Loic Berder from France: dishonest: be careful !

[thanos]

Be careful with Loic Berder from France. He is now trying to sell his Goliathus through the Classified ads of this site, after being banned from ebay for bidding on his own items from multiple accounts and increasing the prices. You can read more in this thread:

insectnet.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=3777

I just learnt his name, saw his ad on here, and liked to warn everyone about his dishonesty.

Here is the ad:

Or, in case it will be deleted, it has as following:

Don't know him.

But outside of ebay he won't be able to bid on himself, so if you agree with his prices, I don't see any risk dealing with him...

[thanos]

Yes, but I wouldn't ever deal with someone who has been proved to be dishonest.

[jonathan]

I agree with Thanos. A Maltese saying, translated into English goes -
The wolf changes its hair, but not its nature.

I have bought from Loic on ebay and the transactions were very good, no problems.
