I suppose you were just trying to get me off your back for a while ?
Its now been two weeks again and no payment yet. I still don't understand why you would do this? If I have done you wrong or been anything but fair and patient with you just let me know what I have done to make you treat me like this? I have trusted you several times now to just pay me for the snakes you wanted and I don't know why you refuse to pay for them. As I see it you have snakes that need to be paid for or just send them back. Please do the right thing ASAP as I really don't want this to escalate to the next level. If something is not done about this within one more week from today I will just call it a loss on my part but I'm sure you will not be happy with the final out come. Please please finish this and lets move on!!
Sincerely,
Jim McDonald

Wow I don't know were to start.. You mussed be crazy !
First off if in fact you do have to males then I may have made a mistake in the sexing as they are a bit hard to sex when they are so small which would make me question whom ever else you had sex them as well but never the less I am by far the easiest person to deal with and all you would need to do would be to let me know if there was a issue of their sex and as I have already told you I am always happy to fix the matter ASAP. As for two males doing you no good then neither would one male so why would you just keep one unless you know that it is a female and you are trying to get out of this with only paying the male price and getting a female. As for me needing money, that just makes no since at all when I am trying to get you to just send me back both snakes and give you back your money of witch you seem to be having a hard time coming up with on your end !! And just to refresh you memory you stated in your first email (below) that you would send the second payment a week later.. Didn't happen !! Then over a month latter you wrote: (hey Jim I got my final check . I will be sending you the balance owed tomorrow afternoon. Sorry for the delay .) didn't happen !! You must be the one with money problems because now its been almost two months and you still need more time to send the money you owe me.
Please save your self some money and just send me back both snakes and I will send you back your money. Its just that easy, why go on and on?
Jim
PS you can call me now if you like.

Well to be honest with you I left the sexing part up to you . And then I had them sexed by 2 different people in the industry that are well known and they both came up with males so I quess the bottom line is you don't know how to sex snakes and your saleing snakes as pairs and then just sending what ever you have available . And as I said I would send the amount we agreed on from the start I'm not trying to make myself out to be right and I am not saying your not getting your final payment which should be $ 130.00 if you go by your ad but I'm not . I am just letting you know what you are doing to people that work hard for their money and exspect to get what they paid for not what you just want to put in the box to fill the order . You know if there was anyone I trusted and looked up to on kingsnake it was you but now i don't know what to say . i quess you need money real bad or something . i don't know . i know times are bad for the construction industry .anyway if you want to talk . let me know what time to call you we are 3 hours ahead and we will come to an agreement one way or another . if you want the extra male that's fine or if you want to wait alittle bit longer i will send you your cash . it is your call because like i said 2 males don't do me any good and they are 2 males i.

Your wife never said anything about waiting for a balance to be paid on a job!! She told me she would get the payment sent out at the end of the week or in a few days or something like that. That's why I like email so you cant change thing around to make yourself out to look like the good guy in this. Also I'm sure if I would have sent you to males then you would have let me know about it by now and I would have replaced one or refunded you the difference or what ever would have made things right for you. But once again I'm sure that's not the case and you are just trying to make thing look like I'm some how at fault. I have every email from you and I'm sure every one that sees them will agree that I have been ripped of by you and you are just trying to help your cause but its not going to happen for you. Its just a shame that you are bringing it to this! As I said you can call me and we can get things cleared up much faster so it doesn't get any worse but that would be up to you as I don't have your number..
Also at any time you can send me both snakes back and I would be happy to send you back the money you sent me so far. I would really rather you not have any of my snakes as it just associates as to each other and I would rather not have that. Let me know what you would like to do at this point? Jim

no responce ? i thought my wife called you personally and talked to you personally . isn't that a responce .i believe she told you we were waiting for a balance to be paid on a job .and she would let you know when we would send it .you were the one who insisted on sending both snakes at once so you didn't have to pay shipping twice and you even took off 20.00 if i agreed on it .i will send that email to refresh your memory.also considering the fact that i ordered a pair and got 2 males doesn't do me any good .but you don't see me threatening you about that do you .anyway you have about another week of waiting . so do what you got to do and contact everyone on kingsnake that you need to and i will respond to your bs . and send it to collections that's the first time i have heard that one . are you a business ?? and what was the price of 2 males ?400.00 not feeding and i sent 250.00 minus the 20.00 discount so that means i would owe you $130.00 with the way you are advertiseing for males. but see i am not like that i will send what i said i would send even know you didn't... anyway i will leave it at that and contact you like we said we would when we send it ----- Original Message -----

Still no payment and no reply to my last email. Not sure what the problem is but I don't think I care to continue dealing with this much longer and wasting my time sending email to you that get no responds. Next week I will be turning this over to a collection agency and starting to contact other people in the reptile business to let them know you are not good to deal with.

It was good to talk to your wife on the phone to let me know what was going on. I don't mean to sound harsh but if I don't have some communication then all I can assume is that you are not willing to deal with the situation any longer. I don't recall the date your wife said she was sending out the payment but as of today I have not received it. Please respond and let me know when it should be here. Thanks.

Are you really going to mess up your reputation and credit over not paying 250.00 ?
I told people you were ok to deal with and that I have only had good dealings with you.
But all that will be changed if I don't get paid by this week. Please do the right thing ASAP so this does not get to be a big mess!!

Sounds good Larry, but the shipping is going to kill me! If its ok with you could we ship them both at the same time? I will take off another 20.00 for you if we can do it that way so I don't have to pay the 50.00 to 60.00 for the second shipment a week latter. Or better still if you can send me half of the total payment (250.00) I would trust you to send the other 250.00 the next week and I would ship both snakes in the first shipment ! Let me know if that will work? Thanks.

Hi Jim , sorry for the delay I am just about finished with a big granite job and I am about to collect my final balance on it by Friday so I will get it out Saturday or no later than Monday and as I said I wanted to send another deposit on another pair . Just to let you know I am please to say they have both ate for me the darker one ate right out of the box twice ..all I did was scent the pinks with a brown anole and he went crazy on them. He eats every 3 days with no problem the other one took 1 pink scented with an anole later that night and has ate every 3rd day with the other one . It will only eat 1 each time as were the darker one eats 2 every time no problem. So a big thanks to you for such a nice pair anyway hope every thing is ok for you with all the fire stuff going on and I will let you know when I send the other money order thank you Larry

No problem Larry, as long as we can work it out the same way that would work out great! After I get the first payment on the second pair we can work out the shipping date ok? Also I got request for a inquiry on you a few days ago and I let them know that I have only had good dealings with you and that they should trust you as well.

I got the money order Larry. Do you want them shipped to the address on the fed ex ticket? Please confirm the address!! ASAP.
I will get them sent out on Wednesday to get to you on Thursday by 10:30 am your time. I will email you the tracking number tomorrow when they are on their way. Also when you send the next payment you can just send it through the mail and save yourself on the fed ex.
PS These ones some times take the longest to sell but can also be the best deal as well. I have sold more then one pair that did not feed the first few times I tried to feed them but fed just fine for the person that bought them from me. I think some times its just the food or the environment. And for only 500.00 shipping included, That's a great deal even if you do need to get them feeding on their own.
And they all have fed at least one time by holding the dead pinkie mouse up to their nose for a few minutes and then they eat it on their own from there. I have only tried scenting with toes so you might try a frog or fish(tuna). Let me know if you would like more info.
Thanks.
