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.

The issue is, they didn't ask for those replacements now, they immediately asked for those replacements, so there was not time lost when those requests were made. And there was much less trauma at that point. The other two parties tried to blackmail Andrew into giving up the nicer animals under threats of being dishonest about what happened and having the very emotional picture displayed on this thread. Demanding unfair compensation under threat of harm, I don't know if you have looked up the definition of blackmail, but that pretty well takes care of it.
Andrew did not handle himself or this situation properly, and has shown himself to be petty and spiteful in this situation. However, I still stand by my belief that if the uninvolved parties had remained uninvolved, the OP would have been made happy immediately.

Oh, there's no doubt that if the other two hadn't gotten involved it would've gone differently. I don't totally buy Andrew's reasoning, though. In the end he lost both his money and his reputation. Heavy price to pay for stubbornness.

Chris,
I have to disagree with you a little here. Regardless of other parties, Andrew had a simply way to make this right. A refund. If he did not want to send another animal of equal or better quality, a refund should have been sent. It is likely that he spent the money very quickly after getting it, and hence was unable to refund. In that case, bite the bullet and send a new animal or equal or better quality. If this issue happened with me, that is exactly what I would do. I would ignore other parties that were no involved, and simply send a replacement or a refund. Andrew has shown his true colors here, and as a result I personally would never buy from him, and I would never recommend others to do so either. It's very disappointing to see someone destroy their reputation over something like this, especially as they have profited rather well from Aztecs and could easily have replaced that animal. Very poor business ethics.

I have to agree with what Warren said. It would be no different than if I did a transaction with someone, there a problem, and I didn't honor my guarantee because some 3rd party mouthed off to me.

Warren, Rick, I don't believe you got the full meaning of my reply. Andrew completely screwed this whole thing up. I talked to him on the phone several times to try to get him to give a refund. That does not change that before Andrew even had time to do what was right, these guys attempted to blackmail him. My only point in replying was to clarify that there was, in fact, attempted blackmail on the third party's part.

I wasn't disagreeing with you Chris. My point was, it wasn't the BUYER that was doing the black mailing, it was third parties. So Andrew should have never treated the buyer that way.

Yes, I could see that. I want to know if Kevin ever actually physically received the money awarded in the judgement. If so was it paid to him in a lump sum or did he have to put a lien on his propery, did he have to garnesh wages?
Only Kevin can answer those questions.

And Kevin expressed a disinterest of remaining in the hobby following this ordeal, so I doubt he will respond.
Potts has the money and it will have or will get to Kevin one way or another, but how is up for speculation. I imagine had Kevin not gotten the money though, he would have commented here.

Once again, a few pages back, there is a link that Kevin posted. This link leads to the documentation for the time line of the proceedings.
The judgment ultimately defaulted in Kevin's favor for the maximum 5K he could claim.
