    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....

Vince & the beast

Has anyone ever watched the news after a hurricane rips through Florida & the reporters always seem to find the most ignorant, toothless individual they can find to interview? The person just rants about how the wind "done come up and tore my trailer right off the concrete!" Makes Florida look bad. I hate when people make my hobby look bad; you know, like we are all ignorant and socially retarded, Vince!

i think someone has a dirty diaper

dude you might have had a leg to stand on i dont know i havent read anythreads about you other then this to summise what the deal was and at this point feel its not needed to determine that your poor attitude is warrant enough to not deal with or sell to a person like you .just so you know the world is not you personal sandbox and the toys in are not all yours so if you cant get along with other take your toys and go home
 
You are really doing a wonderful job of proving everyones point about you Vince...please keep it up. You are also doing an excellent job of limiting the number of breeders who would lower themselves to deal with you...please keep that up as well.

By the time you are through with this kindergartenish tantrum, you will pretty much have done us all a favor and run yourself out of the hobby single handed.

The really sad thing is that you could have avoided this entire situation with one truly sincere apology.

Ah well.....this will give you, Ken Yates, Adam Block and Gilbert Thompson more time to go bowling together.
 
my my my, How a child's temper will shine through every time. Vince To be quite honest if this is how you act I will be glad if you get out of Reptiles. No matter if you have had good deals with others this type of behavior is unacceptable.
 
I personally have delt with Josh on several deals and would deal with him again never had any problems awesome animals no hassle. He alays stands behind his animals at least he has for me.

I'm a promoteer at shows that Josh has participated in. He has always acted professionally and we have never once had a complaint. Also, I have purchased an animal from him that was in great condition and since then Josh has offered continual advice on his care. He's always been a pleasure to do business with.

that is an E-mail from josh , i dont want to jump the gun, but it seems like he was expecting something to go wrong.
 
just to make it clear to everyone, everything else was fine , good packing , the other four seem nice and heathy , and are even mateing right now in the cage, one male has a nasty bite on his belly , other then the DOA fattail, and the extra males the animals are heathy , josh if all you can do is refund me for the dead one i guess i have no other choice. hope you get on here and try and explain what happend , you seem lke a nice guy and i gave u the benifit of the doubt when otheres said they recived dead animals from you in the past. hope we can iron this out buddy, hope to hear from you.
 
Vince,
It sounds to me like this situation just arose, and this thread was started before you gave the seller a chance to respond and correct the situation. I thought the BOI was for reporting deals that had gone bad and could not be resolved. It also seems like a problem is best resolved in private, not a public forum like this.

i guess your right, but i wanted to cover my self by getting the story out, i have never recived a dead animale b4 , i think i did the wise thing by posting it asap. like i said maybe the sexing was just a mistake and didnt relise he had sent me all the males, thats one thing, but getting a dead one that actuly stunk up my whole house is a completly differnt story.
