Update

I just want to make an update about what really happened.
I had a 2000c/b Guyanan male red tail boa. I told him every way I can/and sent many pictures/my snake not 100% and priced him lower then normal $250. He said this is too much, but ready to trade a 7 mo old BRB one on one for him.
We shipped on the same day.
The next day he called me about my snake weight. He told me he want to keep him. I was very busy, and told him I will call him back later but he immediately started a tread about me on this board, and the same time he sent me a e-mail. He wanted $150 cash on the top of the trade, and he was threatening me every possible way he could/still wanted to keep my snake/
I offered him no cash, but two baby snakes/a 2002 Colombian red tail, or a 2002 Halloween phase amazon tree boa/
He had no case to claim anything, but I wanted to solve this peacefully.
He refused the extra babies, because he's not working with COLOMBIANS and AMAZONS.
Then he asked to trade back the snakes on my expenses, plus wanted $60 for his troubles. Of course I refused this ridicules deal. He wanted this trade, he was responsible for the extra shipping cost, but I gave him one more offer.
We split the shipping and trade the snakes back.
He said ok, but now he wanted the extra baby snake to clear my name on the board. At this point I refused to send him anything but his BRB. Then he finally agreed to send my snake back, but ask me to purchase his BRB for $150. I didn't want to do ANY BUSINESS WITH HIM ANY MORE, so I just sent his brb back to the address he gave me.
What of course he had a problem with the shipping too!
Accused me to put the snake in a damaged box, and the shipping company opened it as a suspicious package due to Sept. 11. Otherwise the snake arrived healthy and unharmed.
Then he posted a new tread with my name, and included my father name too.
JONATHAN, WHAT KIND OF A PERSON ARE YOU?

you said the snake was perfectly healthy with the only exception being a bite on the back that would heal up in a couple of sheds. spam_so, i went ahead with it because i trusted your judgement of 20 years experience even though the pics told a different story.
well, when i called you, i said i wanted to trade back. spam_you said you had to go take care of your dog and that you would call me back and we would discuss it later. spam_you said to hold on to it until we talked it out. spam_at that point, i began thinking about what i should do. spam_i didn't know. spam_so, i posted the SITUATION (not your name) on the BOI and asked for advice. spam_i never named you beyond your first name. spam_your last name, company, or even where you live were never brought up.
the reason i asked for $150 is because i felt the snake was worth about $100 and the $150 would bring it back up to your asking price and make it worth keeping. spam_makes sense to me. spam_you NEVER offered the snakes. spam_matter of fact, you said you were GOING to offer the snakes, but then withdrew the offer one line later in the same email. spam_and like i said in one of my other posts (in hindsight), why would i want another broken beat up toaster?
i asked you to trade back at your expense BECAUSE YOU LIED TO ME about the weight of the animal. spam_you also lied about the health because it's skin was in horrible condition. spam_very dry and brittle. spam_it sounded like it was flaking off. spam_if i had sent you a brb that was in "perfectly healthy condition" but in actuality showed up with it's head split in half, you would accuse me of lying too. spam_and you would want me to fix the problem at my expense too. spam_wouldn't you? spam_and i didn't want $60 for my troubles, i wanted $60 to cover shipping because... (here it comes again) YOU LIED!
i finally agreed that we trade back on our own expenses b/c i thought it was the only way i would ever get anything out of you. spam_then i shipped the animal and you didn't. spam_i was real worried at that point. spam_then came the next shipping day, again, no shipment. spam_finally on the third shipping day, you got it half way right and actually sent the package.
i didn't ask for the baby colombian to clear your name, i asked for it so that i could resell it and cover my shipping costs. spam_but, in hindsight, i'm glad i didn't. spam_who knows how that baby would have showed up to my door and if i had resold it, it could have made me look like a bad guy if the snake had died. spam_and also, i couldn't honestly sell a "letitia PHASE" colombian BCI (can you say... misrepresentation? spam_i can, there is NO SUCH THING as a letitia BCI, they are BCC).
i later asked you to purchase the brb because i didn't want another snake in my possession that had been through your hands. spam_plain and simple.
someone saw the thread that had purchased from me before and knew the quality of the animals i sell and that i DON'T LIE about my animals and he said he would purchase it for $150. spam_so, i sold it to him and had you ship to him. spam_well, after the snake arrived (after not being shipped the day you said you would), i contacted him to see how things with the snake were and he told me the story of the shipping problem. spam_i just retold the story i was told. spam_airborne express confronted him, he told me, and i confronted you. spam_again, plain and simple.
i posted a new thread because i wanted to warn everyone about you, just like everyone else on this site does.
what kind of a person am i? spam_well, i'm NOT the kind of person that lies and intentionally misrepresents an animal!
oh yeah, if that animal is CB '00, his health is seriously declining because he would have to be in good health to attain that length and now his body fat reserves are gone and he is on his way to deaths door unless something is done to get him back into health. spam_i had a lot of thoughts going through my head those few days, the main two were do i keep it or do i send it back. spam_i thought about the declining health of the animal and i didn't want it to die slowly in front of me and have you do the same to my animal, that's why i decided on a trade back.
oh, and your communication needs some improvement. spam_when we were making the deal, you always responded promptly, after we made the deal, it was a serious pain in the butt to get ahold of you. spam_you need to work on that.
anyway, i hope i am done with this thread. spam_you can come on here and attack me all you want. spam_but everyone knows what happens when people don't have a leg to stand on in an argument, they resort to insults and telling people they have problems in their head, that they mix up facts, talk out of their ass, are confused, simple minded, and that they need a life. spam_they don't stick to what really happened like the fact that
<span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>THEY LIED.</span>
and that is all this whole situation is about.
