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 am not saying that you will always succeed, but one should certainly always strive for this. I guess that is why I am confused about why are upset about Ty trying to test Michelle. I know if I had seconds thoughts about selling someone an animal I would certainly try to apply some sort of test to gauge their worthyness. Now was this Ty's intention? Only he can say for sure.

If this were the case, which I am very doubtful but I am no mind reader so I will give the benefit of the doubt, then Ty had included a cash payout in the raffle terms. If he was at all concerned about the safety of the animal in Michelle's care (which again, I highly doubt) then why would he be trying to force her to take another breeder's Tegu over the money she was rightly owed (as per his own terms). Seems a simple solution to pay out the cash if the animal's welfare was his concern, rather than his own ego. It is a good point, however it's a point more against Ty than for.

Sure it may have not been the most effective or relevant test, but you are judging him on the fact that he attempted to test her not the way he tested her. Therefore it is relevant and can not discount it. I am not saying that he went about it correctly, but I can understand his mind set. I am of the opinion he is good person that made mistakes, much like Michelle. This is in contrast to many who would rather say it is all on Ty and he is a terrible person.

sorry to Quote myself but this has been bugging me since the start, it might have been mentioned before, can't remember.
but if he was willing to buy someone else's with his own $$ and the winner did not want that and preferred he respect his terms, then he should have just sent her the $$$ that he was going to give that other breeder anyways.. (he could not get them in the end anyways) WHY would he not do this ?? unless his breeder was cheaper or they ended up being imports ?? how would she know the difference Ty said that himself at one point and she would have never known..
so really, who is the greedy one ??

I agree he should have paid and be done with but again his pride got him.

Meso would not Michelle wanting to know lineage or background say something about her as a keeper and Ty not providing that could be considered a red flag at which point perhaps more due diligence is in order. Hiding the lineage of an animal to find out the character of the recipient is absolutely absurd.

then please clearly state what you think her mistake was ?? other than not trusting him after he told her he could have switched them with another breeder and she would have never known, or rightfully telling him hat it seemed shady because he wanted to switch the terms after the winners are named.

If you are saying he made mistakes, how would you propose he fix those errors?

Life is too short, I believe both Michelle and Ty are decent people caught up in an emotional misunderstanding. Ty can be magnanimous and drop his lawsuit and give Michelle a tegu. Both parties agree to drop any future litigation against the other.

How do you equate his "tests" as a way to ensure she knew what she was doing in caring for the animal? Your attempting to set up a straw man argument as a way to justify the denial of the animal to the OP. The "tests" Ty used in now way supplied any indication of her ability to care for the animal.

You do realize that your continuing to attempt to excuse Ty and your diversion about it being a live animal has nothing to do with Ty not honoring the raffle terms or being a "good guy". Your argument in this case has no merit as at no time did any evidence of any conversation occur over the ability to care for the animal by the OP. Continue to toss up straw man arguments but don''t be surprised if they are shown to be flimsy excuses.

I think this idea has a lot of merit. Both parties would gain from such a solution.
