VARNYARD...Mr.Bobby Hill

Wow, considering Bobby was going to be my go to guy if I ever needed a Tegu, this really puts things into perspective. Horrible way to conduct business and I'll be buying anywhere else before You Mr. Hill, the way you treated this customer was deplorable, and whoever stepped in to clean up his mess I applaud you.

As far as this issue is concerned, all I heard out of Bobby sounded to me like some sort of tap dancing that didn't explain his treatment of his customer but just tried to deflect the spotlight off of him. No, he basically thumbed his nose at a paying customer, in my opinion, claiming he will just keep most of the money and to hell with him.

All in all, it's a pretty risky MO for any business to demonstrate that money sent to them by a customer may be forfeited whether or not the business can deliver the goods in a timely fashion satisfactory to the customer or not.

Well shoot, I seem to have done it again.

What I meant to say was, "some people on this site." Generalizations, as in this case, are not always warranted.

Bobby, you really should take care of this.

And now, before I step in it again, I'm stepping away.

Bobby, I thought you said it best:

Jackals are scavengers that prey off the weak, right?

I applaud the community here for standing up for what's right, going above and beyond to help, find out truths/facts as best possible in sticky situations and of course the annonomys donor to our friend overseas...while the OP HAD options on his side of the ocean, he searched out ours and it went bad...reflecting bad not only on Bobby Hill but the Herp community, Tegu breeders here and this side of the ocean in general!
The "I'm just going to keep your cash because I can (insert some made up contract that never got signed here) and there's nothing you can do about it nana nana booboo"crap is baloney! Yes there are scammers out there and boy do they prey on the far away, nieve to steal money/goods, but the majority of people here (The States & Fauna) are GOOD. I hope that other site revokes his dirty shady privilege of editing the bad and people don't ever purchase from him. His way of handling such a situation is horrible customer service and then to attack the community publicly? Ew. Character and Ethics he seriously lacks.

In retrospect, that's now very funny, Nick

Jackal has fled the building.

Thanks. It's funny going through his old posts and seeing how much of a hypocrite he's been. BOI-soldier gone traitor when his name is on the line. Desertion at its finest. Reminds me of Dean Stemple ... speaking of which.

While I never found him to be overly intelligent or informed in most of his postings, the addition of "thief" to his list of adjectives genuinely surprises me.

Not particularly bright doesn't usually equal dishonest in my experience

I had previously posted boards on this matter, seems I spelled something wrong..? But yeah, I put $75 down for a B/W argentine tegu from Bobby in early June, he said they would hatch around the end of June and ship in in the end of July. Which it's now almost August and i've heard nothing back from him after numerous emails and phone calls that I made to him. I just think he should at least refund the customers their deposits when he can't deliver the goods.

I have the payment and put you on my books.

I have saved all the emails received from him when I initially put the money down. I can also post my Paypal recipe if needed. It was my first time buying from him, just sorry it turned out like this.
