    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....

hello i have had many dealings with michael jolliff and i am sure other people did to and let me tell u michael jolliff is great person to deal with i trusted him with alot money for snakes everything i every got off michael jolliff was what he said it was as speaking for myself michael jolliff is right thank you joeyyyyy
 
Daniel.... If you'll ever READ my guarantee.... that's why I have the first 24 hours are for buyer's remorse!!.... Which means that if for any reason, you want to return the animal, you will get a full refund including the shipping back to me.... If that guy with the Mite-Phase wanted to return it, he could have and he would have gotten his refund!.... And another thing.... if this other guy who got a better deal elsewhere was going to pick it up at my store.... that's a lot different from someone having it shipped.... If you see it, and like it, and buy it, then there is no way you can expect a refund.... just like at a show, but, if he had me ship it to him, and he didn't like it, then by all means I would have refunded him his money.... that's all there is to it.... so stop assuming things you have no clue of.... because (in this instance) you are dead wrong!!

Oddly enough Neil, I have more clues than you think. But let us leave at that, at least for now...
 
Sounds to me like he should have bought his animal from you Neil

Seems odd that you are both from Tampa & have never met. I've never met you & don't have anything against you - even if I don't agree with you. If you have the 24 hr. refund clause that's cool. If I stated that I had a 48 hr. refund clause would I say you should honor 48 hrs. because I do - NO. As the seller, I reserve the right to offer a refund. I do not have to bow to you or anyone because they have "demaded" a refund - especially if they are VERY RUDE about it!! I offered Mike the two snakes he wanted & he was still belligerent. I kept my cool the whole time because I do not need to stoop to his level. Bottom line is - he ordered a snake & got the snake we both agreed upon. You made the 24 hr. clause - that doesn't mean I have to do business the same way. Because this Joe-Schmo is selling Mite-phase GTPs for $100/ea. does that mean you have to?? NO!!!!! I know people that have a seven day guarantee - are you goin' to change your's to a seven day guarantee?? I doubt it!! I offered him the snakes OR CREDIT & I think that is more than he deserved after acting the way he did. He got the snake he paid for.
 
Michael.... the fact is.... I DO offer a 7-day guarantee (always have).... the first 24 hours are for buyer's remorse.... the next six days are for health reasons only.... you might want to go to my site and read it for yourself???

Neil
 
Oh yeah, I forgot.... so because we are both from Tampa, I'm supposed to know everybody in this city???.... Do you know how ridiculous that sounds??.... Your bio says that you're from the USA.... I've never met you, either??.... do I have to go on??.... lol

Neil
 
Good for you Neil. I respect a good return policy. I don't need to go to your site, I'll take your word for it but I think you are missing the point. The point is = I DO NOT HAVE TO OPERATE MY BUSINESS THE SAME WAY YOU OPERATE YOURS. You don't have to do something because someone else does. Now I know someone who has a 30 day guarantee - are you going to change your policy - NO!!!! Get the point now Neil??? I doubt it - I think you just like to argue. By the way, I know someone selling Albino Ball Pythons for $50 - now you have to.
 
Hey Neil! I know someone who has a 1 year return policy on all animals they sell, for any reason. you gonna change your policy to match it?

Do you get it now Neil? If not maybe there is a lack of comprehension in the water in Tampa.
 
Michael.... you can run your business any way you want to, it's certainly no sweat off my back.... but, I can guarantee you, that if you put in your ads that "All Sales are Final".... "Once you give me your money, you will never get it back and you will have to keep the animal I send you".... you won't be around for too long.... now, do YOU get it???

Neil
 
He should've shopped around first before committing to a seller. That's his fault and you shouldn't have to pay for his stupidity.

Guess you missed this in my previous post Neil!

I do not need to offer a 24 hr. refund to get people to buy from me. I have no problems in that dept. - haven't had any for years. Don't forsee any in the future. I sell HEALTHY C.B.B. animals that speak for themselves. Usually, animals that I have produced. I would like to think I'm known for the quality of my animals not for 24 hr or seven day return policy that I advertise. The only people that NEED to offer a return policy are the people that sell CRAP.
 
CRAP or what I usually refer to as "Pet Store Quality" animals & we have all been to Pet Stores so take that any way you like.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NEIL YOU JUST BEEN BLAZED:flamethr: HAHAHAHA IM GONNA START CALLING YOU QUICK DRAW MIKE:2gunsfiri THAT WAS SWEET ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL WOULD JUST SHUT UP BUT NOT NEIL DEFENDER OF THE SHADY HES IS GONNA DRAG THIS THREAD OUT ANOTHE 50 PAGES LOL

Two more cents

I have read this thread and as a business owner I offer only credit
to any customer (advice from my lawyer) I would never give a refund! Also I think that most people that are considering any purchase shop around first then make a deal, not the other way around!

Michael Jolliff

My name is Jeremy Coates, and I am here to put in my 2-cents. Mike is a good guy. I have seen his animals at several shows, and as far as I am concerned the $200 animal was worth what the guy paid even if (he) is right. I just don't understand why Mike would all of a sudden change all ethics, and start sending out the wrong animals??? I have purchased many animals from Mike including some Albino Whitesides in October. I was very happy with the animals that I got, and if this guy is complaining then he has a serious problem. There is always someone out there that is selling the same "species" for a cheaper price, but is it the same animal? No. You get what you pay for. If you purchase from Mike Jolliff then you may pay a little more, but for the quality and the bloodline isn't it worth it? It is for me, and it should be for everyone. I have never heard a bad thing about Mike before, and I surely will not change my mind because he stuck to his policy. As long as I can provide the animal that has been paid for then there is no need for a refund of cash. I offer a credit. I guess that I don't see what the problem is. Now if the guy had called Mike up and said:

Hey, I am really trying to put a breeding group of these guys together, and there is a guy that offered me a pair for the price that I paid you for one. Would you please give me a refund, and I assure you that I will not forget this favor and come back to you in the future when I am looking to add higher quality animals.

If this had been the way that the situation was handled then I would say with 100% confidence that Mike would have refunded the money without question. Well, that is all that I can say here, and "Mike Alvarez" I hope that you learn something from what I put here. Violence and harsh language does not get you anywhere in this life. Try being nicer, and people will appreciate it.
