    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....

Inquiry BallBids.com?

Again I never said that Toni was you. You are the one who thinks I did. Please post where I personally said you were Toni. No insinuations? Post where I said that you were Toni.
 
I have not, nor will I, read this entire thread, but I have a few questions. I have seen people compare the penny bid sites to Ebay, and other auctions. I see a huge difference. With Ebay, you bid what you feel the item is worth, and if you win it, then you pay. Correct me if I am wrong, but if you bid on a penny site, and don't win the item, you are still out the money you spent for the bids that you used? Is that correct or do I have it wrong?

Dave

thats pretty much how i understood it..which in my opinion is stupid and wrong. but thats just me...from what i am getting from other sources the auctions are rigged or something. if the bid is low, the auction freezes or resets or something so no one wins. if it happened once or twice id over look it but it seems to be every time. the main reason i dont participate.
 
Oh and before you get all squirelly, nothing prohibits me from contacting you or you me. Since I am not affiliated with ballbids business except as a supporter and advocate and programmer, nothing is stopping you either
 
Seriously?

Listen up, fellas. If ANY of you actually have an attorney on retainer who is aware of what you are posting here and has NOT dropped you as a client, then I highly recommend that YOU drop him or her as your attorney. Because it is obvious that he or she is dangerously incompetent. The very first thing an attorney is going to tell you when retained is to SHUT THE HELL UP about the case and let him or her deal with making statements and replying to statements made from the other party from then on. If he or she did not tell you that, and allows you all to still spout off with stuff that is going to jeopardize his or her legal representation of you, then I'm afraid you apparently retained one that was taking the short bus to law school.

Now if you WERE told to ZIP IT by your attorney, and you still come onto public sites posting the kindergarten level crap you are posting here, well any REAL attorney would drop you like a red hot potato and tell you to find other representation. No REAL attorney is going to jeopardize their reputation dealing with the likes of what can be seen here in this thread. Not unless all that attorney really cares about is the fish on the line and the hours they are going to charge you, knowing darn right well this will NEVER, EVER see the inside of a courtroom.

So how about I do you guys and your "attorney" a favor? If any of you continue with this pissing duel and chest thumping crap here, and that includes the redundant claims and counter claims every MINUTE of "you did this" and "no I did not, YOU did", or dredge up external links and images of criminal records that the poster KNOWS does not apply in any way, shape, or form to a participant here, I will simply ban all relevant parties and be done with the lot of you. Then you can all take your eyesore of a party somewhere else.

Seriously, this is an ADULT discussion here? Well how about trying REAL HARD to make it so from here on out?
 
Holy crapola!

What drivel thou spout.

Marty, you are acting like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar. You know you are in the wrong, but are trying to place blame on anyone but yourself. Your actions speak for themselves. Someone points out a coincidence in your email & the use name of some one else & you go off the deep end, posting links that you know are NOT Shaun & say he did it first. What childish behavior that is unbecoming an "adult" I use that term with you very loosely.

As to your email, I did a quick search of your name & found it posted on another forum, completely unrelated to reptiles.

I have used this company for logos and have been very pleased www.surelogos.com. My
website is www.popsdogs.com. It's not finished yet, but if you like what you see, email my
web designer at [email protected]. His name is Marty Kerstetter. He is very
reasonable.

Oh my, I just reposted your email … are you gonna sue me now too? :ack2:

Am I gonna be sued for stating what I believe? My opinion?
it is my opinion that ballbs is a scam & that zack byers is a scam artist.
Just because that is my opinion, does not make it a fact.

It is my OPINION that marty kerstetter is lying. That does not make it a fact.

It is my OPINION that mark byers is involved with ballbs up to his eyeballs & gets enraged when anything is said against ballbs. Does this make it a fact? No, it is my opinion & I am allowed to believe it.

Do I BELIEVE that marty kersetter is linked to this toni person? Quite possibly.

What can you DO about my opinion? Absolutely diddly-squat, because it is my opinion & I never stated it was a fact.

If I wanted to I could post all of your names here, every day, just so they will show up on a google search. Ergo, the reason I have posted your first and last names.

Anyone who defends a company with as much fervor as you do marty kersetter, is linked to that company.
 
marty, you're a liar and most likely a thief.

mr lair, er byers, senior is both a liar and a thief.

Little zackeroni is a lair, a thief and not very smart. Of course, none of you are very smart, but lil zackeroni is definitely the bottom of that barrel.
 
I alredy have it ready, just say the word and you too can be famous, or infamous, whichever you prefer, but remember you only have what i have allowed you to have.

So he pposts a link that insinuates i am a criminal but you applaud him for it... nice two faced position there

Actually you are a criminal. You have several posts on here trying to hold something over his head with the intentions of getting him to do something for you. Just because a judge hasn't said ( at least in this case) " yep Marty you're a dirt bag and are going to the pen for ___ years" doesn't change what you Are.
 
no competent attorney would send such a letter and then allow you to prance around on a board with such inflammatory statements as I see here.

Shaun did send the cease and desist letter I had requested earlier to me last night via email, which also contained the name and website of the Ballbid's attorney. I sent the attorney (Timothy P. Powderly, [email protected]) a link to this thread, because I believe he would neither condone nor permit the kind of behavior I have seen here, from a client.
 
So, you just posted information you know to be inaccurate with the intention to defame someone. Way to go, buddy. :thumbsup: . I am sure many who read this will find it reasonable behavior. :rolleyes: .
 
WHat is all this $95 pages on crap? If someone wants to pay to bid, and take part in penny auctions for snakes, who cares?
If someone can prove that they are rigging the bids, then thats a legal matter and it should be pursued by legal means.

And besides that, ballbids.com sucks. So who cares at this point. 95 pages of nonsense that shows that EVERYBODY involved is ridiculous.
