    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....

well . scott , i have to say with a heavy heart that i am sorry that he hasn't sent at the least something . i won't leave here either until it is cleared . with each post it stays with everyone that he is a bad risk to buy from . i hate posting on here but the last has to be cleared .then he can be on track to selling again . i know he has beardeds that is going to lay but don't know when . i asked about the babys and he never replyed back .(i do want to know about those babys )and i think for him to sell to someone he screwed over will show everyone that he can be trusted to buy from . maybe he went out of town for the holidays? he has some nice stuff and he can send realy fast . he can have a good business if he realy tried .well i guess my new saying for christmas is with age comes wisdom.

There are a ton of excellent vendors out there and I think it would be wise to work with them.

It is OK to make a mistake, we all do, but this seller has not shown that he has learned from his error. Even if he sent $1 a week in repayment it would show that he realized what he has done and is set on making amends.
But he is not doing this.

I myself despite my earlier positive experience with him, will not be doing business with Chris again. We are a community here on Fauna and I do not want to support anyone's business with my dollars who persists in ignoring his obligations.

If his good name isn't worth $1 a week to him, he should not expect that it would be worthy enough so that others would send their dollars in to him.

Come on now...

Baby beardeds are ten to the penny, not hard to find and not hard to find excellent quality from a reputable source. If you ever go anywhere enar this muppet again you deserve to lose youre money....there is no possible reason to risk ordering from someone like this again. you must be insane.

Why not order with one of the (many, many, many) reputable breeders producing high quality stuff? I'd certainly not consider dealing with someone who shows this kind of respect for other peoples money and custom.

Hell if it wasn't prohibitavely expensive to do so i'd ship you some beardies FOC myself (i'm in the U.k.

Fool me once....

:iagree:
Very much my thoughts on this matter.

Ms. Hollander,
You have nothing to feel bad about in regard to your posting your experiences with Mr. Sulwer. As we have seen multiple times on the BOI even the slimiest of the bad guys have some satisfied customers.
 
What i am saying is that i know Chris had some bad times so did us all, i know this is not a good thing he did to any of us , he took money and hasn't paid it all back . to some they don't care if they pay it and get costomers , others they want to be able to sell again , chris told me a long time back he did'nt care if he sold on fauna , but he did not realize that it is not just fauna that will hurt his sales . no he did not give scott the number of where he sells but it will be very easy for me to find it , this i will do along with give all the info i have to scott well all what i am saying is between me and scott , if he doe's not pay he will hurt . but if he pays . i feel he should be back on track to having a decent busness.and how better then to have one that he screwed buy from him. NO it don't look like anything is going to go good for him as far as selling again on fauna.because he is not making the effort to pay scott ,it seems he has a bur about scott , scott is a great guy , and all he wants is his money , chris is young and a hot head , but can be nice also ,i know that being nice don't cut it he needs to be good in his heart and soul ,(other words he needs to learn how to treat others the way he wants to be treated) he was in a good place clearing up two now the last , but like i said if he clears this up i want and wish him the best ,
 
Wishing him the best is commendable and no one will argue with that. Handing him more money in the future is a different matter entirely. That being said it is your money and you're, of course, entitled to do what you wish with it :)

Personally though I find if someone has bad business practices they tend to stick. Do I beleive he intentionally set out to "scam" you fine folks? nope. Do I beleive he has no grasp of how to conduct himself correctly in a business transaction, has no respect for his customers or their hard-earned, no concept of how important his word as a seller is (and how he's shown it to be completely WORTHLESS)? Yes, yes I do.

Intentional scammer or not he surely has a LOT to learn about selling any product, never mind animals and this, at least to me , means any future transactions are just as likely to go wrong as this one did.

I too hope he clears this up, although for such a TINY amount of money he sure is taking his time. Which again speaks volumes about what he thinks about his customers.
 
yes you are totaly right and i do agree with you , this is going to happen again . he has no respect or regard for his costomers. but on the other hand i have had the opportunity to meet those choice fue that have learned from thier mistakes and did a turn around , chris WAS showing that he was making the effort.then ! well like i said it was only a fue,
 
This makes me really uncomfortable, especially considering I stuck up for people on either side of this issue [not this case specifically, but Chris' other dealings]. I hope this ad is going towards paying this customer back.
 
It should not make you feel uncomfortable i am sure chris made some good dealings . don't know why this one went bad . i don't realy care .he has some excuse .but no excuse is a good one. i just will stick with scott until he is paid . it is a shame that apparently chris feels he doesnt have to . but no good ever comes out of screwing someone. like i said he is young and a lot to learn . i think he has a lot of disappointments himself to look forward to . with each post he is showing he is a failure , he has failed to clear up his mess, failed to clear his reputaion up, failed to get his busness back on track, and failed to set the trust of those who would buy from him
 
Chris sent me another email a few days ago telling me he has not forgot about me and that he has some money rolling in next week. I've heard it before, a couple of times. I ask him questions and get no response. Here is what I said in return:

Chris, it's been over two months now since I sent you the money. You say you have some money starting to roll in next week. What does that mean, exactly? Are you trying to say that you will be paying me next week? At this point, I feel like your'e playing me every time you say something to this effect. A couple of weeks ago you said you had some frogs sold. I think I've been pretty civil through this whole thing. I have not used foul language, I have not made threats. I'm just having a hard time figuring out how someone who owns a nice corvette can't come up with $235 bucks in two months.
 
nope i havent fallen.......... sorry if i bug you . but like i said i am goin to stick on here until scott is paid . with each post chris gets a little email that someone posted . and puts a little reminder this is not going away until he does . so please dont be ignorant ,

Lighten up and enjoy your Holidays!
 
sorry but i guess i look at the world through different eyes then most . i treat others the way i want to be treated. i don't feel thier is a need to make coments about anyone.in anger things are said and i have said my share but i try only to say coments in anger,just think one word could spoil someones whole day and why do that to someone else needlesly? some things have to be said like the starting of this post, after trieing over and over to get a responce with none , but this post has gone on to long ,47 pages !scott needs to be paid up , then no one will hear from me again ,

Just an FYI: He can disable that "notification" function.
 
He is still trying to sell moss and frogs on another board. Maybe he is still trying to make some money.
I had one dealing with him worked out well just took a good while to get what I traded him for. I have two friends who dealt with him and it did not go well. One did not get what he paid for and one was not happy with what he got.
After reading all this I will not ever deal with him again.

If that second paragraph is not ok ( second hand info) please delete it or let me know and I will delete it.
 
Just heard back from Chris yesterday, here is his reply:

ive got some money coming in now. that corvette has been paid off for years now. what does someones car have to do with being broke at any given time.
 
My reply to him:

To answer your question: Am I correct in assuming that your car is worth more than $20,000? Nobody that I know who owns a car worth that much or more would have trouble coming up with $235 bucks in two months. If they were in that kind of trouble, they would most likely sell it. If you were driving an old beater car, then I could understand better. I know insurance isn't cheap on a vette either. What this says to me and others is that you may be living above your means. I don't care how you live or how you spend your money, unless money is owed to me, which it is.

I might add that I feel you have been very evasive and also untruthful in many instances.

Think back to a bit ago when you started the thread on the guy that owed you money. You were really pissed and really abusive. Have I been that bad?

You have some money coming in now? That does not say that I am getting any money from you, only that you have money coming in. Pretty vague.
 
The reply I got less than five minutes later:

blah blah blah you will have your money. all of it before the end of january. i paid for a f**king funeral with all i had saved, im 2 months behind in everything. no its not your problem. so just leave at that and you will get your funds before the end of january.

Okay, so I added the asterisks on one word to save the forum from any more profanity. My email only rated a blah blah blah? I guess if you can't think of anything to intelligent to say, blah blah blah has to do.

This is an expected response from Chris. it would be nice if he was a bit more friendly to you, being that you have been very patient with him.
