• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Over the years I have sold Chip Doss many animals on payment plans. Last November I sold him a female Lemon Pastel for $ 2500 with $ 1000 down and let him take the animal. He told me he would have no problem paying the balance as he had a show coming up that he could generate the money from. I had to hound him to get any money after that show then it ended up only being $ 500. He just recently had another show and did I get any $ no. He owes a lot of people money for animals he has taken and hasn't paid any of them. He even owes vendors of his own shows money and is dodging them. It's been six months and he still owes me $ 1000. DO NOT SUPPORT HIS MANASSAS SHOWS BY ATTENDING OR VENDING AT IT This guy is screwing over his own vendors and laughing about it.

I have given him many options to pay for this animal including taking animals in trade or taking the animal back. Now he refuses to return phone calls and told me via email to go ahead and post her because "I could give a sh!t about the boards " my own editing for profanity there.

David, could you post the emails here? I do not doubt your experience as I have heard two simmilar stories about this guy in the last month. If you post the emails it will add to the credibility of your post.
 
If you have any receipts, I would send

him a letter and tell him the next meeting will be at Small Claims court. Their is no sense in hounding him as you will not get an accurate picture of his finances. Nor would I persue any additional conversations with this guy. But I hope for your sake you have some written proof of his financial obligation to you. JERRY
 
Haha david, didnt you screw some people a while back? Is chip the guy with the mustache and long brown/gray hair?
