    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....

Bad Guy Baltazaar2010 / Albert Bazaar took payment and never shipped animals

I think some people are going to defend Albert no matter what. He was utterly wrong in this situation and there's really no way to spin that, except by implying that the OP was somehow unreasonable. This is clearly not the case. From what I've seen, Marku1999's posts are very even handed and respectful, even when he's upset at the situation. He does not seem like a difficult person to deal with. Albert, on the other hand, reacted like a 5 year old.

If Albert has treated other people well, that's great. As has been said before on the BOI, how you handle things that don't go well is also a part of how a person is judged. Albert clearly did not handle the situation with Mark well. Let him own up to that. It doesn't negate other things he has done well with other parties, but he doesn't get a free pass to act like a jerk and not hold up his end of the deal.

You couldn't be more wrong, you and Lynn both, Lynn you started screaming scammer 3 or 4 posts in, how many deals have you done with this guy...ANY??

AHH, did I hurt your feelings Mark, that wasn't my intentions, but so be it.

Bottom line "It is, what it is" you don't have too be a rocket scientist to see exactly what your friend Albert was up to...

If it walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, it's what?

BTW, I wasn't screaming scammer, I was really relaxed, & calm when I typed it out on my keyboard, there wasn't any thing to scream about then, or now.......

Let's not forget, Albert has known of me for over a decade of the fifty years plus I've been in reptiles, and never heard anything good about me, that's why he wouldn't/hasn't contacted me. I've been called worse, by better.......

Again, I can't stress it enough, "It is, What it is"....

I called him a thief, that is what he is. He said he'd refund & didn't, ergo, thief.

He sold turtle he didn't have, that is actually by definition a scammer. I don't believe he was on the road to collect some. He has too many excuses.
 
Thank you

Thank you for the prompt response. Looking in the directory came up absent. I hate to get into this particular section to ask and my inquiry is completely unrelated to anything posted here, it was just the easiest route via the search engines.
