If we have a dealer frequently advertising on the Classifieds who can be 100% proven to be dishonest should we be able to stop that person from further advertising? Why should people like that be allowed to "feed" off others?? Please vote "Yes" or "No" and or post your comments.

I fully agree, but I think it is already done by Clark.
Which dealer are you talking about ?

Thanks, I will check with Clark  . I have given the dealer the opportunity to put things right but it appears that this will not happen. So I will wait a little bit longer before naming this person. The dealer is someone who to begin with will sell you a few smaller value specimens and all will go ok. But when you then "invest" a larger amount of money you are cheated... |

The person is Peter Jakubek. I have posted something on Trading Reports.

Well that should put the feline well and truly among the winged rats. The reason that the trading reports is now subject to a separate password is that someone accused Peter jakubek of cheating them. He threatened legal action against everyone (including this website) so Clark eventually get fed up with it and discontinued the trading reports. Due to the amount of interest he restarted them, but with a separate password.

Peter must no longer be allowed to operate amongst us without consequences for his actions. I have undeniable and conclusive evidence that is available to anyone who may wish to see to show dishonesty and misrepresentation.
Peter has also just cheated another very well respected member of this community. Sadly that person has just suffered a bereavment in the family but when able to will also be posting details of his bad experience.

I have also made a number of satisfactory purchases from Peter.
This can be quite typical in situations where you must always outlay money upront. A few smaller transactions and all goes well. You become more confident and then risk a higher sum of money. That is when things can and often do go wrong...

so lets say you bid one one of his specimens and get it much cheaper than he was expecting it to sell, is that when the trouble starts?

The events:
Peter offers me an A1+ perfect "top notch" highest possible quality female specimen of P. multicaudata grandiosus for 475 euro. While a great deal of money for a multicaudata female because it ssp grandiosus and not available elsewhere I am tempted.
Peter sends a photo of the specimen. I return the photo noting what appears to be a repair of the right tail. Peter assures me that the specimen has no repairs and reafirms - TOP NOTCH A1+ PERFECT HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY.
I offer 445 euro and Peter accepts.
The specimen is received and not one but both tails have been repaired!
When I question Peter he responds "This small flaw escaped my attention, when a buyer requests a discount = accepts the tiny flaws, in general sale of discounted specimens is final with no refunds".
When the discount was agreed to never was there any mention of accepting flaws!!
Peter's proposed solutions:
1. " You close one of your eyes and keep the specimen"
2. "Other slution is: "may you decide to want to acquire my perfect female, this exchnage of specimens would however be conditioned by additional cost at your end of 275Eu"
So, his first solution is that I close one of my eyes! His second solution is that I pay him an extra 275 euros to get a PERFECT TOP NOTCH specimen! A perfect specimen I believed to have purchased in the first place!
This experience clearly shows misrepresentation and dishonesty. Peter was asked if the specimen had been repaired and was even sent a photo pinpointing the area i question. He later claimed that "the small flaw escaped his attention". Finally, his request that I send a further 275 euro to get what I paid for (PERFECT TOP NOTCH SPECIMEN) is extortion!!
Peter refuses to refund the money and accept the return of the specimen or to exchange the specimen.

 <<Dishonest dealers should be castrated>> Hey who is talking of castration here. Are you sure you will ever forgive someone who takes away your manhood? I think this is a precious gift from God and no one human has the right to deprive a man of it. That said, i agree 100% that dishonest buyers/sellers should not be allowed to advertise once it is proven they are truelly dishonest. ::)Proflek

I have had a mirror episode as has Laurie regarding the exact same species. I went so far as to inquire if one tail was bent or missing a piece, if bent I would accept, if missing I would not. To this he replied it is bent only. I paid an extortionate amount of money admittedly but I wanted the specimnen. Once Laurie received his he identified repairs which had been vigorously denied!! I replied to Peter that although I have not received my specimen yet I hoped that he had not failed to omit any repairs to my specimen. His reply was " I do recall, that yoru female could had a reinforced tail with glue, no foreign part was aded "
This fact was omitted despite my inquiry about a questionable tail 1cm to the left!!I would call this deception by omission. I suggested to Peter that the only honourable solution to this is a full refund. He has yet to address this. I am away in Europe at a funeral. I hope this situation resolves itself amicably

I have not had any reply from Peter. I have examined the specimen and it has in fact 2 tails glued on and the forewing length is 71mm not 74mm as was described. Very deceitful!
