POSITIVE!
I just got my G. pulchra today from David and it was well packed, healthy and in great shape. I highly recommend DavidRS! _________________ "They call me MISTER Meat!"
Wow, how could I have forgotten to drop a review in here for Crazy Dave? I got a G pulchra from him and a Avic (Peru Purple) and both spiders are a lot nicer than David himself. Less fussy eaters too. I'm a happy guy. (but I ain't gettin' no leeches.) _________________ "I hold your opinion above all others, tribe elder." - Neshan W. Sarkisian
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.
For the record, I got an Emperor Scorpion and another Flat Rock Scorpion from Crazy Dave at the last BBBQ, and both are healthy and thriving. All his animals appear to be very well cared for and in excellent condition. I would definitely do business with him again! :-)

I have finally decided to do this after no response from Dave for over a month I inquired about purchasing a pair of L parahybana David had so he said ill sell them for 225.00 shipped and i agreed and i payed on Dec 4th and Dave never got back to me has yet to explain himself or issue a Refund or offer to send the T's i called Lauryn his daughter and all i get there is ill have him call you and nothing i feel he is just ignoring me at this point and i really feel he should let me know what's going on i understood he had some troubles and would have waited had he gave me some sort of response instead he ignores it and i feel ripped off here just thought i would share this i have never had a bad dealing with David i trusted him and he did this at this point i will never recommend him to anyone until he contacts me to make this right and to top this all off he also sold me a T infested with Nematodes had this only been the case with my order i would understand but if it happened to someone else around the same time i believe he was just intentionally selling sick and weak inverts I PERSONALLY CAN SAY I WOULD NOT EVER USE HIM AGAIN AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST NO ONE ELSE TO UNTIL HE MAKES THINGS RIGHT

After much thought, It saddens me to do this to a member but my patience has run out. Please keep in mind that I have done everything to resolve this matter before posting but you all need to know this so you do not have the misfortune of getting infected animals.
This may come as shock to many of you(or maybe not) but the nematode infested tarantulas I described in a thread awhile back came from Dave. The nematodes did not magically appear and they do take awhile to manifest themselves. Many of you have seen how clean my set up is and would agree that I am extremely a neat freak.
They all were from tarantulas that I bought from Dave around the same time. None of my other collection was comprised. The first issue was from my P. cancerides male which never ate under my care. He had the nematodes when I bought him, I just didn’t know it. I showed many of you at the BBQ at Joe’s house and no one had a clue. I sent the photos to a friend who immediately identified the issue as nematodes. Soon after, I lost 3 more tarantulas and 1 scorpion. Yes, scorpions can be infested with nematodes. I saw the nematodes come out of my King baboon and the scorpion. The other spiders just showed the symptoms of nematodes.
I also want to note that I never had flies much less a phorid flies until I bought the P. cancerides from Dave. Due to my lack of knowledge at the time, I thought they were fruit flies and I was uneducated about nematodes.
I immediately contacted Dave at the end of November apprising him of the situation. He responded stating that this could not have come at a worse time, admitted to the nematode situation, said he was suspending all sales and that he would recoup my cost or replace my spiders. However, He never once in his email apologized to me.
I have sent numerous emails (all documented) with no response over the course of the past few months. I have contacted his daughter and she told me she would have her Dad get in contact with me. I have emailed Dave, sent text messages and called with no response. I am now going on 3 months since the nematode situation without a resolution. I also sent him a payment request from Paypal so that he could just pay me for my loss without having to make contact with me.
I have since then replaced my spiders out of my own pocket due to his lack of response. I still have to replace one but that will cost me $25 for the spider and $25 for shipping. No one has a sling locally.
I saw Dave at the Pomona show and he still did not apologize and he rambled on about how he had to clean out his garage and about his *loss.* What about my loss? Unfortunately, I did not get to discuss anything further with him because several people started showing up at his table. I was not about to make a scene.
I encourage you all to please read his Mission Statement:
With all this said, I am sure many of you may choose not to speak to me anymore and that is fine. I am the one that suffered the loss of tarantulas that did not deserve to die NOT to mention the huge monetary loss (hundreds of dollars).
I have done everything I could in my power to come in contact with Dave and I am being ignored.
I have tried to keep this hidden and to protect Dave under the assumption he was going to make this right.
I know he has been sick and I have been sympathetic to his situation. However, he has had plenty of time to make this right. He was well enough to attend the Pomona show so in my opinion he is well enough to take a moment to refund what I have lost.
I will remove this post once Dave has done the right thing by refunding the amount of my replacement tarantulas and the replacement substrate. If I hear nothing from Dave this week, I will be seeking other avenues to recoup my losses.

We at scabies try to stay as netural as possible, wether it's a member of this site or any other site. I will not let this get out of control, so unless you have a direct transaction with any of the dealers in this section please keep any unreasonable comments to your self....

is also B/S if his finest is nematode infested inverts then yes he is truthful i mean he put mine and other customers entire collection at risk it says give him a chance to fix what was wrong well it's more like give him a chance to lie and and buy time so point Blank never use him he is buying time he states paypal payed me back but if he read the E-mail carefully he would see it states he had insufficient funds to complete payment back to me if he could read it says he didn't have enough to pay me back all i got was 34.35$
