Zero communication has been made. I still try to contact him and get nothing but ringing on his phone and no responses via email.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....

Mike ;
I hope you get your money back . Obviously the BOI members who support James's reasoning for not refunding your $750. are smoking something potent. The one that really cracked me up was the nut who wanted to know if James 'guaranteed' live arrival as if NOT specifying that made it OK for you receive dead animals. Next time , be more specific what you want for a measly $750.00
Think back .... did you specifically request LIVE skinks ? If you weren't clear about wanting LIVE skinks then may be this is all YOUR FAULT and you don't deserve anything as far as a refund !!
All kidding aside, I hope the next time I check this thread I see you got your money back plus another hundred for all the trouble. I can't believe how some of these people can side with James no matter how drunk of high they are when they read the thread.
Best of luck with it.

The refund is long overdue at this point.

Has a refund ever been issued. Just curious as it is obvious that a refund is long over due here.

No refund has been issued.
I have tried calling and emailing countless times but have received no response or cooperation what so ever. Does anyone know how to get a hold of him? Perhaps someone in the community in the MO area? I would love to work something out with even a payment plan or possibly a replacement.

He finally responded again after almost a complete year and just kept calling me a scammer lol... Yet I have dead skinks in my freezer and he has my money. Just thought I would update.

Obviously very dead. So how could this be a scam? My guess is Jim had the refund money early on, but then spent somewhere else.
