Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

I know this will fuel a fire again,have you had your first show yet ?do you know for sure how many vendors will be there ?how many customers ?Please do not take this the wrong way but why should I pay you $750. Now after you get up and running and could show me some numbers then I could decide if this is a fair price for advertising.I know he agreed to pay and I am not sure how all this will turn out.Again my opinion,did this really need to go here.Both of you are getting positve and negative results.

David is not my best friend in the whole world.

again how am I off base?

Of course its going to fuel the fire. The fact that he agreed to pay, and never did is the issue...not price agreed upon.

David said the price kept changing,I would sure like to hear the rest of his side of this.

IT DOESN'T MATTER. He agreed to pay this price. Period.


Sheesh.

And I am not a "friend" of Kelly....don't know her whatsoever....so I think that gives a bit of a benefit, as I could look at the information given with no bias or pre-judgement, or "favoritism", whatever you want to call it.

1) Your point is entirely moot. You may have not thought it was a fair price, but David did, as he agreed to pay it!

2) Nobody's asking you to pay the $750. So why are you acting like they are?

3) Why are you working so hard to undermine someone else's hard work? Why aren't you trying to support a fellow reptile show organizer?

Quite frankly, it appears as though you have a vendetta against the Kordeks, and I really have no idea why. Afraid to let someone new into the reptile show crowd? Your arguments are either baseless or off-topic, and your allegiance to David does make it seem as though you're best friends with him.

Yes and the check cashing customers agreed to pay 35% is that fair ? Probably not.

That is the first thing you have said that I think everyone here agrees with.

To be honest, in the two face to face conversations and one recent phone conversation i had with him...I like David too. He seemed like an on the ball go getter sort of guy. The problem is, in this situation, that is irrelevant. This is like any other deal gone bad. You either explain your side of the transaction or leave the court of public opinion to make a conclusion based on the only other info they have...that being supplied by the other half of the transaction.

Everyone involved in a dispute on this forum has those two options. The second one rarely works out well.

So would everyone else! This thread has been up long enough for 30 pages worth of posts, but he can't come give his side of the story yet? It's ridiculous! You're defending someone who obviously couldn't be bothered to defend himself. Why? Why are you so skeptical of the Kordeks? They appear to be honest hard-working people, and I would be extremely surprised if they've lied about any of this.
