    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....

I recently purchached 3 adult veild chameleons for a good price of $200.00 shipped! Only one problem! Bob Hayes aka urbancowboy1 will not ship them to me! He demanded I pay for them that day but now will not ship them nore return my money or even return my messages! Just a heads up, Do not buy from urbancowboy1 !
 
When was the last time you had contact with him?

Did he give a reason for a shipping delay?

Do you have any emails regarding this deal?
 
The last response I had from him was on the 5th. He claimes that he was sick and could not ship them. It was nice here and I really wanted them to be shipped last week. Now its 30 deg and not sure if he even knows how to correctlly ship them. He will not respond to me demanding my money back!
 
Dan,
Post the emails you have sent him and the one's (if any) where he replied.
Also, where is this guy from?

Thanks for the concern guys. I finnally got him to refund my money. Lesson learned! Do not order from this guy again!

Did you even alert this guy to this thread? Seems like he paid you back quick enough. It was barely even a week ago that he had had his last contact with you saying he was sick and could not ship. Hardly enough time in between for a BOI thread....

Id like to know his side of this story, as it seems he followed through and did the right thing. Hardly cause for a BAD GUY thread? I could be wrong... But i cant help be skeptical that maybe, just maybe, you jumped the gun a bit here.
 
I agree Alicia, he jumped the gun on this one. Something just didn't sit right with his original post. He was ready to label this guy a "bad guy" without waiting a reasonable amount of time for this guy to respond to him.

I would tend to agree though that this thread was premature and I also would like to hear from Mr. Hayes on this matter.
I am wondering if we are not seeing youthful lack of patients here.:shrug01:

I sent him a message tonight about this thread. just in case.
 
Wow this individual really has a lot of compassion for his fellow man. I received his payment and had to wait for it to clear. By the time it cleared I had been admitted into the hospital with infectious endocarditis. I have proof of this if needed. I checked my e-mail via my cell phone while laying in a hospital bed and this guy was all upset that I hadn't sent the chameleons. Only a few days had gone by since his payment cleared. I assured him that I would send them out first thing on Monday. He said that he was impatient and wanted his money back. I said no problem and had my wife refund his money since I was still in the Hospital. I was very happy to refund his money and would never sell any of my animals to an individual which such a lack of human decency!
 
One other thing I was not aware of this thread until today 11/13/08. My wife may have logged on when I was in the Hospital. But this is the first time I was aware of this.

Looks like this thread might serve to sellers as a "do not sell to" thread.
If this went down the way Urbancowboy says, looks like the buyer really jumped the gun and posted a bad guy thread too fast. Now it is here forever and some people may not read it through before realizing it was done in haste
 
And thank you to Mooing Tricycle for alerting me to this nonsense. I have shipped animal all over the world with never a mishap(Knock on wood) and have been complimented on the effort and cost I put in to shipping my animals safely. I even have quite a few references.
 
Not that I want to beat a dead horse. Especially since some people are so childish and I almost don't want to give anyone that satisfaction. This is from pay pal. For all of you good hearted people out there you won't need any clarification.

Dont you worry about it. It seemed like a "jump the gun" sort of thread to me.

I wish you well, and hope that you are feeling better now :)
 
Mooing Tricycle,
Thanks for the kind words. After another 24 days of IV antibiotics I should be fine:)

:iagree:
Thanks for clearing this one up Mr. Hayes perhaps one day Mr. Buck will grow up and learn that not everything gets instant gratification.
Hope your recovery goes well.
