I can vouch for the seller that he is not a scammer. I've known this guy for so long, not sure if he remembers me. You don't know how many people I've held the fish for a few days thinking they would come and pick it up, and had several buyers in line I have to deny because I would say it's pending or on hold. Then said buyer never shows up. Don't even have the courtesy to call or text to say they changed their mind. I think t's a good idea to ask for a deposit from someone who says they're coming to buy it. At least 50%. That would prevent holding the fish for nothing. I could've sold the fish or item. Not to mention the anger and frustration it brings. If you really want it, give him a deposit then go pick it up. No need to bad mouth him in here.
