    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....

Just a quick thumbs up for a terrific buyer. I have now had the pleasure of doing business with Nikko on several occasions. He has always been a man of his word, payments have always cleared and even arrived faster than our agreed upon terms. He is very passionate about his reptiles, and reptiles in general. I would not hesitate to do business with Nikko now and into the future.:):yesnod:

Not that it really matters too much, it just pisses me off.

Nikko began as a decent guy/good buyer. He purchased a few irian jayas off me, for the purposes of reselling, I gave him a good deal, less than 100bucks each. Soon after he wanted more to resell and also a possible het granite female jag. I didnt want to let her go, but I did for $450.00 shipped, the only stipulation was if he ever planned to sell her I would buy her back for what he paid, which he agreed to. I also "fronted" him 4 irian jayas for $75.00 each, which he promised to paypal me the $300.00, which I believed him, save him $50 on shipping and include them with the bunch. Well, a couple months go by, no $300.00, finally he pays me $200.00 2 days ago, and I also see he has the female jag up for sale, when I question him on the phone, he says, he just posted her to see if there was any interest, and that he did not intend to sell her. But then I see he put up a new classified for her yesterday, I ask him again to abide by our terms, I will paypal him to get her back, minus the $100.00 he still owes me.

No response, but the add is immediately deleted. Now today, same thing, another add up selling her, but this time instead of calling her what she is : an 88% Irian Jaya Jag 50% possible het granite, (from my breeding of !00% het granite 75% Irian Jaya Jag to a normal irian jaya female) He is selling her as a Het Granite. I am sure the add will be taken down by the time I finish typing this. And a P.S. is included in his newest add saying "P.S. Dont believe everything you see or hear" Implying that if I post on his classified thread, asking to buy my girl back, I am some how lying."

As I started this thread, it doesnt really matter, not a huge deal, not the end of the world, but dishonest people piss me off, that's all. And over what? Just to try to make a couple hundred extra dollars, shows how much a person values their reputation. I wonder if I will ever see the $100.00 he still owes me. I won't be holding my breath.
