    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....

Bad Guy Pureagenda (EllMarie Richard) Sent me a sickly bearded Dragon

woke her up for the pics, so she prob. will look a bit grogy.

Sonia this whole deal must have been difficult for you, you have really done well as far as making the arrangements and trying to put weight on that poor dragon.
I'd have no problem doing a transaction with you if one ever came up, you certainly have shown that you are patient and responsible.
 
Yes, it has been very stressfull, both ways in handeling it with Ellie and with making sure the dragon got enough attention and time for her feedings and extra soakings. I appreciate what you say also:). It means a lot after all this
 
Well, I've e-mailed Ellie about 4 times but still haven't heard from her about when she'll be able to be at her house to recive the dragon.
 
After her rudeness to me, her lack of communication to you, sending a dragon that could not even hold its own head up and even now can't eat on her own, I certainly would never do business with her.

..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'd probably be a bit skeptical about just blithely sending the dragon back and trusting this seller to follow through with the refund. Someone who flaunts a blatant disregard for a venue such as the BOI, while seemingly trying to extol her own choice to support Bad Guys by purchasing from them, as if it's some sort of virtue, is probably someone who should be trusted just about as far as she can be picked up and thrown.

One Bad Guy thread may not be enough to kill her business, but I guarantee that the way she's conducted herself has scared off at least a few potential customers. It's not like what she's peddling is a particularly scarce commodity and people would have no choice but to deal with her attitude if they want a BD.

Some people manage to convince themselves of some pretty oddball things. This seller seems to have herself sold on the idea of her own infallibility, and that having had some positive sales in the past somehow negates even the remote possibility of her being wrong this time. That mentality isn't going to be very conducive to fostering any sense of faith in her willingness to right wrongs. Neither within the confines of this particular situation, and how she chooses to correct this mistake, nor to potential customers who may read this thread in the future.
 
Good luck! I fought with her forever trying to get responses about a dragon I was purchasing. But I got a very healthy dragon. I wish you the best and am sorry for the problems you have dealt with.
 
Thanks, I was hoping for more than was expecting much from her. But, she showed how she perfers to handle things on here.
 
I'm with you, Dan. I would be hesitant about sending that Dragon back without any kind of refund. She was trusted the first time, it doesn't make sense to trust her again. If it was me, I would nurse it back to health and sell it later on, even if I only got half of what I payed for.

she destroys her business

She has already destroyed her rep by sending out a dragon that couldn't hold its head up and even now cannot eat unassisted, and then throwing tantrums when people point that out to her. Thank goodness it was Sonia that got her, she has been so gentle and patient caring for this poor dragon.
 
It was my first intention to begin with also to rehabilitate her and find a good home for her also. She made a little running jump to her decoration she likes to hang out on, And has also been keeping her eyes open throught the day. So, she's showing great improvment.
