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.

I was always curious as to why Ralph never blasted him for tanking prices last year.

Great point Mark!!
Also another question, was Joe's donations to the schools tax deductable? You bet they were.

Just a minor correction here. A Dodge Viper is NOT a van. Not even close.
THIS is a Dodge Viper (price for anything newer than about 4 years old in excellent condition will be in the $60K++ range)..........

Using the fact that he got Ralph a van at a great price makes the whole deal moot, no credit. When you do it for acknowledgment, while it counts to many, in the big picture, well...MY big picture which I know is shared by some, it counts not at all.

Wes, I am in agreement with you. I wasn't trying to state that Joe would be an automatic "Good Guy" if he donated thousands of dollars...I was asking how that could be compared to giving a single person a "great deal" on a luxury vehicle...Which is how I read Rick's post when he was commending Joe for his "good deeds."
In no way shape or form did I mean that I think Joe could redeem himself by throwing money around.

Guys, this thread is about Rick Denmon - Ball Boutique, who has stated that he is not Joe's partner. So unless there is evidence, not rumor and conjecture, to the contrary, Joe's name should stop coming up in this thread. IMO

Every single one of my dealings with Rick has been a positive one. Regardless of his opinion on Joe, Rick's service (which is the subject on hand here) is outstanding. Rick is always there to answer a question, concern, and give an honest answer.
And on a side note, real friends don't let real friends drive Vipers. Everyone knows the real horespower is with TT 2JZ Supras.

Yea, he has also been known to stretch the truth a bit. What happen to the thousands of snakes he claimed to have? I talked to the mighty Wes, the most they had at any one time was 250 animals, most of them were hets or normal babies. So was it all a lie?
Yea, ok, I guess that is why Wes was complaining about your Joe selling all of his (Wes's) breeders.
Yea, like charging 14,000.00 for a pastel and then dropping the price the following spring to 700.00, what a real nice guy. LMAO,
Now how can you have (Quality) when you don't even have quantity? They did not even have the animals to fill the orders. Do you have the animals? Or are you and Joe planning the (Big Buy)???
Oh we know, we all seen his sickening video. What a charmer, lol. Also how’s his girl doing? Is Joe taking trips to the prison to see his lady love Wendy Chlids, the scammer he loved so much?
Now that sounds like a Joe line there.....
You might need that pension, the whole Joe thing is not going to fly in our hobby, we get tired of scammers, and we tend to do our best to shut them down.
Thanks Again,
No, thank you for answering the question on your partner Joe, a simple yes would have been enough.

Sorry to take this off topic again, but I have a question.
Bobby,
Does the highlighted statement above mean that you're going to try and ruin Rick's business and reputation based on rumors and hearsay, just like you tried to do in cooperation with the Dachius to Denise Latanzi?
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ghlight=denise
OR, do you have proof that Rick is lying. Do you have proof, that despite his statement to the contrary, he is, in FACT, currently partnered with Joe Capone?

I don't know a thing about Rick but I would be curious to find out where he got that long list of animals that he posted in the ad. In the past, all I have seen from him are ads for possible hets randomly on KS. Just asking...

Thats funny monkeywrench133!! You tell me?
That said, I have a problem with people who think scammers are good guys.
As for Dachiu, they still have many questions they choose not to answer and Denise was all Vickie, everyone knows this. Or is it you are too blind to see a little of the light.
As for you Erin Goldbach, yet again calling the pot black? You bet ya, you are quite the expert, the pot is still the pot my friend..
