    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....

Manny Frade, anyone here of him?

I am looking at doing a fair size transaction with this gentleman and am looking for any information on him. Fortunately, I am the seller in this transaction (contacted me via Kingsnake ad) but I want to double check my bases here. He is located in Hollywood Florida and his email address is [email protected]

Any info you can give me is appreciated. Thanks!

My dealings...

Manny contacted me about one of my ads. He said he would overnight a money order. The next day, the money didn't arrive. I contacted Manny and he apologized saying he was busy at work. He then promised to get it out the next day. I called him to see if he did and he said that it was already in the mail. No big surprise, but the money never showed. Just my dealings with him. Make your own decision, but I wouldn't waste my time with him.

Interesting. He made contact with me and told me he would overnight a money order the next day. It was for a fairly large transaction. 2 days later the money orders arrived just like he stated. All in all, I was happy with the transaction.

I sold him a Suriname male. Payment was recieved promptly and the dealings with him were very quick and rushed. It sounds like he is a busy guy. I shipped a Suriname to his office and everything was OK. The only problem I would say I had was that he wasn't there to recieve the package and I had to call him multiple times in order to get him on the line. :angry: The animal was fine but the box wasn't opened for 4 hours after receipt of package. Other than that he was a nice guy and easy to deal with.
 
Manny Frade bought an 06 Albino from me. Paypal payment was received shortly after emailing aback and fourth. I gave him a call when the FedEx site the package had been delivered and he said she looked great.

Smooth transaction, very pleasant to sell to.
 
I've sold animals to Manny on several occasions, have never had anything but smooth transactions. He's very knowledgeable and selective and still eager to learn.
 
Had a similar experence as Matt had, Manny Frade keep telling me that the money orders were being overnited to me for the boa that he wanted to purchase. I pulled the ads and he strung me along for three weeks.

A call saying that he could not afford it or did not want it, would have gone a long way.
 
Hmmmmm... He spent $9 or $10K with me last year... All was wonderful untilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 07..... He is/was/did try and try and try to get me to ship my $1000+ ghost boa without funds being in my account..... I always recommend having any large tranny's take place at my Bank of America, I learned this fast selling guns and high end cars....... You don't want to go to BofA or better yet, meet me at one, I bet I don wanna deal wit cha??.... Ya knaw what I mean???? I have to come out and say something was fishy on the last tranny..... Sorry Manny, thanks for the previous bus., but something was weird on your end palsy walsy....
 
Are you kidding me... DONT DEAL WITH HIM

Any specific reason why you linked back to your SECOND identical thread about Manny whereby you did not include the resolution? Manny paid you in full as he stated he would which you posted in your other thread. I'm not making excuses for the bad check etc but he did pay you. I sincerely hope that you simply linked to the wrong thread vs linking to a thread that you had not updated intentionally.

Bob, It's post #13 in the thread link he posted.

Dennis, thanks for the post. When I viewed it this morning it only showed a total of 5 posts on that particular thread. But, when I viewed it by searching under my posts I was brought to a thread that had multiple posts. It appeared to have been a double posting based upon what I saw this morning. I apologize for the oversight.

Bob, you're not the only one. When I open that link, for some reason it only displays the first 5 posts as a page for me. Initially I assumed it was only 5 posts long total as you did, because my settings are for 20 posts per page. I did not notice at first that there were additional pages.

this guy is a straight up con artist. it is ashamed the boa community does not join ranks and send him to prison.

The "boa community" does not have the power to do that. It does have the power to not do business with him - but there are still plenty of people who don't care that he's a con artist and will continue to buy from him, as long as they get what they paid for.
