    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....

Bad Guy Gastro3003 aka Dr. Robert Brunner -- Scam Artist, Forger, Beware!

All the time you have spent posting the same thing over and over on here you could have done something more productive towards proving your case and gone to a jeweler and gotten a written assessment on the ring and what it's value is. I've done it before for insurance purposes and it literally took me a half hour.

So Mr Li, where is the proof we have been asking for that the ring is fake?

Julia, I haven't had time to get an appraisal or written valuation. I'm basing my evaluation of the ring being fake based on the lightweight feel of it, as well as its build quality. I deal with very high end watches, and the craftsmanship of the ring is low.
 
Lucille said:
Ici if the ring is collateral you could go to 47th street and sell it. That is what collateral is for. At least you'd get an idea of its value.

While Brunner may appear to be offering you money, although less than he owes, given his behavior here, I doubt you would ever actually get anything.

I don't think you get it. It isn't just about the ring and the money, now it is about your misbehavior, your stupid legal threats, your lying. Even if Ici sells off the ring the thread isn't going to magically go away, and will be here every time anyone searches your name.[/QUOTE]

I have held off so far on approaching this route thus far until all other possibilities have been exhausted. However, you're entirely correct.

Yet you have time to be on here posting bull crap? If you're so busy that you can't go get an appraisal, then you're too busy to be on here posting. Either get the appraisal and get your evidence to support your claims, or quit putting up your bs.

The lightweight feel? That doesn't mean anything. We've dealt with several pieces of jewelry that are lightweight but are worth quite a bit of money. So just because you deal with watches doesn't mean you know crap about jewelry. :face_palm_02:

I addressed this earlier; most vets will not give out customer or patient information without a signed release. I had to sign one for my vet when I wanted records sent to an attorney earlier this year.

I'm sure the Dr. B has no problem signing a release if he has nothing to hide.

Maybe a course in "QUIT LYING" is in order for you. You can't seem to stay away from your own threads even though you have repeatedly said that it will be your last post.

So are you confused Dr.?

Both of y'all are full of it and are people to avoid.

Mistyck, the original terms of the deal were for $1300 -- not the ring. I prefer being paid the amount I'm owed.

I didn't see anything on either post about any vet records? Like others have stated, I believe this thread is intentionally being drawn out for entertainment purposes.:rolleyes:

The vet told him no one by tat name had ever been there, but as someone pointed out most won't give out info without client permission

My name is not Mistyck. That's my Screen Name. Bit of a difference.

If the ring is REAL then it is worth MONEY. Therefore get it APPRAISED and see if it is indeed fake, or if it is real. If it is REAL then give him a time frame to pay you in, or else you will sell the ring and get your MONEY.

It's not that hard to figure out. :rolleyes:

Why do you keep avoiding the question of PROVE THE ANIMAL THAT DIED WAS THE ONE FROM THE OP? You have said yourself in this thread that you have OTHER torts so why should we take your word when all you have done is lie?

Dr. Brunner cannot prove it because the tortoise is very much alive. See posts #25 and #34.

I do not need to see any posts. I read them very clearly from start to finish why do you think I have asked him 4 times now to prove those death papers belong to the tort he got from you. Also I agree with the others, if you have time to post here you have time to get the ring appraised, go do it, today, or you lose any shred of credibility you have left as well

Dr. Brunner, will you allow Mike to speak to the veterinarian that signed the tortoise's death certificated, yes or no?

I would hope so. I certainly would not share my customer data with some random dude who called asking for it.

I would also wonder why he would not have a necropsy done on a $5,000 animal that perished less than a week after he took possession of it.

One he said was sick basically the moment he took it and refused to bring it back for a refund. The doc is not looking good at all but neither is the op.

Seems to me that some PROOF from all involved would solve all the questions now swirling about.

  1. Proof that the documents from Parrots of the World are forgeries. Or not, whichever is applicable.
  2. Official assessment of the value of that ring.
  3. Photograph posted by KYTuan (Tuan Pham) of the tortoise he allegedly purchased from Dr. Brunner. I believe his input here in this thread is CRITICAL in proving that the tortoise is actually still alive. It is the ONLY evidence mentioned and has not been verified at all. Question is, why is he NOT helping to resolve this issue? Obviously he can provide some critical evidence.
  4. Proof that the specific tortoise in question died in Dr. Brunner's possession.

Nothing else needs to be just repeated over and over again. No one's WORD is really going to be accepted by anyone at this point. So either put up the proof, or go home, please. You both are not doing yourselves any favors by continuing the way you have been so far.

IMHO, of course.
 
So .. you sold the tortoise for 1500 more than your asking price ... you do understand by your own words that the tortoise was 3500 at that time ... so certainly no bargain .. correct? I mean you made the deal or posting ... not that the Dr. is innocent or even close to it .. certainly not ... but it does speak to your honesty and value of your words ... maybe you two should call it even or accept some monetary restitution from him .. give him his ring back and end this .. you're ahead 200 already :)

Rich, you're missing the point that I'm owed a total of $5k from Robert on the tortoise -- whether the tortoise supposedly died or not.
