DTS Herps-buyer beware!!!

Especially when it doesn't involve another person with a complaint.

I wonder if everyone (Example) who has had bad dealings with Dan through Kingsnake wrote and complained about DTS and Dan, would Kingsnake still allow him to have an account?

I bring this up only because Kingsnake might want to know what Dan is selling and doing to people who find his adds through Kingsnake as the OP of this topic did. I wonder if Kingsnake even cares? Do they just let people like Dan run wild on their classifieds? Even Ebay police their users and try to make it enjoyable for all and have ways to fish out the scum.

Wow Scott! You must really have a hard-on for Dan!

Instead of asking BOI members about Kingsnake.com, why not email Jeff Barringer at Kingsnake and complain to him? You may be correct! Kingsnake.com MIGHT want to know what's going on here in the BOI regarding Dan Scolaro!

Here's a start. email Jeff at
Jeffb@kingsnake.com
and make your (or anyone) complaint there.

I'm pretty sure Rich (webslave) would prefer you take your kingsnake.com business)" over there.

For the record, and I'm sure that anyone that know's how I feel about Scolaro, yes, it's true, I always had GREAT dealings with him, snakes that I purchased were outstanding and represented as advertised. However, the caveat, that was 2 years ago. He doesn't offer anything that I am working with now, but if he did, I would purchase it from him due to past transactions with me.
Scott, maybe instead of taking your complaints to the BOI, or Venomous.org about Dan, you should call him of the phone and air out your problems with him. And I would suggest that to ANYONE here that has a complaint/problem with him, because, as I stated long ago, only chickenshits take "pot-shots" at someone who has lost the ability to post here, (by either their own actions or a moderator who let their emotions be persuaded by "popular opinion" of "regulars" who post on the BOI)
That's just the way it is, so I suggest you take my 2 cents and deposit it in your bank! (you might need it later)

Taking potshots at the moderators, now, Randall?

sorry - too many l's

no Harold, but in the past I believe moderators have been persuaded by members to "come down" on the opposers side. Tis, only my opinion.

oop's Harold

I'd have to agree with you here, Randal.

That's all very nice, but it's been said many times that it's not how many good deals a seller has.....you know the rest.

I completely agree with your statement about taking "pot-shots" at someone who doesn't have the ability to defend themselves, which is why I generally try not to add to threads such as these...especially when no new information is being presented.

As for speaking to him on the phone, I'd also have to agree that he is very friendly and personable. The problem arose when I posted about our positive conversation here on the BOI. It was shortly thereafter that I pointed out GLARING inconsistencies between what he had told me and what was posted publicly. After that, he wasn't so friendly...in fact, he launched a few personal attacks in retaliation. So, nope, I don't need to call him again. The way he's conducted himself while knowing all eyes were watching is all the information I need about his character.

I do have to say, however, that I respect your steadfastness in his defense. You know you're swimming upstream, but go to bat for someone you personally trust anyway. Hopefully this affiliation doesn't come back to bite you.
