My order:

Quote:

Greetings kind sir,
I have been informed that you deal in exotic and rare animal species? I am wishing to purchase 50 ice snakes for my ice breeding project. I understand that they are most expensive and rare so please quote me a price for the 50 specimens plus shipping to Alaska? Thank you for your time.

As long as they don't upset my Polar Cow, sensitive things you know.

Shall send Johnny Morris to inspect the goods.

Dont worry, ice snakes are small and non-venomous. Your polar cows will have to grow some backbone.

Yes, two giant green anacondas please.

The really scary thing is, you can find those online.

There's a reptile board where you can browse and purchase snakes. These are snakes from actual dealers, and not snakes that are 100% risky free.

I saw a 9 foot king cobra for sale. Asking price wsa $800 USD. They had a picture of it too. Big old sucker.

In other words, I do believe that your anaconda order can be filled.

I think I'll order some Homo Sapiens. I always wanted some of those.

Also I wanted one of those.

Wouldn't it make more sense to tell the exact number of animals instead of telling how much they weigh?

oh I crack myself up

Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2006 7:12 am

I got a reply on my request for a shark. YESSSS!!!! He has a shark for me, and he can ship it fedex. SCORE!!!

I asked him how he could ship a live shark fedex. How could he keep the shark from eating the fedex guy? I'm waiting on an answer.

I seriously doubt there will be any trophy involved in this one, however the thought of receiving a great white shark via fedex (and keeping said shark in my swimming pool) continues to provide me amusement.

Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2006 12:31 pm

No trophy? Surely he can send you a photograph of it? Preferably one with with your lad holding it just to show how child friendly it is. Evil or Very Mad

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 5727

I really doubt anything will come of this, as the lad appears to be extremely lazy. I asked two questions in my initial response (how long have you been in the shark business, and how do you ship the shark), and all I got back was "send money wu, send money wu, ship fedex, send money wu." Yeah, he's still on script, but it's a really lazy script.

I really hope I can keep this one around for a while, as just the thought of someone shipping me a great white shark to keep in my swimming pool brings a large smile to my face.

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 5727

I take it back. Maybe this lad isn't so lazy. Here's the response I got just a few minutes ago:

Quote:

it can not eat the box, they are send by the sea boat, if you have to get it from your sea port in your country ,
if you have to send the money to western union money transfere, how can i get the money ,
i can send all the infromation from the bank and the fedex, if you have send the money

The shark cannot eat the box. That is nice to know. I seem to be confused though. I thought it was being sent fedex, but now it looks like it is being sent via sea boat. What in the hell is fedex's role in all of this? Plus, my character is in Nevada. How in the world am I going to get the shark from the sea port to my swimming pool in Nevada?

This one appears to be very very stupid.

Nevada? I got Israel, unless i got it wrong? Rolling Eyes

You obviously don't live in a coastal region, or you'd have seen the FedEx sea boats plying the coastlines of the world on a daily basis, delivering sharks to a needy world.

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 5727

Ah, yes. I forgot that it was fedex who developed the "shark proof box."

I just did a major slap on the lad for requesting funds so early in our purchasing process. I also sent him a list of questions that I had. These included "what do sharks eat", "I feed my puppy something called 'puppy chow.' Is there a food called 'shark chow', and if so, could I purchase that from him.", "what is the name of the shark" and so forth.

I also requested three letters of reference from people that he has sold sharks to in the past.

I have no idea where this one will lead, Yeah, I know, when you go into a bait you're supposed to have a goal in mind, but right now I'm having too much fun exchanging emails with a guy who is trying to make me believe that he is going to sell me a pet Great White Shark. If I can waste his time with trips to Western Union I'll be happy.

I do want a photo of my shark though.

Sweet he has my ice snakes in stock! I hope they don't melt during shipping.

Quote:

@beakums
You are very correct that anacondas can be purchased online. GIANT anacondas are another thing as they weigh 300 pounds or more full grown.

I think that he's having a bit of trouble finding my Polar Cows Sad

Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2006 4:14 pm

Well it only took the MUGU two days to respond.

The prices are not that bad

I'll see how much ferrets are going for. They are about $100.00 dollars in Arizona. Lets see what kind of a crook he is and the price he will give me.

Got mine back today:

Looks like he might have been distracted by the vicious nasty snake in his haste, he has forgotten his phone number, and the correct order for the words.

There are no Polar cows.

You should ask for Antartic Cows. Resend your order

Baiting Guru Joined: 07 Jul 2006 Posts: 5727

He's quite expensive on his emperor scorpions. You can buy them in pet stores for around 20 USD (really!).

Man, if I don't get my shark because of you knuckleheads I'm really going to be pissed off. You guys are going to have him chasing after Ice Snakes and Polar Cows, and he's going to forget about my shark.

I WANT MY GREAT WHITE SHARK! I've already added extra chlorine to my swimming pool in anticipation of my new pet.

Posted: Fri Aug 25, 2006 5:26 pm

I'm inquiring about centaurs. I could use them for breeding purposes... start up a little farm as a side business...

@beakum

Dont forget the salt!

And take a look at my post that started the Snakes on a Plane thread in General if you want to see a big snake Wink
