    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....

There's certainly nothing stopping you from trying to sell them. However, considering the stunts you pulled and the lies you've told, you may find that your own choices have made things much more difficult for you. It's great that you finally decided to issue the refund, but that does nothing to negate the fact that you knowingly ripped someone off, and lied to cover your tracks. People may not be too quick to forget those details.
 
You may want to re-read this thread considering Andres Oritz had full knowledge and visual evidence on the bearded dragon he received. He clearly wasn't happy with his purchase, and I refunded him rightfully so. Didn't want the bearded dragon back because it had already had to under go the stress of shipping through the postal service. This thread should be removed considering every well known seller has an had to deal with an unpleasant customer at some point. Please known this was settled! There is two sides to every story...
 
I don't see the point of bumping your own "bad guy" thread after over 5 years, but it's permanent and won't be removed.

Lest you forget, this was your side...after you had falsely accused him earlier of manipulating the images regarding an animal you intentionally mislabeled.

Two sides?

Your.

Side.

Sweet resurrection move on this thread, by the way.

LOL, yeah, that Ricky Pellechia is clearly a "mastahmind"! Good going there, Ricky in resurrecting your bad guy thread.

As you said (and thanks, Nick) "I was definitely in the wrong, I just didn't want other people to know that ..."

Good job Mr. "mastahmind", I'm sure the herp community appreciates the reminder.

Hey, Ricky ... thanks for posting the link to the original ad of Owen Edwards.

So not only did you knowingly buy a partial trans from Owen (he was honest), you clearly misrepresented the dragon AND used Owen's photos from nearly 8 months ago to sell the dragon to Andres. Low, man.

The only one hurting your "rep" is you, Ricky. Flat out lying through your teeth and fraudulent misrepresentation does not a trustworthy, reputable vendor make.

Even if I would've given you benefit of doubt, "kys" typically refers to 'kill yourself.'

And I wouldn't do business with anyone who throws phrases like that out. Talk about unprofessional.

I agree that if kys means kill your self that is egregiously unprofessional. However, as far as the original transaction there is no doubt in my mind that Ricky ruined his own reputation with his actions during that sale and after in his dealings with his buyer. I don't see how anyone could trust him.
 
I hadn't seen this thread the first time around, but now I've read all of it, and I can say I will never do business with Ricky Pellechia. If "kys" does indeed mean "kill yourself", Ricky should be ashamed of himself. There are those of us (myself included) who have lost dear loved ones through suicide, and we DO NOT take it lightly. That comment alone is enough to earn someone a slot on my blacklist.
 
Wow, I didn't see this thread the first time around. Thanks for bringing your own shadiness to light Ricky. At first, it seemed like you realized the error of your ways which would have caused me to give you the benefit of the doubt, but your most recent contribution sure blows that out of the water. I assume you meant to say unpleasant seller? Andrew seemed pretty damn reasonable from my point of view, considering you out and out lied to and about him.
