    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....

Jesse Fricker - Good Guy

I don't think anyone doubts YOU, Kevin. People just want it to be known that Jesse is not as he seemed from your original post.

Making the occasional "good deal" and then asking it be posted on the BOI is simply one way of getting the occasional person to think they too may have a chance at a good deal....throwing out a bone, so to speak. Or bait..however you want to look at it.

You lucked out, and I'm glad for you.
 
Kevin, in the future it might be an idea to explain that you met in person.. Your original post was very unclear on that. Randy

Agreed, and that is why I posted what I just did. When I re-read my post I saw it wasn't clear that I met him in person. Since I was the first to post an experience with Jesse, either positive or negative, I didn't realize I was not leaving enough detail. And, had I known that people would have such bad dealings with him after my deal with Jesse, I would not have posted at all. 20/20 hindsight I guess.

Hmmm - you must be the "dude" that "jacked" him then, lol. When I contacted James Skinny (Jesse Fricker's alter ego), he insisted he didn't do face to face deals:
email from James/Jesse said:
I don't meet anyone. The last time I met "dude" in the middle of nowhere, I got jacked.

(for the record - my opening statement was a joke, Kevin. I am NOT accusing you of anything, lol)
 
Jesse/James jacked?

Funny thing is Jesse is a very large man and most would think twice about 'jacking' him. Also funny how he claims he won't do face to face deals, because I sent him an email regarding some timber rattlesnakes he had posted on here roughly a month ago. We both live in Pa and it is illegal to posses them without a permit. I just wanted to see how easy it would have been to get them from him. It wasn't until I told him I didn't want them because I lacked the permit that he said he was having second thoughts about selling them. Prior to that he was willing to meet me again to do a 'face to face' deal.
