    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....

This is why the never ending questions. I'm sorry if cant answer them all, a lot stuff goes unreported b/c it's just easier to suck it up and move forward. At this point I'm going to just move forward.
 
Just answer them with the truth and you have no problems. :shrug01:

I don't see why people claims it's so hard to post in the BOI. Post your side, tell the truth, and boom...done. You might have to answer a few questions or clarify, but as long as it's the truth I do not see where that is so difficult.
 
If the OP states he received no pics, but the seller states he sent them, an easy fix would be for the seller to post screen shots showing the pics were sent.
 
Raleigh receives the dragon on 8/4, he tells Michael on 8/7 he got what he paid for. even tho Michael sent a dragon with missing toes he offers the buyer a refund.

Michael tells Raleigh shipping will cost 80 plus dollars to return the dragon. at that point Raleigh decides to keep the dragon. now he starts a bad guy thread over 2 months later.

Raleigh decided to keep the dragon which should be end of story.

Alright I got what I paid for health breeder size silkback male. Now I have a question is he from a small bloodline or is he just small for his age? He is very orange and light to be normal.
 
I've dealt with Mike several times, both as a buyer and seller, and have had very positive experiences with him. He offered the buyer in this situation a refund for the full cost of which he was responsible, but the buyer chose to keep the animal. I don't see Mike being at fault for his willingness to issue the refund, and it is what any respectable seller would do to come to terms with any buyer dissatisfaction. In my opinion, he has offered a means to work this out, and by no regard does that warrant a "Bad Guy" thread.
 
I think the seller should have mentioned the problems with the dragon no matter what he was charging for it. It is important to be honest about such things. To say I sold him to you cheap so that makes it ok? What is that??? He could have easily said, I am selling a bearded dragon with missing toes, etc for only this amount. I also would have expected some money back. How can you not know your bearded dragon is blind? I keep them. I assure you it would be obvious.
 
Michael offered a refund on the dragon only. he should have offered a full refund after sending a dragon missing 7 toes, that would have his buyer paying 2 shipping charges totaling $133.85 as far as Michael being a good guy...I don't see it that way!

Then the fact he tries to jack Raleigh for a $80.00 shipping charge. no good guy there.

Raleigh Jones

Now lets look closer at his solution (refund minus shipping cost)
He told me he paid $80 for shipping a 3lb package priority over night
My cost to ship to him back was 53.85 via Reptiles Express
SO if my refund was 350 minus his shipping of 80 minus 53.85 shipping back
Refund would 350 - 80 - 53.85 = 216.15

Im just not happy losing 133.85 when a asked for breeding quality dragon.
I felt like he was very shady in the sale of this dragon and Im not satisfied with the purchase.

He offered the buyer in this situation a refund for the full cost of which he was responsible
 
After not being offered a full; refund AND the seller paying for return shipping, I personally would have just filed a claim with paypal and got my money back.
SO what if he waited a long time to post a thread about it all, he was simply trying to relate his experience, not resolve anything by posting BOI. It seems like he already tried making the resolution back in August.
 
as far as me sending pictures don't lie raleigh here they are also the rest of you that keep saying i don't take care of my animals thats just crap i feed them fresh mixed greens daily, crickets dubias,lobsters also clean water and their cages are immaculate i probably take better care than most of your parents did with you so you people that don't know me or you newbies talking sh_t f-off

The fact that you have pictures, doesn't do anything to prove that you actually sent them to the buyer prior to purchase.
 
you know something HE KNOWS I SENT THEM he is lying to make himself look good and i know you all can count can't you??? he is missing 2-toes not 7 like mr raleigh jones has claimed man up raleigh admit i sent you the picks stop hiding behind mommas skirt

Kaiden, he should have offered a full refund including all shipping costs.

He sent a dragon missing 7 toes, is that what you would do?
 
Michael (Mb8159),
Judging by the e-mails that the OP provided, you didn't disclose that the Bearded Dragon was missing any toes, regardless of how many toes he is missing you should have told the OP before the purchase.
 
if he had such a problem he should have taken the refund as for the shipping bill i no longer have it. i guess there's quite a few people that have no lives but to sit and read threads all day i've had many positive experiences both buying and selling on here but lately this place has become a friggin soap opera i don't know about you people but I HAVE OTHER THINGS IN MY LIFE BESIDES REPTILES and Mr clark i noticed you're the first one to jump all over people i guess your soooo smart why don't you get a LIFE lol

you know something HE KNOWS I SENT THEM he is lying to make himself look good and i know you all can count can't you??? he is missing 2-toes not 7 like mr raleigh jones has claimed man up raleigh admit i sent you the picks stop hiding behind mommas skirt
Someone that's so experienced, yet not sensible enough keep evidence around, just in case. Not saying a whole lot for your level of professionalism. And neither are your smartass remarks. Seeing as you can't prove anything, we have nothing more than context clues, on which to base our determination of guilt. Being rude and going on the offensive is not how most "Good Guys" choose to handle themselves when trouble arises.

You sent him a flawed animal, and can't prove that he was made aware of the flaws before buying. Nothing you've posted has given me any reason to want to side with you, based simply on how you've conducted yourself. Being dismissive and belittling towards someone with a legitimate gripe isn't going to help you out very much.
 
2-7-10 It don't matter how many missing toes, all you had to do is mention that the toes were missing when your customer inquired about the dragon. there is a good chance he would have bought it if you would have been up front with him.

hey ed count the toes in the picture you can count right here let me start 1,2,3,
 
hey hhmoore he saw the pictures and didn't have a problem then and as for me being suspended from here you take peoples contributions and try to throw them off of here real classy site lol believe me there arte MANY scammers on here in fact alot of them have alot to say and ed the prices you ask for your beardies you should be wearing a mask and holding a gun people they are lizards not gold ha ha ha ha lol
