    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....

Just because of this Ron Billingsly incident i will go ahead and be open today i backed outa a deal as a buyer so i guess that makes me a bit of a bad guy.

Situation: I have every possible morph you could ask for in my ball collection except a WOMA i went to purchase one after research on who had the seemingly best. Mr. Clark was who i selected not to get over on anyone that isnt me ( i lost my bank card drunk in a bar) i sent an e-check for the funds (every echeck i have sent has been funded)

Now i have this thing comming up this weekend with a small group of people in FL mostly friends and what not for a reunion type thing but nothing fancy where they asked me to bring my collection and i wanted to be 100%

I dont need them after this weekend they arnt of age for any season yet so i chose to pass

I know he is protecting himself
I would do the same
I am not mad
I am not complaining
I am simply not needing them anymore
therefore i cancelled the transaction

just some info

thank you,

Jay

Let me see if I follow this.
You wanted a woma. You contacted good ole Eddie and sent him the money for one. After that, something came up and you decided against the purchase. You then cancelled the transaction or did Ed refund you?
Is Ed now mad at you and you figured a pre-emptive post would lessen the blow?
 
.....

I dont know if Ed is mad at me or not but i am not about to sit around and be looked at as a bad buyer or distributer even a bad guy post wouldnt effect my dealings with my valued clients I am just stating that if anyone was gonna spread business and label me a so called "bad guy" then let me be the first to admit something that was wrong or possibly unjust I WILL buy those womas or another pair from him later when i get my bank card just not right now they wouldnt be of value to me until next breeding season.

so really I see this board as an aid to shed some light but i am not about to stand around and let issues be misinterpreted I am sure Ed will see i placed all the important details in here and i am not hiding anything.
 
I'm not getting it~ your going to drag your entire collection of

From TN to FL~ just to show them off.......and you were going to buy a Woma just to show it off as well......and because you could not get it by this weekend you canceled the transaction.

Okay~ whatever you need I suppose...........

BUT~ What are the terms of the transaction you went into with Mr Clark? You said you sent an e-check and it sounds like you canceled it before it cleared.......but if Mr Clark was holding that animal for you then depending on the terms of the sale you agreed to he may be entitled to a non-refundable deposit. Read the emails you exchanged with him and make sure you don't owe him a deposit before you consider this a done deal.
 
....

there was no tal of a deposite and if there was i would be sure to send it but there was not any talk of one

So on that note this is my last post in this section was going to FL to "show them off" and speak about them but i am proud of my collection therefor it is my right to "show them off" but any any instance i will just say that as it stands now Ed Clark has no probs with me in the matter of selling and hopefully doesnt have anything against me about buying either way I just wanted to have it noted that the ability to BACK OUT is a buyer/seller thing and as annoying as this post is, shouldnt be posted in here unless you absolutely got scammed. If you have a problem we all know to talk about it but not treat people like :censored: or black list them because of it.

I may not be in the fauna "good ol' boy" group but anyone who has ever bought an animal from me will agree I AM QUALITY! As a buyer and after he emailed me he wasnt sending them for a friday delivery due to the payment method (i fully understand him protecting himself) then i wouldnt need them until breeding season later this year around OCT.
 
:bandhead0:bandhead0:bandhead0:bandhead0
Someone please help me understand this one. I'm to old for this.:rofl:
Mr. Clark, is there a problem here?
 
I dont understand this post at all.

This gentleman bought and paid for a pair of Woma balls last night.

Payment was made in the form of an e check that will clear on 18-20 of Feb.
there was a big rush to ship as soon as I recieved that uncleared e check.

I will not ship anything on an uncleared e check, not sure anyone would do that.

If the shipping was such an urgent rush payment should have been in another form such as an instant payment.
 
Well I'm not sure but from what I think I'm reading here Mr. Daniel is say he has cancrled the deal. Has he notified you on that?
 
I believe (& Jay, correct me if I'm wrong), but as you said Steve, he is using this as a pre-emptive strike. I also believe it stems from this thread, regarding people that disagreed with him on his point of view:

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126616

Although I think it was a little premature on Jay's part, I think his intention was to ward off a [BAD GUY] thread. If that is the case, it may have been for nothing when he could've contacted Mr. Clark to let him know that he cancelled the e-check. He could have, at that time, discussed whether a [BAD GUY] thread was going to be posted on him...

Did I get that right?
 
Ed is not mad at anyone, I wont ship on an uncleared check to anybody.

Jay wanted me to do that, its no big deal. I clicked cancel on the transaction... very simple.

Here is the advice from paypal on echecks.
Don't ship yet Payment Status: Uncleared
eCheck estimated completion: 2/19/2009-2/23/2009. We recommend that you don't ship items until you receive payment.

What is an eCheck? Seller Protection:
Not Eligible

you are mistaken as this is not a pre-emptive strick as you would put it. but now that you bring it up i will discuss that post here.

and let it be noted i did not back out of the deal with ed to prove the following but now i can see to make a statement about current trends in the BOI forum.

I have served many years in the army to know that nit picking gets you nowhere.

but i do also see that this is not a problem and as Ron has went through the firing squad today i can read these posts and see alot of people who stick up for friends in the industry when wrong.

Dont judge me but posts about backing out of a deal are a waste of bytes in the server. just like this one is.

Now being mad at me or not a grievance is a grievance but grievances do not belong public if the problem had been solved through a positive means. (i.e. refund) Customer service is always something you work towards getting right no one in here can say with 100% clarity that you have perfect customer service.

That being said i am done ed and i are good we have spoke no one is mad and everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion. as am i

so live and let live may all of your businesses prosper and good day
 
Thank you for the clarification Mr. Clark and good on you for your demeanor in this situation.
 
ummm, ok...

OK, so I was wrong...my bad!
If you are concerned about the number of bytes being taken up on the server, why DID you post your own [INQUIRY] regarding you backing out of a deal with Mr. Clark?
If you feel that grievances don't belong in public:
1. why DID you post your own [INQUIRY] regarding you backing out of a deal with Mr. Clark?
2. why did you jump into the other thread?
3. WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK THIS FORUM IS PARTIALLY ABOUT????
I'm sorry, I really don't mean to be rude, but you did start the post yourself and kind of opened yourself up for what's about to come your way.
 
I just concluded and exceptional transaction with Jay of Herpterra. Purchased an adult pair of D'Alberts gold phased. Animals arrived as promised, and as represented. I would work with Jay at time in the future. Great communication, prompt shipment and killer animals is what its about.....Jay shined in each.....

A+++ Transaction - - - Highly recommended

Wow..... imagine that..... a satisfied customer comes out of nowhere. :rolleyes:

Like that's never happened before. :rofl:

I just see this getting very funny. Herpterra has a pretty recent join date as well. I wonder if the IPs match?
 
....

check the IPs please do as a matter of fact let me fax his invoice to you or better yet ask him what he does for a living i dont care man ed and i are over this if you fellow people want to continue go ahead, better yet ask Arachnocat or the Chattanooga Zoo or anyone else i have supplied animals to i dont care i have nothing to prove so continue on ya'll comments just let me figure out how to get this :censored: thing to quit sending me emails when 2 cents gets droped like dimes around here.
 
So, I'm confused.

If Ed is ok with the cancellation and it was all communicated and everybody is ok now, wtf is this post about?

I think Jay may be being a little paranoid, personally.

Rule Number One: NEVER EVER start a thread on the BOI unless you're asking about someone that you can't find already posted or you've had a good or very bad experience.
 
I believe it was Mr. Daniel's attempt to compare a buy backing out of a deal to a seller jacking up his price after receiving payment.
