Dan Scolaro bad guy.

Then go ahead and call him and ask him why he mentioned robbery and suffering. If you think he did this to explain his lost love of the hobby to someone he's angry at who robbed his son, they I would interject that view might be naive. And to think otherwise would disregard his skilled methods to cover/hide such implications within the letter. And what matters actually is how it was interpreted and conveyed to me. Regardless, the terms of purchase were for live arrival when delivered on time with express delivery service. They were not replacement nor refund if he killed one by over feeding it against my advice. Pretty plain and simple actually.

Dan,
How about you just quickly point me to those parts of this thread where you look good, cause I missed 'em ? Thanks in advance.

Dan, I also read and re-read that letter.....and all I see is his commentary on why he got out of the hepr hobby himself, scammers and thives. To think otherwise, I believe may be paranoia.

*herp hobby.....not hepr, obviously.

No, no no! It's obvious that the boy's father is just [i]so skilled[/b] at the art of making subtle, almost hidden threats that nobody except Dan can even percieve that they exist.

My company extended a live arrival guarantee to include a free 5th skink providing the buyer with 5 skinks for the discount price of 4 skinks.

Not paranoid, just simply not willing to consider and further extension of the guarantee after the buyers followed through on their threats to harm my companies reputation.

Dan

Thanks and I appreciate everyones input and suggestions, and despite I agreed to provide a free 5th specimen, that offer stood until I was bullied and threatened.

And it's not relevant/important if I did or did not misinterpret that letter. What's important is that the buyer did not succeed at numerous threats to extort funds.

But they weren't delivered on time.

I'd like to see the tracking info on the shipment.

Dan, there's a forest, and then there's trees. Penny wise and pound foolish ? I could go on, but it would only add to the drivel. Good luck getting this one behind you.

On the other hand, LOTS of people will bluff their butts off about filing a lawsuit up till the time they discover just exactly how expensive it is to do so. So what are the damages in this case? Enough for someone to spend $20 grand just to get some satisfaction? Most attorneys wouldn't put themselves in the position of having the judge ask them why they are wasting the court's time on such a frivolous affair. So if letters are even sent, the attorney is just trying to bluff the OP into settling for what their client wants. They would have NO intention of actually taking it into court.
