    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 won both of her auctions here on fauna. I won a northern red tail and a long tail. I offered her 250 dollars for the northern weeks ago but she wanted closer to 300 dallors for her. She finally put the snake up for auction and I won her for 200. I also won a long tail for 110. She will not text me or email me back. I have offered to pick them up or meet at the reptile show. I have my 310 dollars and want my snakes.


I had a couple people call me from the reptile show and told me she traded the long tail I won for some leopard geckos. I contact the person she made the trade with and they confirmed it's the same snake.

The auctions are still posted up so please feel free look at them. The moderators are refreshing them so they can't be deleted

I still would like the northern boa I won in auction and any help would greatly be appreciated.

Respectfully,
Alex
 
Alex's bid came in on time in her auction. The nonsense she posted that there was no bids and she is keeping the snake is ridiculous. It appears she is just unhappy with the final price they sold for.

But let's just play devils advocate and somehow she was looking at a unrefreshed page from earlier and the day and thought there was no bids. Would you suddenly say "hey there were no bids and I'm keeping my snake" when you can clearly see there was a bid? What kind of customer service is that?

He made a bid at the opening price she set and won the auction.

I see where the bid came in, on time, for the Adult Male Anery Longicauda . So, that one was won.
If Sara traded this snake, after the auction was won, I consider that action to be rather unethical.

However, the auction, for the 08 Female North Brazil BCC, had an end date/time of 6/15/12 @ Midnight. The bid, by the OP (for this auction), came in on 06-15-2012 @ 11:56 PM. That is after midnight on the date of 06-15-2012.
See, on 06-14-12, it is that date up until 11:59 PM. Once it hit Midnight, it was the next day (06-15-12). So, I do not see how this auction, for the 08 Female North Brazil BCC, was won.:shrug01:

Anonymous third party information doesn't fly here, Alex - if you want to post that some people told you something, you've got to identify the source(s).

Typically, a posted end date of 6/15 at midnight would indicate the end of 6/15...not the start.

That isn't what the seller had intended nor how the buyer read it.

She stated that the bid came in ahead of time and that wasn't the issue she has with the auctions.
 
well if you look at the auction for the anery it has the same dates and times listed and when he bid she said it still had 24 hours left on the auction
she clearly meant for it to end 24hours after her posted end date/time
you cant have it both ways with the same times posted
what she did was 100% wrong (im also willing to bet she had no idea about the ending date and time mistake till she reads your post)
what she did reflects badly on the auction selection

You are right. I see, in that Ad/Auction, where she intended it to be until the end of 06-15-12.
So, she is the one who is "messed up" with dates/times.;)
Considering, I agree that she did wrong on both auctions and not just the one.

I don't want to sidetrack things too much, but this is an important point. Midnight is both the start and end of a day, depending on perspective. Typically, if midnight is a start, departure, or opening time, it would be written/considered 0000; If it is an end, arrival, or closing time, it would be 2400.
Also, as Mike pointed out, (in the other auction) at 14:19 on 6/15 Sara posted
Auction ends at midnight tonight.

I noticed it to and pointed it out to her but she wanted the auction to keep on going so I said fine and i still won.

I say file a claim at small claims court. Call a lawyer. Make an example out of her an auction with no reserve is a binding contract. If she wanted 300 why did she not set a reserve of 300 instead she started the bidding at 200. So when she posted she was willing to take 200 for her she found a better deal and backed out.

You're kidding, right?
 
It's a shame someone with a pretty good track record, a half a dozen good guy posts would make such a bad decision and then not even respond.
