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.

It seems that Michelle's new Lawyer looked over everything and is taking no prisoners. Read the latest pdf that Michelle posted.

It's amazing that all of this could have been avoided if Ty had simply given Michelle the prize she won. Pretty astounding when you think about it.

Michelle is counter suing for defamation and claiming damages from Park holding an illegal raffle. The lawyer points out, that according to Florida law, an illegal raffle is punishable with a class 3 felony.
While Park hasn't been charged with one, if Michelle wins her countersuit it could lead to him being charged. I think that's how it works.

It's an example of stubbornness and pride, and what can happen when one takes them beyond the point of no return.

Thank you, I've only glanced at things from time to time and can't remember what I've read anymore.

I know this has been stated multiple times over and over almost ad naseum but this seems pretty simple to me. I have been in and out of the hobby for the last twenty years and maybe I’m naive but I’ve never heard of Ty Parks before this thread. After reading all of this I would never purchase anything from him and I would encourage all my friends to avoid him as well. Not that my opinion matters in the grand scheme of life but I don’t know how some people could even justify claiming that he is in the right here.

no matter who is right in this (I lean a particular way myself), it comes down to poor customer service. if ty holds himself as high in the hobby as he claims (and is) made out to be, he should have come to a resolution of some sort before this ballooned into a huge mess.
lets pretend ty was totally right in this and the op was totally wrong.....logic tells me (as a retail manager myself) that something can always be done to everyones satisfaction. to some degree there is resolve. but when you start calling your customer greedy and testing them (even if its warranted), you are creating a barrier that is almost impossible to mend short of giving in totally. sometimes its better to keep your mouth closed and offer resolution. pick your battles if you will. the cost of the tegu had he just given it to her or the runner up money would have been far less than the headache, let alone the financial burden of this.
I had no idea of who ty was prior to this but it would have been nice to a positive thread for him going above and beyond vs what this thread has become. customer service is important in any aspect of moving around money or services and in my opinion ty failed miserably at resolve. I cant fathom a scenario that I would ever end up in court like this in my professional life. perhaps I dread drama enough to be a good guy to begin with and not have to worry about the shadier parts of life that exist for some.
if ty (or anyone that reads this) can learn one simple thing...customer service....they will succeed. this situation is unnecessary for everyone. I commend the op for fighting for what she knows is right. that is unbelievable to me but I give mad props there!!!
we also might want to refrain from "ill never do business with XXXXX". id hate for anything to hurt someones defamation case later on. just a though.

id rather not get into to much detail and give someone a idea/firepower against another but simple comments like "I wouldn't buy XXXX from XXXX after reading this", etc etc.
I would think could be harmful if someone were to win a defamation case and claim loss revenue. it was just a thought. not singling anyone out or anything.

Defamation cases are extremely difficult to win. I believe there is a lot of harm in trying to hush public commentary just on the slight off chance of a win because it can give bad guys a way to whitewash their reps simply by threatening such a suit.
In addition, much of what has been said in this particular thread is either a recitation of the truth, or opinion, nether which support a defamation suit.
