• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

nate swanson is a bad dealer ,

he took payment and never shipped out

didnt reply to e mails or phone calls

then after a week of e mails and phone calls he replied and said he was broke didn't have money i ask him if we could work something out and no response

this is stealing ,please be aware of this guy and don't do business with him or swanees exotics.

he needs to take responsibility for his actions!!!!!!

:NoNo::angry:
 
Does he know about this thread? Do you have proof? Email's, texts, messages, anything at all will help your case. What is the timeline here? When did you first inquire? When did you pay? When was he supposed to ship, ect? All of this information will help you out quite a bit. Good luck!

Didn't you see the BAD GUY posts on this thief?? :NoNo::NoNo::NoNo::NoNo:
 
If you can get screenshots of any emails, or messages showing you have tried repeatedly to contact him. I hate to see this happening again, but from all the PM's and Facebook messages I have been getting in the past month from other people he is still at large.

Maybe this will help. Swanees Exotics is located in Everett, Washington (45 minutes from me) Here is a contact number for Sgt. Dan Johnson, with the Everett Police Dept. (425)-257-7491 customer support# (425)-257-7491

Make him take responsibility:dgrin:
 
Wow I can't believe I have seen so many of these recently. I was just vending at a local show with him, (not WITH him, but he was there too) - It is a shame that the local people visiting the shows don't know what goes on behind the scenes because they are supporting his bad dealings and they don't even know!! Most of the local vendors here have also had bad dealings with him, via trades, or even just how he simply treats people around him. I also do not like this guy as he tends to be very rude to people. I do not recommend doing business with this guy UNLESS you are local and can see him in person, even then he is still a shady guy and I would be very cautious of him.
 
I noticed that Swanee's is not on the vendor's list for the NWCB Expo, in October....
No posts on Craigslist.... The only place I have recently seen anything is Ebay Classifieds.
I would say flyers or a lemonade stand is next.
 
bad guy nate

I do not know how to copy and post all the email
and personal im just going to write it off as i should of know it was going to happen one day
i`v done business with the man for 3 years now an while he acts like a lil bitch alot of the time, until now iv always got my paycheck from him this is the first and last time il deal with him
he is the one losing out lucky for me this was one of the smaller transaction we had 2 more lined up that were for larger and much more money.its just a lack of respect by not responding to e mails or phone calls !
either way if i see him at a show ill have my payment in full .
 
Swanees shipped me dead dart frogs and didnt honor his live arrival guarantee and paypal scammed me with no refund offered 50 n store redit for 280 lost
 
kkane3742 send me all the info I can have it on here within the hour.
Corey757 if you have any emails post them up on this transaction.
Any emails or transaction receipts will help. We got to stop letting this guy get away with all this.
 
Wow big shocker here... Nate is a dirt bag. Makes his self look like a great guy and then rips people off. Still owes some little kids for the geckos he traded and never honored his word.. Beware of this guy...
 
UPDATE

I think it is very Sad that he has to be made to send your animals only after a BOI thread is posted. Hopefully more people will read these and stop doing business with him all together..
