What the hell kind of flawed mentality is that? That really sucks you got ripped of man, but if someone like hhmoore, who is a moderator and sees these good/bad guy threads day in and day out told me to avoid dealing with someone, Id take that advice. Too many good folks out there to risk a bad deal.

Dan that is exactly what he said to me about the Savannah he said he received it dead when i know i shipped a healthy animal and he missed the signing of the package which seems like a more probably cause of the death, it it was even dead.

I'll leave out the obligatory "you should have listened to Harald" commentary. Given Mr. Rooney's past actions on this site and his refusal to supply a picture, I doubt there's going to be a hell of a lot of demand for proof on your part. However, you should probably post the emails w/headers where he asks you to ship and any relevant subsequent replies. If I were you, I'd keep my eyes on the various classifieds sites looking for any ads this guy posts. He seemed to be the kind of dumbass that might try to sell something he claimed had died in transit.

I feel it's true that you got ripped off, animal is either dead or not, who knows. "Nitro" should be accountable for that.

I also feel that you could have avoided this whole mess in the first place, too. One of those things to learn is "An ounce of prevention saves a pound of cure"

Nitro is still liable, but you should listen more.

If so, I was always curious as to how that ended up playing out. I tried to go back and find the ad, but I'm guessing it was deleted at some point.

That is the situation I was referring to, but I don't feel it is my place to post the details (despite capplegate sending me all the PMs). I believe Nik did end up deleting that ad, but I have been waiting for Chris to post...because resurrecting it would pointless without his story as evidence of the lies)

Max,
It sucks that you got ripped off...but he's still a kid, so maybe karma will still bite him on the ass. After all, Google can be a when things like this thread come up in a routine search.
On this site, he had listed his location as Cali...until he got called on it (combination of IP locator + requesting shipping quotes with an Illinois zip code).
Plug his email (nik.rooney@yahoo.com) into myspace, and this comes up:
http://www.myspace.com/rooney_moutian

Search Nik Rooney + Illinois, and you get this:

Max - have you notified Nik of this thread?

In an email i told him that the people on fauna would love to hear about this, so if that counts than yes.

You should probably send him a link.
Could you post the emails, please?

yes, do u want all of them? or just the ones with like real meaning because theres probably about 50
