I'd really love to buy some, but you haven't answered any of my questions...

Do you know how to ship live mantises? Have you sent the orders for the ~$200 already ordered?

Are you set up for paypal?

Could you PM me some tangible contact info like a phone number?

Would you take payments like a check or Postal Money Order at your home or work address?

Thanks,

Grant

 
Awaiting reply as far as paypal address and total.

you bought 38? He said is his offer that he was offering around 20 of each species

 
No reply even though he was on earlier when I sent the last PM asking him to contact Chrisp and ismart. I really hope I was not scammed as well. If you bought 38 then I know we are screwed since he said he didn't have that many.

Uh, Chris...could you stop quoting my posts when you are replying to IndyColts?

Should have asked him what school and contacted someone from the school who would know if he was selling mantids

 
When i private messaged him yesterday he told me he had more than 20 for sale. If i don't receive them by friday i'm going to file a dispute with paypal. Hopefully this guy will come through.

My God, Grant! What's wrong with you? This man is trying to help out poor school kids get computers (though he is probably paying about $200 - $250/computer higher than the going rate for refurbished machines), he has a child who is still fast asleep at 1000hrs and who, though tiny, cares for these desirable mantids, no doubt monitors their ambient and basking temps and builds a fort around them to protect them. Don't most mantis keepers with kids do this? And of course he can't give us details of where he got them. I understand that there is all sorts of international intrigue surrounding the sale and purchase of these insects, and who wants the Surete on their doorstep, if they can avoid it? If he bought these as F1 nymphs, then he is quite likely selling them at a loss, anyway, and think how many ooths he would have had to purchase to have this many nymphs for sale as extras, and all this without any organization to help him with species that many consider more appropriate for those with a lot of experience. You should be praising him, not asking mean questions. Besides. he has just established a PayPal account which proves that he must be honest. Can't PayPal arrest him or something if he refuses restitution?

I wonder what a Styrofoam nymph looks like? Pretty bright and white, I should think!

I'm sorry. I can feel a coughing attack coming on. Why do you west coast snobs hate the Colts? :D
