    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 hope that one of them just stole the wording for the ad but who knows .. The snakes dont look like the same one.

They have both been sent a link to this thread.
 
Hmmm, fishy. I only saw Steven's ad, but I was suspicious because the animal in the ad is most definitely NOT a pastel pied, and I couldn't see any "gold coin" marking. I can see the marking in James' ad. The wording is exact and the trades they are looking for are the same morphs, so *shrugs.* Also, it's not exactly a great price for a small male pied.
 
There's no IP match, and a cursory look found nothing to suggest they are the same person. However, looking at the whole picture, to me it brings Steven into question, rather than James.

James has been a member since January of 2009.
He has posted that exact ad 5 times, the first time being on 1/01/12, and the most recent being 1/10/12.
The first time he advertised that snake, with a similarly worded ad was in December, bringing the total times he's advertised that snake to 7.

Steven joined yesterday and posted that ad today, 1/11/12 with an ad text that is virtually a copy and paste of James' except for the weight and the things considered for trade.

Two pictures used in the two ads are not of the same snake.
If Steven is legit, that's definitely and odd way to post an ad.
 
Stevie was passing a Pied off as a Pastel Pied on a Facebook classified page. Wen asked to provide paperwork from BHB that he bought it as a Pastel Pied he disappeared.
 
I know steven personally ive seen his piebald......the one in the second ad is larger as stevens is only 100+grams maybe.....im down the road from steven...both are diff snakes.
 
Different snakes, different people...at this point it no longer matters.

All honesty has flown out the window and for some reason I'm pretty sure we all think something fishy is going on lol.

Obviously someone is lying about something lol, if not multiple things.
 
Ive persobally tried callin steven today...and let him know to log on...james ad is a completely diff snake....as being a personal friend of steve I wont allow him to mis label his snake intentionally.....his piebald is a snale lasti heard it was 96 grams that was 2 weeks ago ik he hasnt.grown that much since....and as far as pastel goes he definately nt that..... Steve told me numerous of times he purchased his piebald from bhb as a male regular piebald for 1200$.....hopes this clears things up a bit....
 
THER IS NO SCAMS ALL I DID WAS COPY OFF HIS AD THERE NO LAW ON COPYING WRITTING HERE MY PIE IS JUST LIKE HIS THATS WHY I USED HIS AD THERE NO WORRIES
 
just saw both adds he copyed word for word from my add if he didnt then where is there a gold coin spot on his snakes tail ???????
 
to clear everything up i was to he was possible pastel. And when i weigh him he just ate. i didn't know you were post not weight your snakes when they just ate. Sorry for the about this i re do the add.
 
I've known Jimmy for a long time...& he's told me several times about this pied having the smilie face. I just think that Steven didnt feel like writing out a description himself. Next time you copy something word for word, just pay attention to the details next time. =/

You should never copy another person's ad, word-for-word, for ANY reason. It's lazy, misleading, and dishonest and it causes suspicion to fall not only on yourself, but also on that person. Steven fully admits to copying and pasting James' ad- Steven why did you choose that particular ad? Also, there is no such thing as "possible pastel"- pastel is a co-dominant morph, so something is either normal (no pastel gene), pastel, or super pastel. A pastel pied is very distinctly different-looking than a normal pastel, especially at that young age. Steven, if you are going to continue to sell animals on here, just a word of advice- learn to write your own ads for your animals, in your own words. Also, you would do well to proofread your posts for spelling and grammar. It might not always be fair, but I immediately become less patient with and slightly suspicious of any seller or buyer whose writing lacks all punctuation and is fraught with misspellings of even common words. It hints of a carelessness that I don't like in people dealing with live animals.
 
Looks like a simple mistake, hopefully lessons learned, and Steven, Kyshawn seems like a good friend so I would seek this persons assistance on creating a proper ad and the do's and don'ts that could make or break you. This can be a very unforgiving community if deception is found ... accident or not.
