    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 Barry @ Blood Bank

Well I am in no way siding with the poster here, would be nice if you would post pics to show us of the bad condition. On the other hand I did buy from Bloodbank a few months ago but worked with Steven not Barry, I must say I did not get the warm and fuzzy feeling in the transaction that everyone else seems to have. I don't want to hijack the thread and make a long post of my less than wonderful experience. Let's just say I expected more from them and got less. So I guess I am just more open than most here to see that even a good breeder can screw up sometimes.
 
I have not read this whole thread as I don’t have the time; however I have read enough to get the gist of it. I assure you I am not a Blood Bank Puppet however I am Stevens friend, I have yet me meet Berry in person but I have spoken to both him and his wife on the phone who have also spoken with my wife and we agree that they seem like good people that we would invite over for a dinner.
Steven has his reasons for hiring Berry, and those are his reasons, in the end, dose it really matter so long as you get a nice quality dragon? I have purchased many o dragon from Steven, many of our own breeders come from his lines.

Great dragons, great customer service. Period.
 
More postings from the blood bank puppets I see.

You obviously have not paid attention to the last 5000+ posts I have made. Please allow me to introduce myself, I am DAND (Dave) and I am not to be confused with someone who gives a crap and I am certainly no one's puppet. So, rest assured that when I say, "you are an ass" it is purely out of the necessity of telling the truth.

Still adding nothing of any substance to this thread.

Well, when you start with an unstable foundation what more would you expect?

Just hypocritical jargon and proof that Obama is not only is bailing out the scum that cant pay their mortgages but he also must be issuing laptops and air cards to welfare recipients as well.

LOL, but wait, there's more mindless ramblings to come.....

Spare me the ignorance.

Because it is obvious the OP has more ignorance than the next 10 people and any addition would only result in another tantrum of a post.

You shun me for cursing his wife and turn and do the exact same thing in the end of your pointless posts. You are hypocrites being controlled by a puppeteer named blood bank. Defending Blood Bank because Barry sent you an email asking you to post on his behalf?

No, you are shunned because you acted like an ass, period.

Unknowingly making yourself look uneducated and illiterate.

Versus knowingly doing so like yourself?

When I was only addressing BARRY AND HIS SERVICE. Not Blood Bank their animals or Steven just BARRY! NOTE THE POST: “BARRY @ BLOOD BANK” Keep up the waste of server space anyone with any real sense of intelligence can see the unfolding of the event in the emails the fact that I cursed his wife means nothing that was only after he basically said "just forget it" Meaning he probably was going to do what? SOMETHING??

See, I told you there would be more mindless ramblings.

Have you not ever cursed a cashier? a clerk? a salesman? Probably not to their face but every single one of you are liars if you say that you haven’t. The difference is I will say it to anybodies face!

Actually, I'm the person in line laughing at the idiots like yourself making an ass out of yourself publicly. I'll be the guy in line telling you to shut your mouth.

But if not let me spell it out so you can understand and don’t make a retarded post about it tomorrow because you really just can’t read proper English in the form of a sentence.

When and if you provide "proper English in the form of a sentence" we'll see what we can do then.

There was no communication once I paid for my purchase. They didn’t ship when they were supposed to. They notified me the next day with a fed ex tracking number and ignored my prior email of concern. They were packed poorly. And this was all before I even cursed him once. OH and one does have a slight kink and the other is hanging on. As far as the price drop they have the right to do as they please. I agree, but it’s unethical to do so 3 days later in my opinion considering the circumstances.

If that’s the kind of business you support have at it, no wonder the countries economy is in the preverbal SH.TER! PERIOD!

BTW, it's proverbial smart guy. :thumbsup: Preverbal either means occurring before the verb or ironically in your case, having not yet acquired the faculty of speech. Oh, and since the English major is soooo intelligent I'm sure he meant country's versus countries (possessive versus plural confuses those with lower than average intelligence). You see dumb ass, just because you can use spell check doesn't mean you have a grasp on the English language. Elementary school should have taught you the proper use of grammar and punctuation provided your intake of knowledge was greater than your intake of craft paste. :lick:

I don’t want a refund or anything… These are the facts plain and simple..If you don’t like them you know what you can do!

However I do want to thank the people that have contacted me privately and the ones that posted reasonable response to the thread. As I do understand not wanting to get involved because: it is what it is, Blown out of proportion due to my comments. The mark has been made. I will not be addressing any further posts because they are irrelevant and mostly mindless consumers obviously.

Yeah, you and all of your supporters. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I now turn over the forum for the cowards and sucker punchers. Oh and by the way Barry, Steven, and whoever else hides in the little green shed remember to thank your customers for fighting your battle……… You sure do have a pretty mouth!!!!

Now we have one man (using the term loosly) stating that another man has a pretty mouth. So, not only does the OP have a short temper and a poor grasp of the English language, it appears he also has homosexual tendencies. So in short we have now determined that the OP is an angry closet homosexual. :bleep:
 
Packed poorly?

Since the OP seems to think that they were packed poorly, I thought I would add pictures of how I received my dragons yesterday to let everyone form their own opinions. I do not know if they were packed in the same manner, although it sounds similar. This was the first time I have ever ordered from Bloodbank and the first time I ever ordered dragons online. I was a bit surprised that they were in a bag, but they all emerged in excellent condition.

you know what leibowem the dragons that we got from bloodbank were packed just like that just with out a bag steven used a container for us but all the dragons we have ever gotten from them were in great health so i would get many more from them as long as i can afford there dragons lol
 
attitude

I always go with the sentiment that you can catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar.

If you are a dissatisfied customer, you have a much better chance of getting resolution to an issue by being nice but firm, than you do hurling insults and threats.

Barry you know Sunshinedragons loves ya !!

A little OT but.....

"BTW, it's proverbial smart guy. Preverbal either means occurring before the verb or ironically in your case, having not yet acquired the faculty of speech.

DAND I have to give you kudos for the above...great observation and post. Thanks for the chuckle.

Berry is a great guy. I've been i'm sure bugging the crap outta him for the past couple months on trying to figure out if i want to buy a transluecent baby from bbd and he has always responded to my emails politely and the only reason i havent bought a dragon from BBD is because my new tank rack isnt 100% complete and i am not sure if i want to start a trans project yet. but after reading this post i feel as though i should buy my baby from them to make up for the sorry a$$ who tried to put a damper on their day. i wouldnt buy anything from you after reading this thread. my business is to a few select breeders and BBD will be added to my list.
Hey Berry and Steve you'll be getting an email from me shortly ;)

Just make sure you ask very specific if the Translucent you are getting has black eyes. This was the problem I ran into with them. I paid a butt load of money for a leatherback translucent and it came in with normal eyes, when I questioned them they said her eyes might turn in time, Steven claimed that he never said he guaranteed black eyes, that's right he never guaranteed because I never asked because I thought it should be a given. Sorry but to me a translucent has black eyes if not then it's a partial Trans,and should be sold that way, maybe that's just my opinion. Anyway I think that info should be disclosed from the begining of the sale. After I questioned the translucent on another board(nicely, no threats or name calling) only then did Steven chime in that if I wasn't happy I could send the beardie back for a refund. This of course was after I had her for a few weeks, plumped her up and gotten attached so of course I won't send her back, and I think breeders know that. This on top of anothr Translucent was supposed to be thrown into the deal with my order, no extra's came, steven ignored me when I questioned why not, yet is seems like a lot of people who orders from them gets a "surprise" beardie w/their purchase when they were intended but mine was an agreed upon extra and still didn't get it. Also the fact that they ship 14 day old beardies makes me nervous, of course I still bought knowing this but only becasue I knew I would miss out on the morph I wanted because they chose to start selling them so young, which is not quite fair to the customer or the beardie,so be aware of that also and ask their age/size.

Yikes, I guess I did hijack this thread after all. Point is that blood bank does have quality dragons, they do seem like pleasent people to work with, just make sure you are specific in what you are ordering and ask lot's of questions. I know this thread got started about Barry not Steven. I have never worked with Barry so cannot comment on his service.
 
i just emailed Berry about a trans baby and he did remind me that they one I was looking for was small and young. But they do mention on the website I believe to ask alot of questions before buying. Which I think Berry could write a book with everything i've asked him. but you bring up a good point.
 
the tiger trans we got from steve last year his eyes wasnt completely black but with time they did turn even with a part. trans from alpha dragons her eyes wasnt black either but in time they did turn so it all depends on the dragons
 
"PS tell your wife she can suck my ....!"

This statement voided Paul Miller's refund. Paul Miller's E-mail was blocked after we received it.

Barry's wife, Kisa, is a Christian who is 9 month pregnant. Paul Miller is a very angry man. I personally know 2 breeders people how want to fight him. Thanks for all the support from our customers.

What... are we in gradeschool.......???
 
The issue NOW for YOU is what you said.
Every family has women- moms, sisters, grammaws, aunties. So all of the bizzes here have women in them, running them, or in the family.

If you have strong feelings about a biz transaction, take it up with the seller-verbal garbage aimed at a seller's family member isn't going to help your case at all. In fact, since all families DO have women in them, I don't see ANYONE reading this thread that would be willing to do business, buying or selling, with you in the future.

To Redfeet:

Paul, I noticed this morning that you left me karma for the above statement I made. Since you have no positive karma power I couldn't tell if your intentions were to leave me good karma or bad karma.

I would like to think that my post showed you how your comment was not appropriate, and that you are thanking me and that you learned something from what myself and many other people have taken the time to post to you in this thread.

It would be even better to come forth and apologize for your comment in public.

Well, you can hope Lucille. Given the tone of every one of his other posts...I kind of doubt it.

I have been a regular here for the past 7 years and i have NEVER seen a thread starter so completely shoot himself in the foot as Paul.

The only person in this thread that has been added to pretty much everyones "Do Not Do Business With List" is Paul.

What a complete and utter tool!
 
Well, I just got a nice neutral Karma hit from Paulie as well. Guess that shoots your theory Lucille.

By the way...what a great isea to start shooting karma a month after this trainwreck of a thread had sunk to the bottom. It gives everyone a chance to refresh their opinion of you.

Anger management Paul.... enroll now.
 
Paul Miller

Hey paulie,

you, sweetie, are the utter personification of 'small penis syndrome.'

your friend,

Gino Beniquez
 
IF I read things correctly.... the OP said he had other emails that were not posted.

How bout posting them?

From what I can see so far.... as a business owner... I have the right to refuse service to anyone. And if you would have sent me that barrage of emails.... I would have cut off contact as well. If there is a problem.... discuss it with me in a professional manner... Id even settle for a friendly manner... but insult female family members... and its over!
