    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....

I am trying to handel this as profesionally as posible and if I said anything to affend anyone it wasn't meant. I didn't mean that, I was just going to ship her in the same manner that she arrived in. but re-pack her properly, secured in a cotton bag and secure in the box with newspaper and paper towels to suport her on the way.

I wasn't referring to you Sonia. My statement was for Ellie, in reference to this:

THIS IS RIDICULOUS I HAVE WORK and other things going on sorry couldn't respond Intially You said when she arrived "she was adorable and arrived on time" Then 5 hours later start sending me emails on ways to get get half off or "partial refund".
So you want me to give you the dragon and some cash as well? You can hold on for a response and not jump to such Irrational, berating and talking about me . You are an adult you cant buy a product ... like it compliment it and say its adorable and doing well. then ask for some money back along with it. We could've resolved this professionally but you are so impulsive and ready to change your mind about a dragon that is as advertised. She is a beautiful dragon and as for age 2 yrs is correct she is in shed. She is going to end up being a beautiful breeder and once she sheds you'll be left with a gorgeous adult trans and a partial refund? I don't think thats how life works with purchasing things but if you want your cake and to eat it to. This is something that is not going to be acknowledged any further Ive been only given great compliments and referrals for my dragons and how they are. Your taking dark photos of a dragon I barely even can tell is mine and with the "wrong date". You have to let her get weight on get her shed over with first of all!! I've been dealing with dragons and sales and clients for along time now we all know dragons and what great animals they are. I know if one bad thing is said people who have no idea or havent even done business with me are going to be quick to put their unfounded jabs and 2 cents in. It's unfortunate and I've seen many great sellers and breeders on here get one angry person or comment and it turns into a mess .
Some of the best people and best experiences I've purchased from have been called horrible on BOI THREAD's.
So at the end of the day you can go off one persons bad reviews but, it doesnt make or break the business.
That's all I have to say Im not taking this any further .

I cant buy a dragon say im happy with it decide I didn't really have the 300 to spend but i want the dragon still and still want my money. Lets all ponder this for a second.

Thank you to all my happy customers and supporters throughout the past 5 yrs Ill continue to provide you with awesome dragons and thats all I can do.

They were talking about pureagenda. That's why it says seller and not buyer.

. Be careful of this buyer. she will take you for a ride.

Ive purchased and sold 100 plus dragons within the last 5 years and have had all types of dragons pass through my hands. She is a great dragon. I was asked for money and a partial refund and then a full refund with her keeping the dragon.

As for you throwing in your 2 cents who have never had the pleasure of doing business with me . You don't know the full story you've only seen sonia's side in the way she depicts it. Talking to herself on the thread for pages and never just emailing me and resolving it. I don't have all day and night to get on here and make up stories and talk negatively about others or try to scam.
So I guess the person who posts the most gets believed over the plain facts. She was shipped more than well costing $60 dollars on my side which was included with the sale price that sonia continuously tried to talk me down on.
Again, excited to have her back in my loving arms

The only reason your going for a ride is because your cargo was not what was promised. If you've done so many great transactions in the last 5 years why hasn't anyone come forward to say so? You dont have all day or night to get on here but when you do you avoid questions from others....just like you avoided the buyers emails until this thread was started. The only reason it seems people are on her side is she has proven her case, you haven't and you've avoided questions. As far as the $60 for shipping has nothing to do without, you agreed on the price.

You were not professional in this thread and a lot of people will see that and not buy from you, knowing if there is a problem this is how they can expect you to react.
 
Ok Ive read this whole thread and I do have to comment on it...First of EllieMarie I honestly cant stand how your posts for dragons go to little (Normal text) to huge text. When I click on an ad the first thing I want to see is the genetics and the picture of the dragon first and foremost. Second this dragon to me isnt worth 300 at all because even your pictures from your own ad she looks darker then what she should be for her morph. And Third if you have had this dragon for any and I do mean any amount of time why does she still have the 72 on her back from the previous owner? This dragon does show signs of something wrong because of her dark coloring and the sagging skin. You keep saying she was healthy and happy, but how can she be healthy and happy when she keeps switching hands? I hope for your sake that she actually survives the trip back to you and before I see her posted again on this site she will have been treated for worms and puts more weight back on to her fat pads and has a decent shed. I give my .02 cents when it needs to be said and in this case I really hope you listen to me when I say Swallow your pride and just shoosh and get this dragon back to health before she is a fatality!
 
Oh and one last thing..Sonia if I were you I would video tape the packaging job when you send this poor girl back to her. I think it would be in your best interest if you would capture everything on video just in case. I think the treatment that this dragon has gotten in your care has been hard work and frustrating to you, but she has a decent chance of survival because of your hard work. I am honestly praying that EllieMarie gets her head out of her butt and keeps on with the treatment and the one on one with this female. I dont like to see any dragons being abused and I dont like to come down on breeders with only 5 years experience because to me they are still learning. I dont believe you are trying to rip anyone off in anyway, but to me this dragon should have never been sold in the first place. When a dragon is attacked they have trauma issues and pulling them out of the trauma takes alot of time pulling them out. Ive only been in this hobby for a short time myself, but even I am aware of this. EllieMarie should not have sold you that dragon because trauma to a dragon can cause it not to eat, parasites to become unstable and present itself, and aggression towards other dragons in some cases when they become healthy again. Like I said its a learning experience and I dont think EllieMarie has learned enough just yet. I think she is still learning the hobby and hopefully she wont forget this site is used to inform people first and foremost.
 
I will, my camera has video. And I'll also take some photos when I pack her up. ya, she mostly just lays around, with her eyes closed, or sits in the shallow water dish I provided her. Though she perks up, and sometimes opens her mouth willingly when, It's time for her syringe feeding. And, it seems to make her happy
 
And yes it has been very frustrateing. and unfortuneately the dragon has paid for that. Though the dragon has plumped up from soakings and feeding as well as parisite control, I do hope Ellie keeps up on her care and parasite control.
 
Im glad she is doing better then and Lucille sometimes you cant help certain people, but you sure can make others aware. Thank you for posting that link here. Hopefully she learns, but like I said the bio is here to inform others. I personally have learned Im not going to deal with her ;).
 
I would contact Paypal. File a claim. That's what they are there for and that's why they collect fee's. Just my opinion. Sorry, for your dragon. How is she doing now?
 
I have, and it's in the process of being investigated. She's doing a bit better as I've mentioned before, she can hold her hed up, so I dont have to support her during her soaks. Seems very happy and looks forward to feeding times. But hasn't touched anything on her own yet. It was really cute though when she opened her mouth ready for me to feed her the other day. So it tells me she's willing to fight this. and hopefully will come through.
 
This makes me so sad to read. I feel so bad for that poor dragon. I'd be heartbroken if mine was in bad shape like yours is. I can't believe pureagenda doesn't care about her (and probably others) health. Im glad the board of inquiry exists so it makes me aware of people like her.
 
It is good to see her on the mend though. I can only hope it continues, (when she's returned) till she's put on a good amount of weight and strength.
 
Haven't gotten my cold packs in the mail yet, hope fully by this coming week they'll come in the mail.Only other coldpacks I have are the hard plastic (block) ones, and, those won't do. Haven't heard anything from pureagenda.
 
The dragon looks nice and plump, haven't weighed her but she's moveing around some. and, is showing some good improvement. So she should make it, on an overnight trip, and will still get stronger, till I'm able to pack her up for the trip back. i'm thinking of enclosing some of the food I've been feeding her too in a small container.
