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.

Last thing here before I go clean geckos: Maybe because he already answered your questions, you're just too caught up trying to make a big deal out of nothing that you didn't bother reading?
Let me make it very simple for you. All I did was read Jim's posts here and David Reid's comment on the other BOI. It was really that simple to piece together. Here we go, in 5 year old comprehension level:
Jim and David trade snakes
David is supposed to get a specter, tells Jim it looks like a YB
Jim says it came from Brock, he knows it's a specter because that's what he bought it as from Brock
David is persistent that it is not a specter.
Jim says fine, talk to Brock about it, he produced it and will tell you the same thing
Brock says yes I produced it and it's a specter, if it's not I'll send you 1.2 specters to make up for it
David breeds it and find out it's not a specter
Brock sends him 1.2 specters to make up for it
David decides Jim owes him $400 extra
Jim doesn't agree.
David says he wouldn't do business with Jim again.
Hopefully this alleviates any concerns or questions you may have had about a customer being "stiffed". You could have obtained all of that information from this thread and the other that you linked...that is, if you weren't so busy trying to pretend it was a huge deal because your other claim fell flat on its face.

Its pretty obvious that you love to hear yourself talk (see yourself type) Nick. Thanks for contributing in such a meaningful manner.
I've said my piece, and I feel like this thread has served its intended purpose.

Oh, the irony.

In the sense that they apparently did exchange animals, I suppose your statement isn't entirely untrue. Of course, if you're saying that the deal was between David and Jim, Jim's comment on the matter seems to refute that. It appears he's claiming that he simply shipped an animal that happened to be in his possession.

It does seem a bit odd that David apparently had no idea that he was supposedly just dealing with a middle man - seems like such a notoriously honest person would have disclosed that little tidbit. Wouldn't anyone want to know just where any sense of recourse would lie, before consummating a trade with someone who'd later claim they were just a broker? Guess we'll just keep ignoring that, though. Anyway, with the above quote in mind, it seems pretty hard to justify the following statement regarding the snake's ownership:

Sure seems that such an honest, reasonable person, who's such a great guy to deal with, probably would have been more open to the possibility that there was some mistake. Also seems that such a great guy wouldn't have eventually decided to pass the buck to someone else when he finally decided to take it more seriously, after it had apparently been brought up multiple times. We'll just add those aspects to the ignore list, too, I guess. Anyhoo, he'd actually referenced how the snake supposedly didn't belong to him twice:

Now, what was it you were saying about comprehension level, Nick...? How should I put this? I know:

Your interpretation of the conversation and events and reality are not coinciding with one another.

-----------------
Given the arguments that some of you are making, it seems that you're basing your stance on the premise that Jim's business with Frade came before someone who values integrity should have any reasonable expectation to avoid a known scammer. It seems hard to hinge your defense on the idea that what he received from Frade was payment for a "past debt," without knowing just when this debt was incurred. I mean, if the very idea of openly holding someone's associations against him is abhorrent to you, any timing-based rationaliztions seem more than a little misguided and pointless. If you're going to focus on the timing, that suggests a certain openness to changing your stance based on the time table. Does anyone know when this supposed debt came about? Would it make a difference to you if you came to know that it was more recent than some of you seem to be assuming?
I have no dog in this fight, and I probably wouldn't have posted such a thread. That said, I can very easily see how David could have sincerely thought he was doing the right thing by posting it, without any need for foolish talk of any kind of "witch hunt."

Great argument lol. I guess this response has just about as much substance as everything else you've posted (read:none). Like I said, the intention of this thread was already obvious, just figured I'd call you out on it. You're welcome .
Dan, I literally don't care to waste my time reading your block of nonsense. I don't have to bother to know that's all it is. That's all it ever is. I know it makes you feel better about yourself to type things out though, so I'm glad I could assist you in feeling like you matter.

Yeah, maybe that spiel will deflect notice from the egg on your face. Maybe the mods sending you karma for calling out the "turd" that I'm apparently widely considered to be will send some you more to sooth that bruised ego you're sporting.

Nick, I honestly feel like further dissecting your innately wrong assumptions and baseless hyperbole would be unfair and overkill at this point, since Dan has succinctly done so already.
Just curious, but were the one who left me negative Karm with the added comment of "get a life jacka**"? Because that would totally surprise me. /sarcasm

Nope, not me David. I haven't left you any feedback. And dan, try to have a little dignity. At least pretend it's not so easy to hurt your feelings

Hilarious that you ask that directly after the phrase "innately wrong assumptions" though lol. Good times

Hurt my feelings? Hell, you made my night! Your choice to make your moronic statements in lieu of actually acknowledging the fact that you flat-out misrepresented facts is just golden. That deflections and limp-wristed attacks mean more to you than admitting when you're clearly wrong is something potential customers may find interesting. Extrapolate away, people.
I know you're worked up to the point where you're going to camp out on here and probably keep spamming consecutive posts, but I've said all that needed saying. You may wanna work on that "comprehension level" thing.

Dan, no one in this thread agrees with you. Time to find a hobby. Maybe try reptiles, I personally find them to be quite a bit of fun. You might even find some good info on this site if you spend more time exploring the forums and less time acting like a professional BOI gnat.
I'm glad I didn't hurt your feelings, I was a little worried when you took something I said privately to you and couldn't help but respond to me publicly lol. One would almost think it bothered you so much that you couldn't contain it. I'm glad that's not the case though
If you want some suggestions on some cool reptiles feel free to send me a pm. I love chatting about different species with people, and I'm sure if you let me know your interests I could help you find something you'd like. Much more interesting than being annoying on the BOI all day, trust me . Well, maybe not for you, it seems to be all you know. We can work on it.
