    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....

Inquiry Katherine McBroom - Holly Michigan

McBroom

When the money was pending, you had zero problem communicating. Daily... "I haven't received your check." Until it arrived... then silence.

No "thanks got it" or "let's get this dragon shipped"... just the sound of crickets. Do you honestly think I opened an inquiry thread to check you out because you infused me with a vast amount of confidence?

I did a simple search on Google by your name and look what popped up. Ask Google for a retraction. I didn't stick your name into that forum. I just read what was there.

How many PM's did you ignore? All of them. This is the first time you have replied to me since I asked for your phone number. THE FIRST. And was it to handle your business? Of course not.

You STILL haven't handled your business. Do you have a Fed Ex tracking number for my dragon? Do you have a USPS priority mail receipt number for the return of my money? Of course not.

But you sure could find your way here couldn't you? Ironic.

Of course I don't have a fed ex tracking #. I need to confirm when you want the dragon delivered. I won't ship without knowing when you will be available to receive the dragon.
 
I should have know that there would be trouble when you told me the check was sent on july 25th and you didn't send it until august 1st.I will just send you a USPS money order for $140 via priority mail with delivery confirmation tomorrow.Thanks.
 
Then...

PM me if you want to arrange shipping of the dragon. If it works out, I'll come back here and state that it's all good. All I wanted was for you to communicate with me and work out the shipping of the dragon last week.
 
Okey Dokie Then...

Make sure you make the money order payable to Triad Asset Management, the remitting party of the check you cashed.

As conveyed to you previously, my wife told me she was mailing the check. She forgot to do it on her way out of town to visit her mother. As soon as I found out about it, I had that check sent to you immediately and communicated the same to you.

As soon as your money order is received, I'll post it here.
 
What the? This was all crazy, posted too quickly, and uncalled for if you ask me. It didn't sound like an info thread, regardless of what label you want to put on it. Katherine, I think you did yourself a favor by refunding the money.

Thanks everyone for your support:) This thread should have never been started and the bearded dragon is back up for sale!
 
Glad you were able to end this transaction calmly and quickly, Katherine :)
 
I didn't participate in this thread originally Michael but I have to agree with everyone else who posted. The only one who came off looking bad in this particular train wreck is you.

Your attitude denotes a major chip on your shoulder that doesn't lend itself well to successful retail sales. You can keep repeating the same statements over and over but if you honestly read through this thread you have to admit you were premature in virtually all of your comments and that you overreacted to the situation in a major way.

Once aware of the situation, the seller immediately refunded your money (wisely I might add) as you requested, and you did not even take that opportunity to acknowledge your error and man up.

I am guessing your pretty young Michael and I don't mean this as an insult but I think you have a lot of growing up to do based on your performance here. Learn to step back and take a breath or two before you jump off a cliff.

It's generally a long way down

And just out of the blue... you managed to dig through all of the craziness on the BOI to find this one minor resolved 2 month old thread. You and Ed wouldn't happen to be buddies would ya? ;) No offense intended. Just curious.

Ahhh the paranoid conspiracy response. What a surprise! No one could simply be commenting on your bad behavior because it is simply, well, bad could they? I'm guessing your ego couldn't process that.

Nope...not buddies. I backtracked off the links offered in the other thread on the front page. I missed this one first time around. It was very illuminating read though.
