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....

Thank you Robert!
Just received confirmation from Keith A that he has been in communication with Tony about his purchase and was sent a pic of a shipping label that was created for his Wednesday shipment of Alterna. I would appreciate getting my animal out also Tony.

Almost 3 months to finalize a deal? Was there any delay on your part Rodney to wrap this up in a timely manner? We all have different definitions of "timely manner", but I used to ship within a couple of days after a snake was sold. Why 3 months later?
Hello Robert,
He did not want to ship while it was so hot to which I agreed. I contacted him several weeks ago (Oct 22 - I would think sufficiently cool at this point on his end)asking to go ahead and ship because we are about to be in the opposite situation -too cold on my end.
Apparently he is working out of town during the week and then broke his phone etc- however, 3 weeks is ample time to find a window somewhere to ship.
I am disappointed that I can get no firm date for shipping yet effort is made to get a shipment to his latest customer.
I can appreciate the struggles that life can throw you BUT communicating and following up are the keys to conducting business correctly. If my phone was broken the first thing I would do would be to get a cheap Walmart track phone to hold me over.
I don't want anything other than the snake I bought sent in the perfect healthy condition he swore (150%) that it was in when I bought it or my money back.
I have been in communication with his wife today, thanks to Keith supplying her number and she requested that I text her the screen shot that I already posted above.I have received no response after I sent it.
I am still hopeful that we can conclude our transaction without difficulty.
Thanks-

Rodney, are you sure he still has the animal you paid for? The gaps in communication seem strange. PMs and emails can be used if texts and calls are out of order for a bit. He was logged in early today, for example. If he wanted to keep in touch, it is looking like that could have been achieved.
It has been the laying season, yes? The timing could be interesting. Overlap and all.

Thanks- I am at a total loss as to what is going on. Perhaps I should have been more aggressive looking for a shipping window however, he was adamant about not shipping in that season so I just sent occasional texts (mostly Alterna related as I used to breed Langtry and Hwy 277) to stay on his radar screen.
I am not pushy and waited for him to say it was a go when he was comfortable. It was hot here in Alabama -late in the summer we were still hitting 90's so caution is always my approach to shipping.
Hopefully he will come through.

I have sent a text on both Tony's cell number and his wife's( number supplied by Keith A) asking for confirmation for shipping her out on Monday. Keith is supposed to receive his Alterna pair early this wk so should be no problem to send my snake also??

"If" he wanted to, he could keep in touch. He logs in here everyday, yet remains silent rather than simply respond.

Wow....he lets it go months without shipping or communicating with you, then gets mad when you report him to Paypal? Alternaking has earned himself a spot on my definitely do not buy from list.
It took being reported/whatever to get him to finally respond to his customer. Noteworthy.

This is a person to stay far away from,after reading this thread he seems to have little regard to his customers time and money and cares little about keeping his customers posted as to the important things that make up a good seller.
