    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....

Need help identifying bogus seller (dale and valerie of NH and MA)

Dale,
You did say you would take care of it by the end of the month in your last email. I missed that part.
Would it be to much to ask to have one of the parties post this email exchange?
 
I'm still pondering this whole deal of having to take these snakes to a vet to be sexed. Seems to me most folks get that bit down pat BEFORE they start breeding. I'd really like to see the vet bill for those two snakes being sexed as females.

It also seems funny to me that his wife brags about him not doing business under his name (so this customer can't find him). Why hide who you are if you're up front and honest? I know a lot of breeders small and large that do business under a company name. Can't say I know one though that doesn't want a customer to know their actual name.

I'm just a small time breeder in my first year of producing hatchlings but to have your name dragged in the mud over a matter of a mis-sexed snake and a $150.00 transaction seems very short sighted to me. I'd rather ship out one of our normal breeder females, take the loss and have a happy customer than have this sort of poor customer service reputation (and oh I have 4 kids too and bills and whatever....no excuses there....your personal life isn't your customer's problem).

Here's the most recent series of email exchanges:

Me: (first i called after having my law-pro friend suggest that i try to get his address by talking to him normally instead of trying to get it from T-mobile. When he didn't respond, i sent an email...)

I need your address so i can file my claim. I will just send it to your old grove st. Nashua address and we'll have to go to court in Nashua if i don't get an updated address.

The more time and effort i have to spend on this, the more I'm going to have to ask for in the claim. Please let's just get this over with.

-Jessica

them:

Hey ya know what I should take you to court for putting my name and phone number on fauna hey you wanna blast me on there fine but puting my name and number and former address potentially puts me and my family (which includes 4 children)in danger from some psyco idiot I don't think that's right do you. honestly putting my family in danger for a 100 bucks I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy I will get you your money by the end of the month so do what ya gotta do there should be some kind of retaliation on my part for what you did but there won't be I just want to give you your money and get you outta our life now that I have to change my phone number I thank you for that very much I was getting bored with the number anyways I guess


me:

if you do bad business, and use your home as your place of business, you get your business info posted publicly by the person you screwed. If that also happens to be your home phone, that's not my fault. I found that information publicly accessible too. Plus, anyone who really wants it can buy it from a people search service - so no, you don't have a case there. Sorry.

I'm filing the claim tomorrow but this whole thing is a giant pain in my ass and I'd rather you just paypal it to me tonight or something. I'm not asking for the gas money for getting him sexed at NERD, or the cost of the rats i fed him, or any of that other crap, but i will ask for all of that if i have to go to court. I'll also have to add in court fees, car rental for getting there, car rental for getting to Nashua to file the claim, and compensation for having to take court-day off from work, which will all probably cost me an additional 400 bucks or more, which i'll ask the court to award me if it comes to that.

I have no patience left, and I'm not screwing around anymore.


****
then i read everyone saying i had no claim because i sold the snake. I mentioned this part of the story to my law-pro friend and we mulled it over and decided that the case might suffer due to that detail. After thinking about it some more, i sent my final email to Dale:

the fauna people pointed something out that puts the matter in your favor, and i can no longer be sure that i'd win any case against you, so i'm dropping it. Visit the thread for further details.

I guess you get to keep my money. Enjoy it. Buy yourself something pretty.

Oh, and thanks for the scam; it reminded me that only fools trust strangers - a valuable lesson in this world.

cheers.


if i had understood dale's promise that he'll give me 100 bucks by the end of this month, i would have changed my tone sooner. I apologized for that mistake because i am sorry i misread it. It remains to be seen that he will follow through this time, and i hate to say i am hopeful - but i am.
 
This is really all over 100 dollars?

Jesus Christ Almighty.....

I'm taking another week off....weaning myself slowly from the stupidity that just pounds this place constantly.
 
KathyLove said:
But you could come back once per month or so with an update on the lack of progress of the seller making things right. That will keep bumping it to the top so people won't forget that they shouldn't deal with this couple.

Please don't do that.
 
bigevilherps said:
One thing she seems to forget I got screwed too
You sure did! It is going to take some time to hide from this thread. Now every time someone does a search on the BOI about your business, this will pop up.

Do you have any vet info about the snake being sexed as a female? I am just curious if you are using the "vet did it" line as your scapegoat. I think you screwed up by sexing the snake wrong and your ego will not admit that after 20 years you made the mistake.

I am glad you are willing to fix this. In my book, that means something. The fact that you are at least trying. Many people run and hide and never come back. I will give you props for that. :) You are doing the right thing.

save the praise for when he follows through. seriously, he's been "willing" to fix it this whole time. Will he ever? dog only knows.

You have to walk a fine line. While he should definitely fix it, if hes stating on here he will fix it, I feel the need to give them the benefit of a doubt. Calling names and harassing someone about petty things isnt going to make them do what they ought. But, being somewhat nice, and waiting for them to do the right thing, is what i feel helps make things work.

Of course we need to wait and see. But, lets hope it does go through the way you would like. of course.
 
I agree being deliberately unkind is counter-productive (although someone adding a little vinegar a while back seemed to inspire Dale to state his intent publicly, which i personally am happy he did).

I'm just saying, I've thanked him for his stated intentions more than once and then never got what i was promised. I'm saving my gratitude now for something other than words, because words in the past have meant little or nothing.

I appreciate seeing evidence of effort, but i don't want him to feel like the pressure is off just because he made a promise, especially because of his record with me and promises.
 
Jess could you email me your address for payment I will try to send you somthing within the next few weeks but this will be paid and resolved by sept. 1st I have no paypal acct. Or a credit card or debit card to even pay you threw paypal. thanks, dale
