    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 was supposed to recieve a 6" bearded dragon from this guy earlier this week, but it never showed, and I havent seen or talked to him since. He is a regular in a chatroom that I attend, and since I sent him the money, he hasnt showed his face. Some people have said that he has gone on vacation, but that still doesnt make up for the money I sent him.
He won the bearded dragon from Reptile Republic, and I checked with Howard Fluker (the administrator) and he told me the beardie was NEVER claimed!
Right before I sent him the money, He said he had claimed the beardie, and it would be shipped the following Monday, and arrive on Tuesday. But still nothing.
Here is his post about the bearded dragon that he made on faunaclassifieds...

I have now lowered the price on the 0.0.1 6" normal phase bearded dragon that I posted for sale a while back.  I was asking $50.00 shipped.  Right now, you can have it for $30.00 shipped!!!  This offer won't stand long so grab it now while it's still for grabs!  Simply email me: [email protected]
Please use this email and not the one my name is registered under (switched ISP's) and please don't use the boards memo system as I will most likely miss the message.  I accept PayPal and money order.  Sorry, no pics.

I find that post kind of suspicious, but I didnt see it before I sent him money.
I only sent him $30 + what I paid to have the money order sent express mail.
But thats not the point, I was lied to, and decieved.
If ANYONE has any info on this guy, please email me at [email protected]
And DO NOT buy from this guy!!! Hes BAD news!!

Thank you for your time,

Hi,
I have talked to him quite a bit.  I have almost cut a few deals w/him for trading pumilio, but they all sorta fell through...  I'm pretty sure he's not gonna just disappear on ya.  You're right, he hangs out in the chat rooms quite a bit.  You might tell everyone in the chat room to watch for him, and tell them to have him email you.  At this point, I'd say it's most likely some kind of mix up.  I don't think anyone would just skip town for $30.  I wouldn't be worried.  If the beardie wasn't claimed, then I guess he'll prolly send the money back.  I think I remember seeing that trade ad on frognet "beardie for darts."
Anyway, I wouldn't stress too much,

He has my email, and if it was some sort of mix up, he shouldnt just leave me hanging. Do you agree?
 
also...why would he tell me he claimed the beardie if he didnt?
Thats out right lying. I believe he had the intention all along.
 
I agree...  He's in the wrong here.  He has your money, and has not contacted you.  That is wrong IMO.  But, from talking to him, he never seemed to be the type to up and leave...  You said that some people said he was on vacation?  Maybe this is true, maybe not....  Maybe he claimed the bearded and reptile republic didn't get the email or something, or lost it....maybe he was lying...  I was just saying that he is a real person, and that I don't think he's gonna disappear on ya.  Hopefully he'll get ahold of ya I guess???

i thought the same thing, but he never sent me a tracking # or given me a call like he was supposed to.
Whats up with THAT??
 
He posts on the arrow frog forum on kingsnake.com

He hasnt posted on there in awhile but if you scroll down you will see something he posted

Good luck
