    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Did I make a good purchase?

Joseph,
You appear to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder. I'm not sure why that is, but when you come in here brimming with sarcasm and taking shots at people, you really can't expect most of them to go out of their way to help you.

I happened onto this thread because it was posted in the latest discussions, not because I was scanning the leo forum. It is no secret that I have no interest in them, which is why I made no signficant effort to respond to the first portion of your question. (I did take just a few minutes to look, but quickly lost interest and moved on to other things.) I couldn't even tell you what the average sized adult male is, and I haven't looked at leo pricing since we closed the shop. I hope you get the information you are looking for, but I think you will find this (as any) community more receptive if you lighten up a bit.
 
I took nothing personally. And you are right, you weren't sarcastic, you were being an ass - I was trying to be nice and not say so. My point was that there is no need to conduct yourself like that.
 
I was being an ass? ok...I even said i wasn't trying to flame I was just curious before my question. But maybe it your time a month or something. Now thats being an ass.
 
I don't know about most people but when I am considering getting a new gecko-i do a lot of looking (breeders sites-classifieds-auctions etc.)-unless i just happen to wander across a pic of someone's babies and one really takes my fancy
You say that you are looking for or inquiring about a normal sized morph that weighs in at over 100 grams
Do you care what age/sex that this gecko is because to reach that weight in a non-giant-you will be buying an adult gecko and most likely a male
I would go to the classifieds section of each website that offers Leos for sale and simply browse what there is for sale
You say that you have already done that but don't you think that the ads can change every single day?
just because you don't see one for sale right now(and it is very possible that no one wants to part with a gecko that size/morph right now) doesn't mean that you won't ever find one
Also-many sites have a "wanted to buy" section
you could post there as to exactly what you are looking for

It is not impossible to find such an animal as there are people selling some of their breeders every season and replacing them with hold backs the next
As to what you would pay-that is a very large variable and would depend solely on what the person selling the animal wanted to get for it
plain and simple-there is no right answer for a price on an animal when the price will differ from person to person depending upon their circumstances
I agree with Steve-if you are happy with the gecko that you get at the price that you paid-they it is a good deal
hope that this helped
Sandy

Oh come now, play nice with everyone, you know very-well that your being a jerk (Troll) I have know time for people like yourself.

PS. If your disruptive behavior is do to the fact that you may be a victim/sufferer of "Tourette Syndrome Symptoms" then I do apologize and will make an effort to help you ;) :rolleyes:
 
WOW you guys are jerks.

There isn't a simple answer to the question however.

If you paid a total of 100 I would say yes it was a good deal.
If you paid 100 + shipping then no it wasn't. You should have talked them down to $125 shipped.

Another question, not trying to flame:

How come most of the posts on this forum are questions that can be answered very easily with google?

If you would have not posted this, the fallowing post with answers you didn't like, would have never been posted.


With that said, I think you over paid.
 
I agree that you probably overpaid somewhat, but really it is your satisfaction that matters.

I agree that you had no right coming on here with such a negative attitude toward people that ironically seem to be asking the same type questions you did.

Post a pic, lets see the creature and change the mood of this thread as it should have never went sour.
