where to buy chams?
personally, i think your best three options are; 1. the better known commercial sites (most of the best of them are cf sponsors anyway), 2. cf members (there is a strong incentive for cf members to do fair and straightforward deals, 3. and to a lesser degree, fauna classifieds. many cf members also advertize on fc. also,(in addition to checking the boi) on fc you can find previous ads from the seller, see who posted inquiries right before the sale, and in most cases you can pm or email that person to see if they were the one who purchased, and if they were satisfied. once youve got things narrowed down, google the individual seller. bear in mind that anybody who has sold hundreds or even thousands of chams, is (realistically) likely to have at least a few negative comments. the important thing is that there is information to read, if a seller is so obscure that you cannot find anything out about them, then they are probably best avoided. looking up previous posts by somebody, often gives you a sense of the type of keeper that person is. if you find successful keepers of healthy chams of the kind you are interested in. you can always pm or email them to see if they will give up there source, or point you in the right direction. above all, use common sense. jmo
