deal comes up I've snatched it up. I have missed out on a few cheap T. stirmi though.

Since I live in the same region as you I decided to check craigslist - but didn't find it listed. I'd bet that someone complained and the ad got pulled. Too bad. It might have been fun to call and ask a bunch of questions.

I'm sorry you had to experience that.

I have Text Plus on my phone with a number that is NOt my own. (text plus is a free app) I text plus everyone on craigslist or I email them. I do not want an experience like that and some dumb person having my real phone number. I heart Text Plus.

Yup thats it,

Honestly, I'm pretty spent at being aggravated at people this week, so that one I laughed off, its just a pity that people are like that.
And my co-worker opted out after hearing what happened, saying that he has enough big tarantulas to cover his man pride lol
