    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

I’ve built computers for years professionally. Have one posted on marketplace locally that I built, figured what could hurt posting it here for trade for animals to help fund new projects.

Open to offers equaling similar amounts, willing to negotiate for the right species (s). I have all proper permits needed for venomous species.

Open mostly to trades, not looking for cash sale.

Everyone knows prebuilts are scams frfr. I could build that SAME system with a WAY better MB than yours for probably half that price lol

Lol, have you priced out the fittings? The waterblock? Any of the water cooling components? Sorry because that alone was $2000 directly from the manufacturer. Guess we’re only counting the main components of the pc, no water cooling stuff right? Right. Thanks dude but seems kinda ignorant to say you could build it for half the price. Would love to see you do it sir. More action, less words:)

Again, please find me ACTUAL parts listed where you could build the SAME PC for “half the price”. until then, no need to comment back because it doesn’t seem like you’re too knowledgeable.

For that price you could get a 50 series card lmao…NOBODY is paying the for a 4090, especially someone who knows pc parts. And if you paid 2,000 for for water cooling, they DEFINITELY saw you coming lmao, cause Themaltake, Corsair, and MANY other companies make damn good kits, fittings and all for 350-6 and some change.

Lol, this will be my last reply because this is actually dumb.

Thermaltake DOES sell kits. Correct, this statement shows that you’ve never once built a system like this. Those kits give you 8 fittings at max (that’s the $600 kit). This system has 14 fittings in total… no kit sells that many and the kits aren’t customizable. You’re unknowledgeable about anything dealing with ACTUALLY watercooling something. “They definitely saw you coming”, yea I’d hope so. The water block for the GPU was $300, the cpu water block was another $250, the fittings were $600 alone, tubing was cheap thankfully, radiators, pump, reservoir. I can keep going dude. Tons of money poured into this system and your 4070 system is better? Cool. Happy for you. Raw performance wise, your statement is ignorant and is completely inaccurate and you’re proving you know absolutely nothing except what you learned from watching YouTube on your first pc build. All for calling out a bad deal, but this isn’t a bad deal by any means. To say I’m scamming and running something it isn’t, I’ll gladly show anyone interested in the pc the full build sheet, overclock tuning, and any performance test they want to see it run. I’m sorry you could only afford $2000 for your pc, but some people can afford much more. Thank you for the clown show, I had a good laugh bud
 
I have spent way too much time this morning cleaning up the posts on this ad. The next person who refers to the OP as a scammer or fusses about the price is getting a timeout. If you are not interested in purchasing it then move on.
