    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....

ITS SAD WHEN SOME SCUM LIKE THIS MAKES PROMISES TO SOMEONE HE CANT KEEP AN THEN LIES OUT OF EVERYTHING I HAD WAITED ON THE WEST AFRICAN NILE CROCS FROM OCTOBER OF 2010 TO BASICALLY NOW IM STILL WAITING I GUESS IM NEVER GETTING ANY AT THIS POINT IN TIME I WISH SOMEONE ON HERE COULD POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECRTION TO SOMEONE WHO CAN GET ME HYBRID CROCS OR ANY TYPE OF CROC
 
Justin, do you have emails that show this prospective transaction? You say you had money 'set aside', did you give the seller a deposit or pay for the critters?
Also, you need not post in caps. Also, if you want to place a 'wanted' ad, it is free, but posting about wanted critters does not go in this forum.
 
hi no i do not but Jay told me this over the telephone i waited all the way back as far as october 2010 till now no i never sent him any payments hes is nothing but a flake an a lier i hope he is reading this post i can post a want add in the critter classifieds but i already know i will not here from nobody or be contacted by anyone cause i know that most private collectors who have crocs do not want to sell them an i have no idea where to even begin to search for hybrid crocodiles i had not seen any nile/moreletes or niletes for a couple yrs or any others
 
@Brocthecroc

If you didnt send him any money what are you complaining about?

No one was stopping you from looking for other sources for your animals.

I've done numerous deals with Jay without issue.

Your thread here is a joke.
 
as edrizzle said previously above does not respond by cell phone an no comminication even after sale an,likes to play games an waste peoples time why would you or someone claim to have animals that they do not have thats a joke an yes hes a total flake he does the same thing to me you call his cell phone an does not anwser or return phone calls or emails an then when questioned about somthin lies out of it telling you he has west african nile crocodiles an that there at a zoo exhibit an will be ready for sale within a week or so when instead" he could have just said Justin im sorry i do not have any crocs at this time or this yr thats honesty right there an then i would not have sat there waiting over a year im very upset about this i do not care i had no wehere else to look an nothing but promises made to me buy this individual. who is nothin but a flake an a lier an could not even have had the decentcy to point me" in the right direction.

the guy is kinda flaky.

no responded cell phone and communication after the sale.

just saying.

Have either of you ever actually completed a transaction with this seller? If not, this entire thread is nothing but a waste of bandwidth. Worst case scenario: he strung you along about something that he ended up not being able to provide..and you can't even really prove that. No one is obligated to sell you anything.

I agree , this thread should be an info thread ,i hate when people waste my time.
 
yes i have.

have you?

like i said, i made a purchase with this guy. after the sale, he dodged my calls. regardless if i just wanted to say "thank you", he ghosted after the deal. what more do you want?? tracking number ID's from fedex?? lol
 
what more do you want??

Personally, I want you to pull your head out of your a$$ long enough to take the BOI seriously and put some effort into posting something worth reading, but maybe that's just me.

edrizzle said:

If you feel you have a worthwhile complaint, then yes. While it's not mandatory, any supporting details that can be provided will only work to increase the veracity of your claim.
 
why you mad?

Im simply telling how my transaction went with this guy. Maybe its not worth reading to you. But if i were someone that is about to buy from this guy, i would want to hear about his previous transactions. ever hear of yelp.com?? personal reviews about a business. same things we have here, except we are reviewing breeders. so if my review dosent fall under your "worthwhile complaint" just move along and dont comment at all . maybe someone will benefit from reading my post about him you never know

sorry to take you down from your high horse around here. maybe you should let people give reviews instead of belittling people

No high-horse involved. Simply pointing out that posting useless drivel like your addition to the Potts thread, and, to a lesser degree, your first post in this one, doesn't do anyone any good. Least of all yourself, if you have any interest in being taken seriously in this particular forum. But, hey, do what you want. Enough :>off_to<::icon_bs: from me

This is not yelp.com; this is a business oriented forum, and some degree of professionalism is appreciated from posters. Your first post was a complaint about communication...there was no indication of whether a transaction had taken place.
 
hahah, why are you stalking me? what does my post on the Potts matter have anything to do with a review on this guy?? totally different situation. everyone commenting on the Potts situation could be considered "useless drivel" when it comes down to it. the guy still has the money. why does your 2cents count more than me? is it because i just joined the forum not too long ago? high horse ;D
 
Warning: That's enough of the interpersonal bickering - it is irrelevant to the topic of this thread. If you wasn't to continue, take it to PM
 
AS HE MADE PROMISE AFTER PROMISE
Let us see the emails showing he 'promised' these rather than just anticipating he might have some in stock. Let's see that an actual transaction was made between the two of you with price quoted and deposit given.
THEN HE STOPPED ANWSERING HIS PHONE AN JUST IGNORED ME
If you used the same kind of language with him that you showed here, I say he made a good call.

I disagree. I don't believe a completed transaction is a prerequisite for a BOI thread, however, I do agree that the OP should substantiate his accusations if he wants anyone to take this seriously.
 
Everyone might want to take a deep breath before this gets out of hand.

To Justin- Calm down on your posts. You sound like a person FREAKING OUT!!!! Which there is no need for. So just relax and explain calmly what your issue was. If you have no emails or proof of what you're saying other than your word, be prepared to not have everyone in your corner on this.

If people disagree with you, or question the information you have willingly put forward, you need to be able to handle that

Otherwise I suggest refraining from using the BOI until then.

and to Eric- If your biggest problem in your transaction was no contact after the sale, thank you for that information. It is good to be aware, but stopping communication after a transaction is VERY minor and does not warrent bumping of a Bad Guy post.

Unless of course there was a problem with your transaction and you could not contact the seller. Then lay out your issue here with proof. If he simply stopped talking to you after a SUCSESSFUL transaction, you'll be ok :D again not a Bad Guy move really.
