On March 2, I was sent Doug an email about a package of Ball Pythons I was interested in. He sent me a price on March 4th for the group which came to $350 shipped. When I got the email (it was sent to my work email address) on March 6th, I made a deposit of $100 to hold the group. It was still way too cold in NY to do any kind of shipping. We never formally agreed on a date for the group to be paid off. I personally wanted to have it done by early April but as anyone in my area knows we had a very long winter and warm temperatures didn't come till the end of April and early May.
On April 9, I received an email from Doug asking how the payment plan was going, once again we had no set terms on the plan at all. I responded to him the following day to tell him it was possible I would be paying them off within the week but I was in the process of moving.
During this time, April 14th to be exact, my girlfriend and I found out about a major medical issue she has.
In an email sent to me on May 14, Doug stated I had 48 hrs to respond to him and said I had to in his words, "make a story worth my time to continue waiting to get paid or pay me in full or forfeit your deposit." I sent Doug an email explaining the issue, amd what it was but I will NOT post it here because that honestly has no relevance here. I also hope that if he does respond to this BOI that he will not post that here because it is very personal and should not be made public. I asked him if we could remove a group of the snakes and try to work something out from there so that he could get his money sooner and put the remaining snakes back on sale.
On May 16, today, I received an email from Doug at 12:55pm EST stating I had to pay the full balance wether or not I take all the snakes. Exactly 3 minutes later at 12:58pm EST, he sent me another email saying he's putting the snakes back up for sale and I better pay them off before someone else does. The ad even states, "due to once again another person who can not fulfill there obligations to pay this payment plan off and comes up with amazing stories why they failed."
I am not going to post any types of medical bills or letters from the doctor so I have no way to prove on here that what I'm saying is true. What I am saying is that I would NEVER lie about a very serious medical issue just to try and get a little extension on a payment I have to make. Nothing means more to me than my girlfriend and I explained to Doug that I will not jeopardize her health so that he can get his money sooner.
If he had tried to work with me or at least given me a date to pay them off then this would be different, however, no final date was ever set and he basically called me a liar and reposted the snakes without even giving me a chance to respond to him again.
I'm sure there will be comments that I should have paid these off sooner and I would have if it was possible. But that doesn't change the fact of what my girlfriend and I are dealing with now and instead of trying to work with me after he clearly asked why they weren't paid off yet, he decided to re-post them and in the post said I made up the story. I've had dealings with a lot of people on here in my few months on this site and not one person will tell you a bad thing about me when it came to paying or completing a deal as stated.
I also sent an email to Skip Seavey (cvhome1) and Logan Stillwell (medusasmorphs), regarding the plans I had going with them. I received a revised plan from Skip, because we actually did have a date set for the final amount, and he was completely willing to work with me due to me explaining about the medical bills piling up. I have not heard from Logan yet.
Below are ALL the emails between the 2 of us, I am however blocking out the medical info. All of the emails are stored in my work email account so I know that this is every single email to and from Doug. The older emails are at the bottom of each page and you have to read up.
