Thank you

Send all possible sellers a PM asking if you could call them and speak via phone.

Phone convo is 1000% more effective and efficient than pecking away via pm,text, snail mail.

A phone convo is also going to get you a HUGE vibe /personal feeling on the seller /breeder. If you have some age, experience, life lessons learned...then you are going to be able to size up, whether or not you will make a deal and buy from them.

This is another reason I try to attend every single frog meet, gathering, reptile show . IAD and frog day. Meet /greet and get some face time.

There was one person 'business' vendor who would have NONE of that at the last frog day. He skulked in and we literally had to be alerted to his presence because he tried to fly in under the radar. He shook no hands, made no small talk ect. I think he expected to sell the majority of his 'wares' in his hotel room, car boot (trunk) or back alley.

Try to meet your potential deal partner, or at least talk to them a few times by phone.

Thank you, Dendro Dave
I like your last post. Very well stated.

Coqui, I still wonder who exactly you wanted info about.

Hello, Rich
The info i was seeking, was any alias that certain individuals that were mention on this topic as being
Unscrupulous had used or is being use. Just wanted to be an inform buyer. However, a few people emailed
Me with all kind of information, positive and negative. But at the end I think, Dendro Dave stated it well.
Thank you.

Hey Rich

Hi,
got ya. If there are any other questions you'd like answered in private, please feel free to email.

The info on Brad Martin AKA Dendrobati, pertaining to refusing proof of breeding (simple pics) , proof on lineage and his attempt at deceiving me has been offered already. But I can add to that info in private also.

Thanks, I actually re-read that and think I was to diplomatic that time and my OCD on leaving things incomplete/unsaid is kicking in, so I'm just going to say something I should have said specifically in that post...

If you don't wanna buy frogs directly from Rich due to personal differences, that is your business...but shunning frogs produced by other people from his stock is silly when it is based on personal differences with him.IMO (Unless they screwed up, pissed you off, or the froglets are to young, look like they are about to die etc...etc...(But that isn't Rich's fault))

If anyone likes me less because I'm not at war with Rich, may someday buy/sell frogs from him or his lines...Man I just don't even know what to say to that, other then "WTF, where is the logic in that?"

Dave,
Greats thoughts, but really you are over thinking this. The boycott on buying my frogs is just more bullshit from Brad Martin. Nothing more, nothing less.
