    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ron,

Can you offer us any more information on this guy? There has to be at least 1,000 Mike Smiths out there. Maybe his location or an e-mail address to watch out for? Sorry to hear that you got burned, man.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
 
Sorry, but if you ship snakes to an auction winner before actually receiving the money, you're asking to be ripped off.  We have sold a number of animals on herpauction and won't ship until the money is in our hands.

Sorry to hear you got ripped off, but seriously...don't ship anything until you get what's coming to you first.
 
Ron,
    Does this auction look familiar, the one YOU never paid for or never answered any of my e-mails?  Talk about what goes around comes around, well it came around and smacked you hard.  You always said the money is in the mail two or three times, I just wasn't dumb enough to send the animals out on your word, now you know how it feels.  Too bad for you.

I WILL POST THIS   :    RONALD  ALLEN     IS A BAD BUYER

[email protected]    

HE HAS A NEW HOME  ADDRESS  BUT I WONT POST THAT JUST YET    UNTIL HE  MESSES  UP BAD  
SO CONSIDER THIS A WARNING  DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO DO BUSINESS WITH RONALD   YOU MAKE MORE MONEY KEEPING WHAT UR SELLING  THEN WAITING FOR HIM ...

I HAVE THE PAYPAL   MESSAGE SAYING YOUR ECHECK BOUNCED   AND I HAVE OUR ARRANGEMENTS      ON EMAIL  FOR WHAT YOU DID ANSWER   ......  

SURE AS HELL GLAD I SMARTER THEN THE AVERAGE BEAR  CAUSE  IF I SENT THEM OUT   ,  AND IT BOUNCED  ,    
YOU WOULD HAVE NO PLACE TO  HIDE I WOULD HAVE FOUND YOU ..............................


"BEWARE  OF THIS BUYER   DONT EVER SEND ANYTHING  UNTIL HE PAYS FOR IT IN FULL "

Ron, Just a suggestion that before you post a bad guy thread on someone else perhaps you should hide those skeletons in the closet a little better. Although our situation was finally resolved and I'm thankful for that I had some rather interesting moments with you, remember? Here's the link:

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/cgi-bin....f695985

It seems to me it's now payback time but I am sorry you lost out just the same.
 
well i dont know what i can say or do to make things right but i had an echeck bounce from paypal and when shawn emailed me and told me about it i tryed to get him his money but by that time he had wrote this about me saying( i am a bad buyer ) and now i dont see the point because people read this and there mind is already made up so shawn and frank email me so i can pay you what is owed or just let me know what i can do to make everything right  


                          ron allen
 
well Ron thats fine   if you want to make it right  then  i have no probs with that  but  until then i cannot and will not   reverse my post  
JUST TO MAKE THINGS CLEAR  
when i found out your echeck bounced monday morning  
i spent all day trying to contact you and then all the way up till tuesday   evening trying to contact you  
and all i got was  when i instant messaged you  you signed off on me  instead of answering back
then when IM fell through i emailed  like 5 emails
so i tried my ass  off to get in touch with you and all i got was cold shoulder and no responses ...  and when u said u never recieved anything from me  ,i know    for a fact paypal sent u a notice   letting you know  that your check had bounced ...


But like i said  you make good  on what u started  
i ll repost  another   reply  in your favor for following through but till  i see this done   i wont  reverse my decision  on what i posted  cause as of right now you have wasted my time and  efforts  to make this  a smooth and easy transaction  .....  so i leave it up to you

shawn

p.s.
you say u never get my emails  so you know my instant messaging  name you can contact me   by that to resolve this issue
 
Ron,
      Yeah go ahead send me a check, ha ha ha ha ha lol!!!
How many times have i said that concerning you?   I won't post positive comments about you, you knew you won the bid.   You had your chance with me.  I never want to do business with you again.  
   Also, you act like you didn't know you screwed up and are now trying to make it right, you read my e-mails, you got my messages and you decided not to reply.  This is not good business not to keep in contact, but i am sure this is no surprise to you.  
    Let's just say you slither with the best of them.
 
ok  to start this off   its a shame   that it took my post to get the deal  completed    ronald   ......  but as i promised  to you   if you made good and finished  the deal through   i would retract my bad buyer comment  about  you and that is what i am doing  now  

Ronald Allen  is no longer in my book a BAD BUYER  
he after  the ordeal   he made good on the echeck that bounced    and sent payment  like he promised  via money order  ... to take care and finish   our deal   so in my book  when a person makes good on the deal they agreed to   then they are a   good buyer

so my last post   i retract     what i said    i no longer think of ronald   as a problem  but a future customer  ( which isnt allowed to send me echecks anymore   lmaoooo  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> )

but  i willnot hold the incident  over him  its now in the past and we can move into the future  so RONALD  ifyou want to do more business with me  you are very much welcome to  and next time we can make sure   it goes alot smoother  .....

thanks  
shawn
 
Well Shawn,
     I bet you will think twice about doing business with him again.  To me that cannot be a positive on his end, no matter what.  I am sure he has not made all deals right with other buyers.  I feel that you can't turn it around that quick.  I certainly won't be buying from him, because of what I have learned here.

Torie Miller
 
well torie  

i guess  u didnt read my post very well  he made good with me  i hold no gruges    for that simple fact  i will continue  to sell to him if he so chooses  he made good with me end  of story ........... its  between him and the others  that he has not     finished with to make their choice wether to deal with ronald  again ,  myself will be happy to sell to him in the future  if he so chooses to purchase from me again  ...but  things will be   alot smoother  then what has transpired  ...

thanks
shawn
 
OK, Great for you shawn! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
