another crooked shark dealer

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Quite frankly the sale of animals with price tags like these should be put in writing and have a binding contract. That way there the customer has some recorse on getting their money back. I have lost way too much money on sharks that never worked out this year. Of the three that I lost out on only one person made an honest attempt to produce and thats the only one I hold out hope for making good on their deal.
 
Ditto to the above. Now I only deal with guys with high reps, and even then it can be stressful when you're dealing with particularly rare species.
 
when I was a kid we had to rite paper checks for our sharks
 
yea this guy definitely sounded like a heavy smoker when I talked to him, and there isn't much I can do with paypal. I have already came to the conclusion the 300 is history and I am just glad that's all I lost. When I did talk to him the one and only time it was 45 min of me listening to his bs. He first told me that he could not ship cause he was out of town and did not trust his employees, then it was that because he had a large order and I was 25 in line waiting for a shark, then it was his temporary pools lost power and he lost all his sharks, then It was that the weather was so rough down there that he wasn't seeing any sharks. Those were just the ones I can recall, after hearing all this bs he offered to sell me a chain catshark for more money obviously, and I told him no of course. but yea, all in all another good life lesson, and oh how I would love to meet this guy in person some day. :)
 
yup that sounds right. The sad part is he came recomended from one of the more ligit shark suppliers. Hearing this stuff just makes me nuts!!
 
I posted the same thread on shark/ray central today and as some of you who are also members there, I realize this guy has burned several of us shark/ray owners.

Might be time to quit work and become a full fledged shark collector.

Probably be pretty profitable. If you could find me a young lemon shark, I'd be much obliged...
