    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.

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Bad Guy BEWARE of Evans Snakes

WebSlave said:
Not going to happen.

Evan got himself banned in this thread -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=128806

His postings start at post #88. He obviously has a very low opinion of me and this site and bitch slapped me publicly in his expression of that opinion. That's fine, but that cost him the privilege of posting on this site. After learning that the cause of this opinion of his (by his own admission) was simply because I didn't remember him on sight at a show, and that apparently tweaked his ego, pretty much tells me all I need to know about the guy.

Ok, gotcha. :thumbsup:
 
OK people, time to tone down the personal belittlement on this thread. I would like to prod the BOI gradually into a more professional atmosphere without this sort of thing, so please don't make me have to use a cattle prod instead of a nudge with a few requests like this one. :NoNo:
 
OK John, but posting that evans story is different just gave the few here more fuel.

I posted the emails, he had all week to ship.
All he had to do was say when he was going to ship but he wont.
I wanted him to verify what he was shipping, I have been scammed before on hets so that is why I said I was going to take pictures for markings because I will not know the difference.
Everything was fine until this last week,my email to him last week could have been much better but jeez why did I even have to email him to ask when he was going to ship, he knew it was warm enough now and he should of been asking me about shipping to me.
In the almsot 2 years he never once contacted me to give me a update I always had to ask him, I even asked him to keep me posted.
The start of last week.
On Weds June 3rd

Hey, Man those snakes should be about the size to breed now,
When are you going to ship ?
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn

is that a threat? why are you telling me that. you did get my emails because you replied to them I aske dyou if you wouyld or could go to the kalamazoo show to pick them up and if not if I could ship them. you just responded that you do not do shows. I emailed and asked about the big unit for a friend of mines pet shop and that he wanted to buy several if you called him and I would get the snakes to you when we hookied up on trhe cages. You responded you could not be botherd to call him. I then told you I wanted to ship to you and said that was allright but never gave me shipping information when I asked you just told me what city you lived in.

( Here is the email from when he asked me about the show and about shipping )

Hey Jim, are you going to be in the area anytime soon? Kalamazoo show? Or do you want me to ship to you? I guess you never called that friend of mine with the pet shop looking for a rack unit? He wants something like that $600 pick up only unit on your site. Do you have 2 of those available? Evan

This was my reply.

Hey,
I do not get to any show's.
I never called your freind as I just have been to busy and mail works better for me as well.
I only have the one unit here
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn

And then I emailed back again

I am in Grand Haven ,West of Grand Rapids
Thanks,

( I did not give him my address, I did not take the email as him asking me for it, he asked about the show and my location, it was winter, too cold to ship anyway so I never thought of it like that )

Then I replied

Not threat, just letting you know.
I never realized you were asking me for my shipping info.
At that time it was too cold to ship anyway.
So what and when are you shipping ?
And if you freind wanted cages why did I have to call him ? I have a # as well.
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn


My next email to him.

P.S.
The deal with your freind.
I did not take the time to contact him because I do not do he said she said deals.
If the guy wanted cages HE would have contacted me, seeing he did not I felt he was not serious enough.
Thanks,

he is a very large, very high volume pet store and is going to spend several thousand dollars to set up his reptiles. if you do not want the money, I do not care. I was trying to do something for you since it worked well having you here in michigan, instead of appreciating it you have complained about it so I am sorry I ever mentioned it.

That's funny, I was thinking that I could not believe that when I tried to give you a couple thousand dollars worth of business with one of my best customers without asking anything in return and you were so lousy about it, that you were one of the biggest assholes I have ever dealt with. And I was thrilled when you sent me a boa with a huge tumor on its jaw that you said you did not notice. Like I said, I have asked for your info and wether or not you wanted the animals shipped on many occasions as I have listed off to you and you have been nothing but difficult every time until just now. When do you want the snakes shipped. I want to be done with you.


If your freind wants some cages I have a #
I do not do he said she said deals.
Get over it.
Let me know what and when your going to ship.
How many times do I have to ask ?
After this is over I will be posting on Fauna for you.

You got my address twice over the weekend.
Tell me what your shipping and when
I will let you know if I will be here.
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn

Now you are threatening me with fauna? What a class act. "He said, she said" what are you 12 years old? I was giving you a couple thousand dollars in business for no reason other than I felt like it and you were somewhat local and not only could you not even acknowledge it or say thank you, but you could not be bothered to make a phone call. So call it what it is. You being lazy? You being dumb? How about the boa with the giant tumor on its face? Are you going to mention that on fauna too?

I'm done. I'll ship when I have time. Ups will notify you. Don't talk to me again.


Like I siad before I am too busy.
Sorry I did not say thanks anyway.
Can I kiss your feet and make you feel better...
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn


Do not ship without verifiying I will be here.
I want to know what and when first.
P.S.
I am heading to fuana now, Not threat, it is a promise. see you there.
Thanks,
Jim Scharphorn

His final emails that I never responded too.

You need to stop harrassing me is what you need to do. Be a dick all you want, but if somebody sent me a customer that wanted to buy a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff from me, you are damn right I would say thank you. Is that really so outrageous?


what you are doing is harrassing me



And then you dump a list of lies on fauna. Not going to tell them that I offered you a hatchling female but you refused it because you could not get hatchlings started and wanted me to feed it. You then told me you wanted a pair of babies and I told you that I just had a female, so I had to go buy a male for you and told you that I did. Then you left out the email when you threatened to post on fauna right before the email you posted where I mentioned it. Strange you leave out a alot. Like the tumor I called you about twice, so how is it that I never mentioned it until now? You just want to trim and edit things to make yourself free of all blame and make me a villain when I have done nothing wrong. You even give me a hard time for taking two days to respond to your email... sorry but my mother died Jim and dealing with that has been much more important to me than you. So why don' you post this email pal and show both sides instead of just lying to make yourself look like a victim. Also, mention that I have ashed you three times prior to this when you want me to ship and you responded how Jim? Post the truth. Post this!


I hope I got everything and nothing is out of order.
This is the emails no phone calls so this is the story, what can be different.
 
At the end he says about the female and tumor, I do not have time right now to post those emails , if you need them I will post when I have time.

I do not recall him calling me about the tumor, if the animal really had the tumor I would have paid him for it or worked something out. I never heard anything about the tumor ever since...
I am not out to scam anyone.
I do not see were I lied as I posted every email.
 
I am not saying taking sides on this story but Evan is no Angel.

A good Freind of mine Paid for a Mohave Ball Python 2 years ago from Evan.
They work out the deal For $1000 dollar my Freind Just got his ball in 2009.
He called Evan and told him if he was going to give him any other Ball because the price had drop so much.


He told him the Deal was for a Mohave and that what he is getting..



Thanks for the space
Nicole Rodiguez......
 
did it take so long to get the snake because it was on a payment plan or was there a problem with evan shipping it?

I dont know the hole story. I will have to ask my freind to see if he wants to come on here. Something like the snakes where not eating right..

Nicole you should either name your friend or stop making those accusations. I'm not defending anyone here but anonymous third party accusations are not appropriate.

Yes that is a third party but this is the same problem I had, and why it took 2 years and is still on going as he has not emailed me about shipping yet.

Side note, Come on DanD, it has been over 36hrs without a rude remark to me, your slipping..

Suncoast Herpetological, his post was a third party comment as well, so how come he was not brought up ?
 
Because I named my source and did not offer specific information Jim. I simply said his version differred materially from yours.

I have dealt with Evan several times over the past several years and have absolutely no reason to doubt his honesty. You yourself stated that you had no problem with him till last week. That strongly leads me to believe that the delay has been, in large part at least, your doing.
 
John, this past week.
You see the emails.
Please explain the difference you see in the stories.

And seeing your sticking up for him how about making sure he sends the snakes.
I also would like to know what he is sending.
What they are eating.
And have them marked so I know wich one is the male and female.

Thanks John
 
Jim

Email him a day that you are available to receive them (something he has asked for more than once) and guess what? They will arrive that day.

As to your other information requests...that is between you and Evan.
 
John,
You brought it up about the stories being different, finish it with saying how or you should have not said anything.
Not fare to tell 1/4 of the story.
I asked him to tell me when he is shipping multipal times in fact the very first email last week, it is not my responsibilty to tell him when he will do it.
I am not telling you to not post so were is the difference ?

It has been almost 2 years why do I have to beg ?

Sure thing there jimmy boy. Even with just being out of state doing a show and a trip to the emergency and being diagnosed with Bells Palsy I'll drop everything to entertain the slow witted antagonistic jim scharphorn.

So there jimmy boy, would you like to explain your contradictions bolded and underlined above? Please explain how you could have "posted every e-mail" while not posting "those e-mails".

Now do you? Everybody else does.
 
Since Evan is banned I was specifically directed by Rich not to post his Email. My regurgitating it is no different than posting it and since I have been told not to by management i will respect that.

In essence though,by your own admission, you had not even supplied him with your shipping address till recently. I was told that numerous attempts to arrange shipping have been ignored by you and that, until recently, you were the impediment to shipping.

As someone who has shipped a lot of animals in the last decade, i always ask the buyer when it would be convenient to ship and when will someone be there to receive. Any professional does. Of course it is your responsibility to suggest a shipping day. Supply a date you can receive and quit whining about it.
