Did a trade with Joseph, and his end of the trade (a sexed pair of Princisia vanwaerebeki "Big"), arrived safe and sound. He even included a free Ergaula capucina ootheca! Overall he was a pleasure to do business with, and I would do business with him again! :)

Just did a trade with Joseph. Everything went great! Communication was good, and everything arrived safe and sound! Would do business with him again.

 
I also traded with Uncommonroachboy and got some giant form Princisia vanwaerebecki. Got 12 tiny nymphs and they all arrived safely. I'm excited to watch these little guys grow.

EDIT: Unfortunately, these were also identifed as hybrids so they're only really good as feeders.

Im a little late but I did trade with uncommonroachboy that went really well there was alot of communication, great packing, and over all everything on his end was great. :) I got 200 lobsters and 2 pure stock hisser groups. :) They were very healthy and active. A very refreshing expierince :)

 
Unfortunately, I must change my review I originally posted, from positive to negative.

I made a rather large trade to uncommonroachboy for several of his princisia vanwaerebecki. Well, it's been a few months now, and they are most definitely portentosa hybrids. I have had them identified by several very reliable sources. These look nothing like typical princisia vanwaerebecki. I believe he may be doing this intentionally, as when I asked for photos of the roaches I would be receiving, he sent pictures of what looked like pure princisia vanwaerebecki (according to google image search and well known online roach breeders). What I got instead where clearly hybrids, and NOT what was promised via pictures. I would definitely not do business with him.

In my defense, I have not intentionally sold/traded hybrids. This group was received from joerg and I did not let nymohs mature before I sold, I sold from the first few batches and still have yet to see mine mature. I assumed Joerg was reliable and the adults would produce the pure bloodlines they appear to be. My mistake. I will watch as my nymphs mature and show you guys what I find.

I completed a trade with uncommonroachboy in July of 2016. I sent several G. oblongonota and homemade roach chow in exchange for 2 breeding pairs of E. javanica and about 10 P. vanwaerecki nymphs. The exchange went well. He had great communication, prompt shipping and everyone arrived alive and healthy.

However, now that my P. vanwaerebecki are nearly adult, I can verify that they, too, are hybrids. A few have some very nice P. van coloration, but all of them lack the characteristic notched pronotum. I've been in contact with uncommonroachboy, and he offered to send a breeding pair of pure P. vans in the spring as a replacement. He actually asked about the P. vans before I had a chance to bring them up, and he was very apologetic. 

To his credit, the E. javanica are absolutely gorgeous - definitely the best Halloweens I've seen so far. They've had several births now, and the offspring are just as vivid and healthy as the adults.

Just did another big trade with Joseph, and everything went perfectly. I sent a hisser colony and hisser feeders to him in exchange for a few Polyphaga saussurei, a lovely brown-legged Scolopendra subspinipes and a subadult Mastigoproctus giganteus, which was in my top 3 on my wish list (yay!). They all arrived in great condition and his packaging job on the centipede and vinegaroon was phenomenal. Neither seemed stressed or sluggish upon arrival. He even sent extra substrate for the sand roaches should I need it down the road. One of my best exchanges to date. Will definitely be trading with him again.
