    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....

duane beattie rips off another victim

Ouch!!!

Normally when I hear that aweful word my ear lobe is being nibbled on at the same time and by the opposite sex I might add.

I have to blame this all on the Delphs.

still going, going going!

Duane I feel for you man, if you have a good reputation that will still be there, this post won't detroy that.

I havn't bought from you, but this post didn't change anything in my mind good or bad about you.
 
Wow, I see Vicki really was attached to her animals, infact, so attached that she turned around and sold at least 3 of them. I wonder how much she sold them for? Looks to me like she wanted to cash out and get free animals anyway possible. Here's the link, scroll down to the bottom of the first page and the second: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51415&perpage=5&pagenumber=1

Vicki, want to come clean to us all about your real motivation through all of this?

Chris
 
Busted!!!

Way to go Chris!!!

She almost had me with "Oh my poor babies". But I understand now. She buys 10, sells half for the double the price she paid and her remaining 5 dont cost a dime. No wonder she cried her eyes out and nagged the hell out of Duane....she lost the ability to flip a nice little profit. Her plan went down the tubes.

Nothing wrong with that mind you, just as long as you dont string people along thinking the reasoning is a deep love and passion for the animals. Which is what she did with all her tales of tears and helping frogs with no lips.

What does her selling animals have to do with anything?
Click to expand...

According to her they were too small and on death's door just a week or two ago. She was emotionally disturbed about them dying. Now their in prime condition and out the door?
 
Wow!!

Vicki, what do you got to say for yourself?

Are these the same animals Duane sold you?

They sure look like nice animals, to me!!

I thought vicki was just selling an animal in her collection. I didn't relize they are the same animals sold to her by Duane?
 
Discovery...

With the recent info Chris discovered, does anyone think the delphs should be banned from this site or perhaps a new thread with this evidence be posted on the BOI to warn others of the possible scam. I hate to use that word but it does seem that way.

I have total doubt that she lost as many, if any, chams at all. It appears she was starting this thread in an attempt to persuade Duane into sending replacements just so she could make a profit. Maybe it isnt so but it sure does appear that way.

Duane, I think you kinda knew this all along and it was right of you to refuse replacements.

Tricky Vicki, shame on you. We got your number.
 
i do agree with bill (thats a first), if your going claim you cried for them while some died and everything else. you seem a little too willing to part with some more now.
odd that you got the age down to what everyone else was telling you we thought they were too. when you yourself claimed they were hatchlings.

good day and thanks chris for the 007 work :D
 
I would love to recieve a proven set of Delph chams.

E-mail me at [email protected]

I thought throughout this adventure that these animals were procured for educational purposes and that said educational purposes were for learning disabled children.

That does not look as if it were the case here.
 
Musta crawled back under their rock and lived happily
ever after, isn't that kinda how fairy tales end.

It is funny how they had alot to say until people starting calling their bluff and now that all this has happened they have nothing to say.

Thing is that I hope that ALL the people who read the post about this also come back and read the newest post to get the total picture!
 
If it isnt enough...

To deal with emails from Prince Jabu from Nigeria looking to send $3500.00 for a $25.00 snake, we now have to deal with scammers infilitrating Reptibid and abusing the BOI to intimidate honest sellers into sending additional reptiles just so thier name dont get dragged through the mud.

Damn Shame!!!
 
Sales for real?

Are we certain that the sales are for real, not alternate ID's??
 
Re: Sales for real?

Not sure I understand what you mean? Did you mean that they created another ID to sell to themselves?

Not sure why they would something like that. If you have a theory please let us know.

The only reason I could think of that they would do this is to boost thier feedback rating or perhaps lend themselves some credibility as knowledgeable with chams.

But 30 pages of stupidity started by them proves otherwise. One deal wouldnt make them knowledgeable or lend them any credibility.

Without thier input to the evidence Chris has posted, I would have to say scam artist is the appropriate label.

But please let me know what your thinking...

The only thing is that they could create fake good feedback and possible buyers would only see the good and not the bad on this thread since this treads title is in reference to Duane and some people may not read it or notice that its them.

I did send this thread to one of the possible buyers there that ask about buying from them, he made his own decision once he read all of this and asked for references on who else to buy chams from.
 
But please let me know what your thinking...

Well, that's all it is just a theory. The WHOLE thing has been fishy from the start. Why not ice the whole thing with a bogus sale?

I mean just because it doesn't make sense to us, doesn't mean it doesn't make perfect sense to them.
 
Oh where oh where have those little Delphs gone?

I do believe they've dropped off the face of the earth, must be out rescuing abused toads and orphaned humming birds! Or maybe they're trying to find their free ranging greenhouse chameleons, must be looking where the floor is clean and dry. Please Delphs tell me how to train them to drink from water bowls. You got anymore for sale?

Duane,
I'm sorry I find so much humor in this thread, but then again I knew they were full of $_it. I think we need to keep this thread active a little while longer since its probably an embarassment to them now.
