    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.....

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


    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....

Listen, Lloyd - a BOI thread is not the place to whine about your infractions; but since you keep mentioning it, I'll (hopefully) settle it. You were given a warning first...you kept going, so you got a couple of infractions. Nobody could see them but you, nobody knew they happened...just like you have no idea how things have been addressed with the members that have called you names. I am not in the practice of discussing what infractions/warnings are given to whom, so I'll just remind you - and everybody else - that the moderators are watching this thread.
Now let's get this thread back on topic.
 
look here we need to stop fighting umong our selves over petty stuff And do what the bios was made for letting people know about people doing wrong to others not other stuff that don't aply to this And I know I'm just a guilty as the rest of yall

As much as I hate to bring this thread back on track, Danny would you please post the e-mail in question after you have finished absorbing all this pertinent information posted here since your last visit.
 
Ok .... I picked myself up off the floor, took several deep breaths, wiped the tears of laughter from my cheeks and wiped the spewed .. uh ... adult beverage from my keyboard.
Oh, you crazy guys you :D. Hard to resist all the jokes that are coming to my warped mind right now!


Back on topic; looks to me like both the seller and the buyer are at fault here.

The seller never should have advertised and SOLD a snake he was not prepared to actually sell. He did the absolute right thing in promptly refunding the cash, but the excuses (oops, I screwed up the shipping .. my wife wants to keep it ... it's my daughter's snake) don't fly. "F" for NOT following thru on the deal, "F" for excuse making. "A" for prompt reimbursement.

The buyer needs to get over it and move on. Yes, you did not get the snake you actually purchased. Yes, you were wronged (to an extent). You are disappointed; I would be too. Life ain't fair sometimes. We get over it.
This didn't really warrant a Bad Guy thread, but maybe more a Caution/Beware thread. Oh, and a little proof reading and spell check certainly couldn't hurt, either.

(and thanks ... I'm still giggling)
 
I am only going to be replying one time due to this thread being ridiculous.

I want to make clear that I am not someone that sells reptiles on a regular basis. So yes I may have made a few mistakes. I am a very busy person with work, trying to support my family like everyone else during these rough economic times. But I did what I thought was best and in the fairest way possible.

I did not in any way intentionally try to screw anyone in any way. I did in fact send the email stating that my daughter had decided she wanted to keep the snake, Im sorry you did not receive it (or at least say you didnt, that we will never know for sure).

DAND - I posted a copy of the email I sent stating the changes that had come up. Last night when I thought this whole thing was over I went through and deleted all the emails back and forth to Lloyd, again as I thought this was over. But feel free to go back through this thread and read it if it is that important to you.

Like I said above, this was my first time selling and shipping any type of reptile and will also be my last.

After reading this whole thread now hopefully you can see why it was impossible to try and work anything out with Lloyd. He does not understand that he was not screwed over in anyway in terms of money or goods. Yeah he did not get the second snake that he wanted, but he also was refunded the money for the snake he did not get.

That being said, yes I agree there are things that I could have done different, but I think I handled the situation as fair as possible for both parties.
 
Holy crap this has been the best funny reads I have laid my eyes on in a long time. :yesnod:

3552thomas3552 - Really I would like to know why are so upset? Let's say you went to your local Wally World and lets say you wanted 2 rolls of TP, and lets say they didn't have 2 rolls. So what would you do? You probably would buy just the one roll...even though you really wanted 2. So when you go to check you only pay for one not 2 ....right? Well what has happened to you in this case is similar to this...although granted you did pay for 2 but the seller reimbursed for the 2nd roll ...sorry I mean snake.

RiffDawg15- Can you take a screen shot of your sent box? Show the email that was sent to the buyer?
