    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....

Inquiry Steven Brenner Transaction

calebroad said:
Your correct, nothing has changed since the agreement to make good on the deal by February 1, 2017. I was not trying to cause a fuss, the silence from Stephen Brenner has me almost certain he will not come through.

If he does come through, I will come on this BOI and say I was wrong, and that Stephen Brenner came through.

Any actions I have taken over the course of this transaction have been dropped and have failed. Stephen Brenner does not deny he owes me the $4,000.00. And last time we spoke (months ago) he agreed to make good by February 1, 2017.

There is no disagreement here, Stephen Brenner says that he is stuck, because his girlfriend loves my turtle, but that he does not have the money to pay.

This BOI almost always turns on me, but Stephen Brenner does not dispute the heist. In hindsight, I probably should have handled things differently, but, hindsight is 20/20. I was not expecting the man to accept my turtle, and then tell me to buzz off

Thanks for replying to my post Chris!

There was never any doubt in my mind that you were owed the turtle that was agreed upon or cash. Yes you could've handled things differently but that's now in the past. You're still the one that got screwed and hopefully Stephen comes through and resolves this ASAP!!

I'm not saying you're not in the right. But maybe wait until the deal has not been fulfilled, before coming back on here saying it won't be fulfilled.

Probably doesn't do you any favors to be incendiary.

So, Steven Brenner and I, agreed that by February 1, 2017. The deal would be completed, with him sending me a split scute snow res.

Although I had little hope of this happening, he sent a text yesterday evening and stated that he has the funds and is working to get the turtle asap. - This is great, and I appreciate him communicating.

He politely asked if I would wait a day or so late, maybe he can ship Wednesday for me to get Thursday. I said yes, and agreed to this, so I am updating this post.

Obviously, I am very happy he is communication with me, and should he make right on the deal, it would be a tremendous help. In the future, I am going to take major precautions, to avoid these situations. Of which I have encountered twice now.

Stephen Brenner sent the split scute snow res, I received this morning. Packaging was very professional and nice. This resolves any issues.

I said I was sorry to Steven this occurred

Do you have the tracking number? It seems as if, since you are embroiled in yet another transaction dispute, you might want this one shown as taken care of, to erase any reputation you might be getting as an easy mark.

Could we please see some proof?
