    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....

Inquiry John Perkins AKA geckoman2 (inquiry)

I dont know why any of this is being discussed on here.
It seems this part of this thread belongs on another part of the forum.
Despite him breaking the rules or whatever the ban was for we had a great deal as I posted previously.
 
forgot to to sign my name. Also I dont want the good reviews to get lost in the side banter that is going on. Good transaction!!

This thread is an Inquiry about him, his professionalism, his business practices, good or bad. If you want it to be a good guy thread, and had a good transaction with him, you could always add to one, if one exists, or create your very own good guy thread.

Although it is somewhat off topic, would not his attitude sorta fit in with his professionalism?

I was referring to the discussion of his ban. Discussing someones ban has nothing to do with the inquiry, business practices or professionalism.
I added my experience to the inquiry thread as I had a good experience.
If someone wants to question moderators or other site members as to what a ban was for, if it were permanent etc wouldn't a pm be a more fitting place? hell maybe there's even a specific forum for such questions. I may be wrong as I don't post here a lot but aren't infractions given on the BOI for off topic disussions (like discussing someone ban?)

I believe the Mods have the option of a verbal warning first. Besides, how do you know there wasn't one passed out?

I do not know that, but my response to this thread having to do with my transaction with whom the thread was about has now been pushed back a page because off topic discussion. That being said I'm no longer going to reply to this thread unless someone has a direct question to me about my transaction with John as once again it is going off topic. I had a smooth transaction and found the seller to be professional with my and our deal.


Cheers,
Kevin Luzzi

Isn't that post itself a tad bit off topic?
 
I just bought a turtle from John Perkins (geckoman2) last week. The transaction went perfectly and could not have asked for anything more. I was given pictures the day before shipping, animal arrived in perfect condition and packed very well.

I would gladly deal with him again based on this transaction.
