    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Bad Guy Sheldon Brown & Charles Lowery

Lastly, I am posting the signed trade agreement/contract (one copy before I signed and one copy after I signed). It is worth noting that Sheldon contacted me after signing the document to say that the picture of his snake was not correct. However, I had already printed/signed the doc. He sent me a picture of the correct animal to include in the trade agreement and asked that I send him the contract via a text message picture, because his email was not working (I don't know if I can post text messages, but I will try to figure that out).

Okay, there's a user here, MonkerZ. He lists his name at Matthew (no last name) and location is Utah. He has a couple old old ads here. One sales ad says, "Call Richard at 847-838-2478".
Another ad says, call "Sheldon" at the same phone number. Here are the links:

The county website (for Antioch and Round Lake Beach) indicates one address may just be vacant land and the other address has no property records attached to it. Of course, the county website could be incorrect or outdated.

Doing a search on Richard some databases list the Richard at that address as 75. Some list early thirties. Wonder if Sheldon is a son or just a alias?

That Mathew account "MonkerZ" was posting from Illinois as well. He was never posting from Utah.
 
WOW everyone! Sorry this is brief, but I'm at work and can't get caught posting ;)

Thanks for everyone's concern.

Thanks to the wayback machine. It has Chuck's name on it. Now I just need to find the domain history.

Sheldon's name is all over that website too. I don't have a whois or domain tools paid account to look at the domain registration history or I would see if the address matches Richard Brown's. At this point I don't think it matters. All names have been tied to that address and they share the same last name.

One other tidbit:

An "S. Schultz" signed for my piebald girl; not Sheldon, not Charles...another alias possibly?
 
Interesting, Nick. If you try to go to "www.concrete-saw-blades.com", you end up at CyVon.com. CyVon is owned by Eric Schultz, who is 31 and lives in Antioch, IL.

Someone named Schultz signed for the snake.

From CyVon's site:
