    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I agree. Particulary when the buyer received this l lizard as a birthday gift.

What an opportunity it was for great PR, to maybe send a free lizard for the errors made, and a big happy birthday wish, that would have been a feel good moment and everyone would have come away a winner.

But instead of a winner, the seller reminds me of Weiner. Seriously, the now ruined politician who had everything, a tremendous future, and he wastes it for some crass behavior, sort of like the crass behavior that happened here.

And like this seller here apologized only to try to save his rep, but even politicians recognized that the apologies were not real, and that he was the sorriest most insincere excuse of a man around (until this seller here botched the birthday gift sale).

I believe in education, and in sending out into the world well prepared, ethical young men and women. As an older person, I think that it is important to make a future where our children and their children can have a better life.

If I was the buyer, I might think about talking to these folks, maybe even sending a link to this thread:

Thanks Lucille. As always, well said!

I have considered this but am unsure if it would get anything done, or if it may be in bad taste? I don't know...

really dude? Just cut the "I'm going to pay you, oh wait I'm not going to pay you" crap. You can't hold what OTHER PEOPLE say that makes you mad over Katie's head. If so, YOU are the one that is that much more PATHETIC then we all already thought.

Just pay her back and end it. Jeeze.
 
The fact that he is looking at this Thread right now and has NOTHING to say is mind blowing! I would think that at even his age he would have the integrity to follow through with what he says! It speaks volumes to his character as well as business practices. Enjoy the read Robert, I believe you will find that this BOI carries more weight than you give it credit for. You have succeeded in making it onto may peoples Do Not Buy From list. Sorry Katie that you had to deal with this. Hopefully, he will pull his head out soon.
 
I have not read the whole thread but want to insert this - The seller in this thread is no longer allowed to sell on Pangea Forums. His account has been modified so that he will not have the ability to post in the trade section. We do this with anyone that we know of that has earned a bad reputation here on the BOI.

It is a shame that this thread has gotten this crazy, I have had dealings with the buyer in the past and she has always been a pleasure to work with (In my opinion she is too damn nice). It is so sad that the seller had to act in a way that turned this into a what 27 - 28 page thread now.

Thank you, Dale!!

Pangea ROCKS!
 
Alright, he sent the $40 :)

Thanks for all the help everyone! Dale, you rock!

Robert, even though it took threatening to e-mail your school, I'm glad you came through. I hope you can learn from this and grow to be a better businessman.

Again, everyone, thanks so so much!

Uh huh


Robert

This is not resolved. You spun this out, told your buyer that she was harassing you when she was only standing up for herself, and how sad that she had to go through all this for a birthday gift.

I would never buy anything from you :NoNo:

Robert, you have some growing up to do. I hope you understand that I'm not saying that to put you down- what I AM saying is that if you want to do well in ANY business venture you're going to have to show a whole lot more responsibility and maturity in dealing with people than you did here. If you're not ready to do that yet, if you want to just have a happy-go-lucky next few years during college (like most students), you may want to seriously reconsider trying to run a business right now, before you irrevokably shoot yourself in the foot before you ever really get going... remember this stuff on the internet stays forever.

I personally would not have wanted to try and run a business during college. Too much other stuff going on!

I am very glad you did finally pay Katie back, and apologize. Good for you, that's finally the right thing to do.

That's my final 2cents.
