    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.....

    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....

Bad Guy Missmohawk66 (Bionca Martin) is not fallowing threw on trade!!!

How do i pull it up with the number. If i forward it to change the wording than it does not show her number anymore?
 
Honestly Barbie, because you couldn't really put together a comprehensive story throughout this whole deal and then mostly for wanting to still do a trade with this person after she blew you off already.

Just because she is in the wrong doesn't mean you aren't putting yourself on display here as well. I suggest that when you post on a public forum and especially something like the BOI, put a little thought and take some time to make sure that you are expressing yourself effectively. Just because you know what you're talking about does not mean that everyone else automatically does as well.

I tried to put it all in order stating the facts and showing evidence, everyone said they were getting a head ache and my computer was uploading the pictures very slowly:( I do agree with the idea to try and trade again, i was trying to make it work. But that does not make me incompetent. I will try to be more effective next time. Thank you
 
The only thing I question on your end is someone that new to make a trade for that much value and so many variables it was almost set up for failure
But I understand it's very exciting and we all make mistakes

Don't stress, Some of the boys here can be a little rough lol.

I do agree for next time tho, just take a deep breath and try to get all your proof together before you start posting. Don't post with your emotions. Break up your paragraphs a little to make it easier to read, and just keep in mind people will only know what you tell them or show them. So having everything together and ready for your very first post will make any future BOI you may need to make a lot smoother.

And when someone screws you over, just drop them. It's not worth putting yourself at risk with them again.

Keep your chin up.

The BOI can be a rough place for those that come in unprepared. In such a venue as this, where you'll be judged not only by the validity of your claim, but also by how well you present it, don't be afraid to ask someone you trust to help you organize your thoughts before presenting your case. A little extra effort and preparation can go a long way in determining how you're perceived. This isn't an attack, just some food for thought. The devil's in the details.
 
A toast to being prepared, and a :thumbsup: to those who look over the shoulders of and help and guide those in need.

Thanks everyone:) I will definitely be more prepared next time!! I truly hope that *through*

CHEERS
 
Barbara:

We've text back and forth as you were "fact finding" to conclude what appears to be an ending to this situation. I contacted Bionca about the fact you planned to start this post so she could defend herself.

I find it very suspicious that through all of this "drama" you seem very eager to continue to want to deal with Bionca despite her unwillingness to deal with you. I admit, Bionca did not show very well in this post. I have met her in person and she is young (something I feel reflects here in her posts). However, the person I met was very sweet and respectful. She has presented herself to me in this manner in person, in text and on numerous phone calls.

Unfortunately, not everyone "clicks" with one another. I am sure I rub plenty of people the wrong way. I am who I am, that's just life. I am sure the same can be said about you and even Bionca. I do not see where you are out anything except time. You bought a dragon which you have possession of. From our texts back and forth I've concluded you feel you can sell the dragon and atleast break even on it. I don't see where Bionca truly owes you anything other than an apology for wasting your time and maybe an explanation why she doesn't want to deal with you.

If you plan to deal with fauna much, be prepared for the fact that you will have about as many people backing out of deals or bad deals as you will good ones.
 
IMO you had one transction with her and it can not be enough to make a call about her charecter. It is a shame that this all happened but you do not string prople along for a week and then sell the dragons out from under them. Maybe it would be good to read all the facts in this 20 page thread!!
 
Young or not the way she acted on the BOI is what got her A bad rep and temp banned
Regardless of what happend it's one actions that really counts and hers were very poor
If you can't conduct business as a professional regardless of age then it's simple don't
She could of came on here and said sorry and then try to work things out but she didn't
She gave herself a bad rep and that's the sad fact

why can't it be a judgement for her character? I've had one dealing, you've had none right? Maybe after a week of texts and calls, she decided there just was something she didn't like about you.

20 pages, a few vulgar words and a week...all things that result in squat as the world turns. Sell the dragon and move on. Much better for you in the end to remove the stress.:thumbsup:

Some of us don't want squat.

I think I agree with you though that Barbara should move on when she feels that is the way to go, this transaction was so unpleasant. This thread will remain to light the way for any who might consider transactions with Bionca.

She is temporarily banned for use of profanity not business ethic from what I read.
Yes her actions were she chose not to act. No sick animals were exchanged. No funds stolen. No one was murdered. You might want to look around the BOI, much worse people haven't acquired 20 pages yet. One might think this has been blown a tad out of proportion.
 
This post is full of barbie's friends and fans that will defend her and her incompetence, its a real shame because that's not what the BOI is for. It's also not for forcing people to make unfair deals with you.
