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.

Beware of Nicholas Giavasis or "Colorado"
I have recently been contacted by Nicholas Giavasis or "Colorado" about a group purchase of ball pythons. I gave him a great package price and he continually tried knocking my price down an additional $50-100. Eventually, I told him that I was tired of him trying to rip me off and I blocked him after he started running his mouth. He says that he is 50, but acts like 5. He says the paypal payment would be made right away and of course nothing. Looks like there are several other people that have recently had the same problems with this jerk. Some how he makes it out that you are being rude, but the posts about him seem to be on the contrary. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH NICHOLAS GIAVASIS!! I also came to the conclusion that I shouldn't even do paypal with him cause he can receive my animals and then get his money back from paypal. He is not trustworthy at all! I have deleted the emails from this jerk before making this post, so I don't have them to include with this. I am sure he will change the emails and post them himself.

I'm curious why you started this thread, AFTER posting in two of the other ones about him?

I figured my comments here would have a better chance to be seen instead of being at the bottom of another list, that's all. I do have one email from him that went into my spam folder. I don't want to waste the time having to edit it from his bad language. I know if I edit something, I will be accused of changing the whole thing to my benefit.

Just as an FYI..your comments will have a 99.9% chance of being read being put on another thread about the same person as starting another...I think almost everybody on here knows what a horrible person this guy is so as much as I'm su re we'd love to make 90 threads saying so it's just taking up server space pointlessly 
Sorry about your drama with him. He's truly a sad individual.

I want to thank everyone for their support and understanding. I know I made a mistake....."Note to self", never, never, never ever spend any of the money from a sale until the deal is 100% handled.....I also learned that PayPal is not seller friendly, and anyone can change their mind and get their money back if they use paypal.....it doesn't matter what your Terms of Service are if they change their mind before they take delivery of the animals, they get their refund!!
Nick received his refund and continues to try and keep this going......
But I wanted to let everyone know Mr. Giavasis successfully received his $850 refund from PayPal....

While I can't speak to the particulars of this deal, I have done purchases with Nick in person and never had any problems.

You are probably one of the few lucky ones. I'm sure he won't run his mouth in person like he does in an email. With him acting like he did, I am glad he didn't get any of my animals.
