    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....

Inquiry BallBids.com?

So after a bit of research and close scrutiny and a bit of digging we discover that the "winner" nrvgonestop has posted not only a fake shipping box and label, that was NEVER in the fed ex system nor even registers a logical shipping weight, ( 1lb for a snake+heat packs+packing+box....really?) but no package was ever shipped to the address. You see fed ex has all that info in their system and with a few questions and descriptions from the label, it was confirmed that that box NEVER shipped anywhere and that a printed label was slapped on it to try and dupe this very aware hobby community.

This is just more proof that Zack is nrvgonestop, which means he tried to scam everyone out of their money by winning his own auctions, and repeatedly lying about it Also, I believe, when he realized that he wasn't feeding caca to a bunch of dummies and people were starting to put 2 and 2 together he started giving refunds and covering his ass as fast as he could to avoid criminal charges, WHY he is still trying to prove his legitimacy by using fake accounts and "shipping" empty boxes to himself is beyond me. I will be compiling ALL of the data, proof, emails, screen shots I have collected and be making a blog spot that anyone can reference people to if Zack ever even tries to say humidity in this hobby. Shaun, I and many others decided to make it a point NOT to let this fool ever try this in this community again.

THough I never left the idea that he was after I caught him posting as Nrvgonestop and screen shot it, so......this is just further proof of what we I already heavily suspected...

Add all this up with the whole shady business lisence legitimacy issue, the local law they were breaking, the shady actions during the auctions and Zacks own posts, we can deduce with logical reasoning that they are looking to make a quick buck by trying to scam people into believing they can take a short cut into a precious and well developed hobby. Im just so glad that this hobby is full of passionate and legitimate people who want nothing more than to share with others the great joy in being a herper, and not alowing such fraudulent people and ideas to try and taint it with nothing more than greed and scams.


Stay tuned.

I do have pics of the labels but I dont seem to have permission to upload them to my pics on here, I will get links.....

well those were uncovered/ discovered in other ways, 2 seperate fed ex reps aided in determining if this was a shipped label and it is not. Im keeping the address we found to be the ship to address as it is a real place, however no fed ex packages were delivered to that address. Look at the label closer notice the shipping weight, 1lb? There are many other "generic" things that were not filled out right to show that there is anything in this box.
 
I'm sure someone skilled with Photoshop could make the address readable. It's not crossed out too dark.

Funny thing is, they crossed it off BEFORE putting label in the holder. As you can see the grey spots have a shiny Glare proving the crossed off address is ON THE PAPER, not the plastic.

You already have permission, but you are probably trying to attach a file that is too big, either dimensionally, or in file size. Sorry, but it just is not feasible, much less wise, to allow unlimited sizes on uploaded files.

Furthermore, it is preferable to use the file attachment upload feature when you are providing evidence that needs to remain permanent. Links to other websites can go sour, and that leaves the evidence posted to evaporate with the defunct URL. Once evidence is uploaded as an attachment, then it becomes as permanent as the BOI itself. File hosting services, and even websites of members, will come and go.
 
SO here is ANOTHER update. Though we never left the LAW issue, and that is still being investigated, the pkgs were shipped and apparently Nrvgonestop is indeed a real person, I have said from the start that if at any point the truth was revealed, in a legitimate way, I would retract any comments on that portion, So I am doing that now, Everything but the details about the shipping and the nrvgonestop identity is still in the spotlight. Just wanted to update properly.

that part of my post was on the other site, I meant to remove it. I figured out the pic thing, I just wish I could edit my posts here....:/
 
Hey guys,
just wanted to let you know, I was the winner of the butter female.
I didn't get to do a video like I planned of opening her, as I was on the way out the door to work when she arrived, but she is here, and healthy!
She was very cold upon arrival, which I let them know, and suggested in the future whenever shipping snakes to alway use at least 2 heat packs.
I do still have the box if you guys want to see pictures of the shipping label they sent her to me in, I'll snap some pictures of her too when I get a minute.
Did anyone else who won post about getting their snakes here?
Thanks!
