Bad Guy Randy Gonzalez AKA IRandy

[deobra2869]

how do you delete a thread? I was unaware you can make it a inquiry thread and that would be better suited for this topic

 

[ozz465]

if im reading right your best offer was 50% off?

 

[deobra2869]

I agree it should have been done in Pm sorry that was my mistake

 

[deobra2869]

starting out if that was refused then it would go up from there. Just like a bid on something for sale isnt that how best offer works? If you bid something high you may be paying more than you can get an item for so you bid less and work up?

 

[fuzzylogix]

that's the thing, you can't delete this thread, its here FOREVER as a bad guy post because you didn't get the snake at a price you wanted to pay...

 

[zzzdanz]

Once it's here it's here for good...That's why it's a good idea to think about what you post before hitting enter.

 

[fuzzylogix]

have you made the subject of this BOI aware of this thread?

 

[deobra2869]

no not because I didnt get the price for what I wanted to pay. I would have payed more if he would have at least given me pics of the parents now I dont even care to buy her. Sorry I did not know you could make an inquiry post till tard told me, and I didnt know these were permanent. I thought there were only good guy and bad guy threads on here, and it wasnt really a good experience so I didnt see how good guy would suit the topic.

I apologize this should have been an INQUIRY THREAD

 

[deobra2869]

didnt know you were suppose to

 

[Shadera]

Anyone who reads that ad/thread can see that you had zero intention of purchasing that animal beyond your first offer. You were just trying to be difficult and you know it.

 

[deobra2869]

ok sure what ever you say

 

[Shadera]

You didn't ask for pictures until someone else whose post was deleted questioned whether it was an enchi and asked for pictures of the parents.

That you didn't know there was anything other than a good or bay guy prefix (although I doubt the truth of that, you're not a rank newbie here), proves this is a knee jerk purely vindictive move.

 

[fuzzylogix]

and you still need to let mr gonzalez know about this thread

 

[bobtard]

So, you really expect us to believe that you never noticed the light bulbs or question marks?

I have been trying to work out a deal with randy on his enchis for the past month and have inquired on them 3 times to try to negotiate a better price and get pics of the parents.
First I told him I had got a female enchi for much cheaper and asked if he would come down on the price

So you were trying to get him to come down on a price that wasn't posted? Odd.

So I wanted proof of the parents and better pics of remaining babies (i had heard the babies might have kinks or other defects or that they were a wild caught line

Did you need proof that it was indeed ball pythons and not burms that produced them?
You could’ve asked him about defects instead of asking for pics. That way if he says there’s no issues and you find one, then you can hold him to it and post a real Bad Guy thread.

I had asked randy for pics of the parents telling him that I know enchis vary with color and age and that I had just bought an enchi that looked much brighter. I figured the light in his picture was just poor (the case for alot of us LOL) and he responded saying sure if I am going to buy her. I told him not for the original asking price of $450 shipped when I had just bought one that was very bright and bigger than his girls for nearly half the price, and told him that if he would be willing to bring the price down then maybe (obviously I am interested being the 3rd time in the past month I have inquired about them)

Yeah, because every breeder wants to take pictures beyond what he/she already has just to make a sale in which they don’t get their asking price. Gee, spend more time and make less money. SIGN ME UP!

However all I did was inquire about your reptiles in the same manner that anybody else with concerns about giving 350-450 bucks to someone

No you didn’t, you inquired the same way everyone with short pockets and big dreams does…with the intention of knocking 200 bucks off the price of a highly sought after morph.

All in all I have learned my lesson........ I will not buy from Randy Gonzalez AKA IRandy. He had a lack of customer service and does not have respect for the customers dollar (or atleast not mine, and I have to much respect for my money and how hard I work for it to buy just anything)

Good thing you respect your hard earned money and not anybody else’s. Wonder how you would feel if your boss came to you and told you that he has witnessed other people performing your duties for less money, so he’s going to match the lower salary. Wowzers.

Im sure people have had good experiences with Randy and Im sure his animals are nice..... but if you wont provide at least pics of the parents like most people willingly do for potential buyers, then Im sorry you have lost a potential long time customer.

Who sends pics of parents? Definitely sales of hets. MAYBE for reference if the hatchling isn’t as nice as the parent and you want to show its potential, but parent pics are NOT necessary when it’s a freaking co-dom. Especially when it displays its quality within the pics.

it is not a happy feeling when it seems your money and concerns for what you spend it on mean nothing.
Deobra Martin

Nor is it a happy feeling to have somebody insulting your work. Place something on the market that you made and see how it feels to get lowballed after all the hours you put in taking care of and worrying about the welfare of a collection of animals.

I had discussed a higher price with him previously in December so it is not that I wanted it for a ridiculously cheap price.I was trying to go for $400 shipped instead of $450 shipped not to much of a difference but enough to make it worth while. And when I posted $250 plus shipping it was because he had no price on his ad. So I put a price out there.

In other words, you weren’t going to be happy until it was free.

Upon his decline I decide I would ask for pics of the parents to see if it was worth me perusing at a higher price, and why be irate?

Why bother with a tire kicker? If you were gonna buy it, you would have counter offered 400 shipped the moment he said 450 shipped.

He handled it very nicely by declining the offer. The part that was not nice about it is when I tried to get pics of the parents and possibly offer a higher price he said only if I buy her. Why would make that commitment with out seeing pics of parents?

Why commit to a buyer who aint buying? Why waste time on someone who isn’t gonna be happy until they save 200 dollars? You’ll learn one day grasshoppa, when you put an animal up for sale with adequate pics representing your animal and people ask you for more pics of diff angles, holding identification, posing with Pedobear, etc. Not everyone has time to run around taking and uploading pics.

…purchaser is your pay check they help pay your bills by purchasing from you, and you have to have respect for that.

Sure, I respect you wanting to spend your hard earned money. But I don’t respect you cheating another man out of his hard earned money because youre a cheapskate with your hard earned money. Bargain hunting isn’t a bad thing…spitting in the face of someone who worked their ass off for multiple years caring for their animals is.

that is perfectly fine with me I will give my money to someone who wants to pay there bills or bring up funds for a new project. If you are to good for me...... then my money is too good for you

I hope you do give your money to those that need it to pay their bills. The ones listing their collections at 75% off…cause their kids are hungry and their snakes are sick.
You get what you pay for.

This thread is a joke, and youre a joke of a customer.
No offense.

Youre asking too much.

 

[deobra2869]

I dont come on the board of inquiry. when you post a thread on here it doesnt show a lightbulb? and I only bought the membership so I could view who gave me karma and so I can bump my threads thats all. I dont know what other functions the membership does I didnt read the benefits just asked HHmoore how I could view my karma and he told me to buy a membership. I will let randy know and apologize to him and let him know of this thread.

 

[deobra2869]

[deobra2869]

thats fine with me I apologized and admitted that I was wrong about how I posted this but now you are trying to put words in my mouth and say that I had no intentions of even being the animal. You are right you win LOL. So now that you win and you are right I will direct this comment to the others and Randy Gonzalez again.
I Apologize this should have been an inquiry ad and any potential buyers who inquire on randy will see that I am an idiot not him.
Happy?
Your welcome

And Randy I do sincerely apologize.

Since you want to act lik a n00b, read this before you ever make a definitive statement about any other breeders:
