    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....

You are a more forgiving person than I am. Not that I would have posted a "Bad Guy" thread, but because you are still trying to make her happy.
Something along the lines of..."You can't make all the people happy, all of the time" seems to be approiate in this situation.

in some cases a bad guy is needed. and in light of this i may post a bad guy on a transaction from last year just as a warning. im not seeking any money or snakes from him. just want everyone to know how he talked to me and made me feel like its my fault. it will speak volumes of what kind of person he is when things didnt go his way. he is not very active online but produces alot of stuff.
where would i post something like that? bad guy?

i can definitely make everyone happy haha i bet she is happy with the snakes she gets and she already said she is happy to have bought the female lol she bought the female for a lil over market price and got 14 babies plus she is getting a blue concinnus which was never part of the deal lol sometimes people want too much and it wouldnt be wise to make them happy with extra stuff and giving them what they want cause they will think they can do it again.

In the case of the "no money, no snakes" guy, I would definitely post a Bad Guy. Not just for yourself, but the community.

click on the red Board of Inquiry words & start a new thread.
 
I'll say this: I've never met you, or chatted with you, but based on your interactions here, when I do decide to pull the trigger on some Blues, I'd go right to you.

Unfortunately... that is the type of customer that pushed me out of selling turtles. You were more than accommodating.
 
I'm not much into the garters (but I DO have a thing for blue snakes)... and after reading this I would not hesitate to buy from you if I were to ever have the interest! You sir, have the patience of a saint.
 
In my opinion, Tommy has gone above and beyond in this situation. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him!

Agreed. The OP, however, not so much buy or sell to.

It's not helping that she high-tailed it out of here, too. Never came back to defend her point or address anyone's, or Tommy's, questions. It makes her complaint seem even more spurious and petty.

I'm sure she'll say the reptile community "cheated" her just like in the miniature cow community she was "cheated".

If the garter snake hobby is small, I imagine the mini cow community is smaller. On their website it says:

"Exuberance Farms no longer sells directly to the public. Questions are still welcome and guidance is offered, regarding miniature cattle."

Too many bridges burned?

Time to settle things.

If she refuses to communicate with you for safe return of the animals, an option might be to write her a cheque for their full market value and mail it to her. Then consider your hands washed.
 
I wonder if there is a way to IP ban someone from this site. Posting a slanderous post such as this and then bailing is B.S. I never sell only buy, but if I was in the business of selling and someone pulled this garbage on me I'd be livid. The woman who started this post comes across as bi-polar from the highs and lows in the entire conversation. Tommy, you've gone above and beyond. I would keep what she sent you and recompense for the time and possible damages she inflicted with the thread. You're good, I've never done business with you but will refer people to you when asked about Garters. You're a solid dude.
