Is that your answer Anthony, she was fine when I shipped her? If I were in Sandra shoe's (I'm sure my feet would hurt), I would want a refund.

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....

we came to a agreement sorry about this
So can future buyers buy into this agreement? You know, like a prenup for lizard sales. In case they too get washed out lizards in purple paper towels.

The seller agreed to return the purchase price. I paid the shipping in both directions.

I believe I'm being more than fair covering $110 in shipping so the seller wouldn't be out of pocket. However, I do think I deserve all the purchase price back. Am I being fair?
I would have made him pay shipping both ways for sending a sick dragon but thats just me.

I guess I've learned an important lesson. I'm out $110 in shipping and the seller's keeping another $50 because of a mistake in my text message when I intended to say he pay the return shipping... from now on I request a video conference with the dragon in question before I buy anything. I'm so disappointed!

I can't even get him to return my full purchase price. I would never sell a dragon in that condition. I agree should get all my money back due to false advertising and misrepresentations that this girl was ready to breed.
However, I have no leverage to force him to do the right thing. Buyers beware.

i worked with you and we came to a agreement and hours later your changing your mind , i was trying my best to work with u
A little too fair imo. You're out $110..and for what? Anyway, you and the seller seem to be on good terms, does he have anything else you'd be interested in buying?
You asked for $450 and agreed to cover shipping in writing. If you now attempt to change a deal you agreed to, that reflects badly on you, that you do not keep your deals. Maybe you should have held out for better terms, but you did not.
Ok, forget what I said.

You do what you think is fair. You're right... I'm an idiot for not demanding ALL my money back. I guess I assume people on this board are trustworthy. Again...my mistake for being trusting. I guess the lesson cost me $160.
Don't have a meltdown. You agreed to $450 and agreed to cover the shipping, having a tantrum about it doesn't change the fact that not only did you agree, you put the agreement in writing on the BOI.
I think everyone sympathized with your predicament, I certainly did, you clearly did not receive what you bargained for.
And we're thinking you are trustworthy too, and will keep the agreements you make, even if later you think you should have agreed to different terms.

I intend to keep my agreement. However, the seller misrepresented, posted an inaccurate picture and assured me she was ready to breed. I just think the seller is taking unfair advantage by making a profit on this deal. My text message was a mistake. Why would I agree to pay shipping both ways and $50 in profit for the seller. My mistake and I'll pay for it.
