on the 4th march this year i sold what i thought was a female normal royal. I told the buyer that i had not probed the snake but i was told buy the previous owner that it was female. Anyway, i got a text last week off the new owner telling me he had had it probed and was a male. I was shocked but i did warn him to a degree that it was not 100% female and that i was going off the previous owners verbal confirmation. He now expects me to give him his money back. Now i am usually a very amicable guy and i would have been willing to do that if he had come back to me within a week or so, but its way over a month! How would i even know it was the same snake? Where do you draw a line at timescale? I sold it for £40 (it being an 09 normal). I suggested he would get his money back selling it on but he seems to think he can pick them up for £20?
Let me know your thoughts guys...

I presume you managed to see the text before it was deleted because of language?
He is from Manchester somewhere. I live in Warrington.

Well i'm pleased with the feedback so far. Exactly what i was thinking. I have offered the money purely on the basis that i am absolutely fed up with the grief i keep getting from him. For £20 to shut someone up is worth it to me. Not only that, i told him i wouldnt pay until he had apologised for the way in which he text me and for calling me a con artist. He has apologised like a little kid that he is. Check out the pic below, its one of the messages he sent. My comment is in green.

I'm a member on three other pets forums and firstly I can tell you that that sort of attitude doesn't bode well for the person giving it. People just don't like people that bitch on about other forum members like that. All it ever acheives is them looseing friends. Not so long ago there was a post on another forum telling everyone about how this person hated the other 'cause they'd done this and that and over a month later there are still people who won't answer any posts they make 'cause they don't want anything to do with them anymore. Of course the post was removed, but people still saw it before hand, including me, and what they said was quite nasty and a bit cruel. So I wouldn't worry about him telling others a pack of lies 'cause it'll only be him that suffers from it.
Seconly, I wouldn't have payed him either, so your better than me! I just hope snakey finds a good new home. And yes, it'll be rid of a very big (not so tasty) rat! |

Only just seen this, I would have only sent him a tenner back, amale 09 is worth at least 50 as it is closer to breeding weight, but yes a female would-be more. To me 20 quid is a steal to the guy |

No, I'm just sending him a cheque! |

I wish it was worth it. Would love to smash his head in but sometimes, is it really worth all the hassle!
Cheers guys! |

Your too nice, I'd have sent him a flaming bag of doggy doo. |

Ok, I thought I would be the better man. I have agreed to send him 20 quid as I ain't a con artist like he accused me of.
