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.

And maybe one day you roll the dice and your luck runs out. I don't see Dan handling you and your complaint any differently than he has the others. I think if you continue to do business with him, and eventually you have a legitimate complaint, you'll be lucky to catch some sympathy and assistance. I know I wouldn't offer you any. I'd be involved only to the extent of saying things like: "I told you so", "AHAHAHAHA", "You supported him, so tough LUCK", "Quit your whining, you knew what to expect". Stuff like that.
Yep, I'd find it very challenging not to laugh at someone for knowingly entering a transaction based on luck.

Chuck,
I don't enter transactions based on luck.
Sure, sometimes deals go into the crapper, and the best you can wish for is a good or agreeable outcome.
However, I am surprised by your character and attitude, I never would have thought you would be the one to say, "I told you so" etc.
You and I have a history of being at odd's, however, I have always admired your detective skill's and rooting out the facts that most people (including me) miss, in the printed word.
But, I would have NEVERin a bazillion years, thought you would take the attitude of "I told you so"! However, live and learn, as I must.
And...if a deal go's in the crapper btw Dan Scolaro and me, I'll deal with it in my own way. And everyone can best be sure I wouldn't go throught this site to solve the problem.

I didn't say that you did, you said you did. Here, I'll show you again.
You said:
" I guess I have also been lucky, as I have had nothing but positive transactions with Scolaro."
So, you're positive transactions with Dan, you feel, had something to do with luck. You feel lucky in the times you've dealt with Dan and that they all turned out positive.
When your luck runs out I'm going to laugh long and hard....long and hard.

Chuck, I said I GUESS I was lucky on my transactions with Dan Scolaro.
I never said I entered transactions "lucky" with anyone, including Dan Scolaro.
Your really nitpicking here bub. Ouija Boards, Vanna White, casino's: etc. don't count.
I have a suggestion, make a purchase with Dan, and if YOUR not happy with it, I'll pay for it. That's a challenge for you, buy an animal from him, and if your not happy with it, then I'll buy it from you, shipping and all, you have nothing to lose.

Sure you did bubba, and you're saying it again. Saying you "guess you got lucky" also says you could have been just as unlucky. What you're saying is that its just a gamble you are willing to take. More than likely because he had something you couldn't find anywhere else. There's lots of folks like you floating around, supporting the bad guys in this industry like you have Dan, and simply because he has something you desire and cant do without. Who cares how many people have been screwed so long as you got lucky and got what you wanted, right? right.

Randal, there is a great void between your ears. Did you ask Santa for trains again this year? Its brains, Randal, brains. You need BRAINS. Did you know I had a brother-in-law named Brian and when he signed his new drivers license once he signed it Brain? Swear to god. I didn't even know about it until a cop pulled him over one time and he nearly crapped himself laughing. The cop showed me and I asked him if he would give me a ride home from where he stopped us. I just didn't feel confident as a passenger riding with Brian anymore. The point is, you remind me a lot of him. He was full of challenges but they were mostly with himself.
Anyway...
This has nothing to do with my being happy about the animal I'd receive from Dan. If the animal was exactly what was advertised I don't see why I'd be unhappy at all.
This has all to do with Dan. Why would I give him my money? I wouldn't even give him your money, so why would I give him mine? There are just too many other good people I could purchase from, that I would feel so much more comfortable and confident transacting with. What does he have I ask that I need so desperately, that I couldn't acquire from someone more trustworthy, responsible and professional now or somewhere down the road in time? If he had everything that everyone needed and it couldn't be found anywhere else, I'd rather I just do without it.
It not about being happy with a nice animal - Dan has very, very nice looking animals that would make me very happy to own. Its about him. I think that's what you don't understand - because so far you've been lucky, bubba.
If you want to help anyone here please help Dan. Challenge him to go back to all of his bad guy posts and seek to find a resolution to both his and his customers satisfaction. If he respects you the way you seem to respect him, I cant see him refusing your challenge.

Your story is touching, however my point was, if you get a good animal from him, then, you might re-think your position on him.
Plus, the bonus is, your not out any money, and you can blast away all you want and I'll be right beside you. No harm, no foul.

So, if I buy an animal from Dan and the animal arrives fine, and I'm happy with the animal, I should re-think my position that he is a total scumbag for jerking some of his other customers around and denying them any resolution?
It seems to me that's what you're saying, bubba. So long as Dan keeps you happy in all your transactions its perfectly alright with you if he screws anyone else over.
Ya know, the bonus is and has always been your stupidity and you proving it time and time again here, bubba. It really cant get any better than this. Suggesting that I should allow Dan to buy me off with a good transaction so that I'll forget about all the other poor souls that have had bad ones with him. That would make me like you and you are absolute dog . And saying that I still feel like I'm insulting dogs.
Please warn those around you when you're ready to think so we can clear from the blast zone.
If you want to discuss this with me any further please open a new discussion thread in Hell. I don't want you crying about how I got you warning points for off topic posting, and I certainly don't think you're worth earning any for myself.
