Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

In the end
Its YOUR obligation to make certain that YOU receive what you pay for.
Apparently you were to busy to protect your own possessions. That is not Jays fault... Insofar as deliberately being sarcastic HERE in reference to Jays counting ability, I can imagine what you must have put in the emails to him!
If Jay does not respond, I seriously doubt its because he does not want to face your accusations as much as it is you being a smart ass about some of your remarks... I would not bother to respond either ...
I have the funny feeling that you mishandled this from the getgo... Jay is not a petty person, I know him, I supply him, and never had a problem...........He is reachable to speak to.
But you do not start a conversation by intimating that someone cannot count to 10 when in fact you are looking to get a replacement.... If I were you, I would learn how to be a bit more discreet in attempting to get this type of an issue resolved in your favor.............
Its your flippant attitude that needs to be addressed , and thats why Jay is not responding...

I know Jay very well....he's a good friend who lives very close to me.
I do know that after Daytona....I've haven't seen him that much.......
A few days after the show...him and his wife had another baby...(which his wife had some minor complications with delivery).
In addition 2 weeks ago, he moved out of his old warehouse into a new bigger place and he still doesn't have internet or phone there.
I know this because.... I'm also friends with a dude that works for him....(he helps me with my collection as well).
In fact, he still hasn't gotten everything out of the old place because of the stuff with his wife and baby.
I highly doubt he's dissing you on purpose. Give another week to finish getting settled....I'm sure he'll contact you back.
Can I ask why you didn't count the animals for yourself before you left his table? I would have and he's a friend.....But, I always count because I know mistakes can happen.
I'm sure he'll make it right for you.
D.

I got home at 8 pm Monday night.
I agree I should have VISUALY watched him place each snake in the bag but I was looking at a couple other animals at his table considering an additional purchase.
No I was never sarcastic in the email or on any of the phone calls I meerly asked if he could contact me about the rainbows and left my name and number each time.
The sarcasim is because I'm extreamely tired of trying to deal with Jay when he can't answer the phone or return a call.
If he felt I was trying to scam him why didn't he tell me to get bent rather than offering the refund for the missing animals?
I understand how things can come up that's why I gave him over a month to resolve the problem.
Knobtail; I see you are sticking up for Jay which tells me he's probably a decent guy. Maybe I had the rare bad deal but if you got shorted 2 snakes and the 8/ 10 you got had mites and the guy you bought them from was blowing you off what would you do??
I'd warn others so the same doesn't happen to them hence the post here.

Ok well, looks like Jay is not going to reply. (?)
What have we learned...?
Count your snakes before handing over the cash.

Oh now they have mites too! Really dude come on. Did you even look at what you were getting? I don't know why you would not want to "cherry" pick the babies yourself. I mean they are right their in front of you. This was not an online sell were you have to wait till they are mailed to see them for the first time.

Mike,
"I see you are sticking up for Jay which tells me he's probably a decent guy. Maybe I had the rare bad deal but if you got shorted 2 snakes and the 8/ 10 you got had mites and the guy you bought them from was blowing you off what would you do??

This is where we have a problem, and why these type of posts are more problematic then what you may intended..... He is a decent guy. From my dealings with him... He is also short on help, which may explain allot. Not that I am trying to make excuses, but you and I must reiterate:
Did not have a bad deal. Can I assume the snakes were acceptable ! When you saw them ! Secondly now the mite issue seems to have surfaced, and maybe I did not read it anywhere else is now a subject of concern, and finally , Mike would not and its my opinion, hide from anyone.. If so it has nothing to do with fear from being caught or hiding to explain why 2 snakes were missing in a bag ! It does not make sense.
But above everything else which ticks me off is that now you are attempting to become a loudspeaker to let everyone else know not to fall victim into the same predicament as you did..... and Mike................that is wrong !
The obvious answer is to allow things to simmer down, allow cool heads to prevail.... Apparently there may be some personal issues here with Jay.... I am only hypothicizing as I have not seen or spoken to him in a month..
But I think if in the near future a call is attempted on your part with a bit more humility and less dramatics, you may be pleasantly surprised.
One final point. The admission of you being lax may be enough of a red flag to Jay that maybe ..............just maybe the 2 snakes in question disapeared by escaping..... Its only a guess on my part... But certainly a reasonable conclusion whey buying in sight .... My apologies for my possible rudeness... JERRY

This whole thread can be summed up in a few words:
No emails, no receipt, no proof at all. Two missing snakes and then on page two of the thread they now have mites.
Come on, this thread does not meet the requirements for posting a Bad Guy Thread on the BOI.
I am not saying this didn't happen. I don't know anyone involved in this thread at all so I am not being biased. I am just telling you that proof like this really doesn't fly.
