    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.

    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....

A couple of weeks ago this guy had the exact same snakes up for sale on Craigslist for San Diego for way cheaper than he has them for on here. I was set to get the clown female for 900 originally. After the deal was made and a time and place were set up he texts me at nearly 10:00 pm to inform me that someone has offered him 1000 and if I will do 950.00 then he promises that she is mine no matter what they offer. I agree to it since it is still an amazing deal. I had to work a 24 hr shift the next day so the pick up was set for the following day. He knew that I was a Marine and everything was all set up. Then the night before I was supposed to pick her up, while I was at work he sends me another text yet again at 10:00 pm saying he's sorry but his good friend just offered him 2000 for her and he's gonna take it. He also said that he is aware that he is going back on his word but that he was gonna do it anyways. This guy screwed me out of a snake that would have jumped my breeding projects years into the future over what he claimed was because his good friend wanted her and offered more money. Every single snake he has in his ad was way cheaper on his craigslist ad, I can only imagine that if he still has all of these snakes, he must have done the same to others.
 
It's sad that you have to. I have no problem taking the word of a United States Marine! Sorry for your luck.
 
So since I saved the texts, and his number is included in the ad I will post them here so you can read for your self. I will however take out any curse words, they are replaced with "*"

Hi, saw your ad, how much does the clown and bumblebee weigh?

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 07:53:32 pm
Very interested in the clown and have cash in hand

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 07:56:10 pm
The clown is 708 grams very healthy and tame. The bumblebee is 850 grams and tame. The bumblebee had her first clutch 3-4 months ago so she is slowly getting her weight back but steadily.

What is she eating and how often

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 08:01:24 pm
I feed both about medium/ small rats every week when they'll take it but recently twice a month since its been cooler. The clown is my best eater. The bumblebee less often since her clutch and the cooler weather.

Ok. I work 24 hrs tomorrow I'm a Marine on guard. I will be there Thursday with cash in hand for the clown

Ya Thursday evening would be fine after 530 if that's ok. Where would you want to meet? 900 right?

To : 6198890153

Yes 900 and I can come to you whenever on Thursday

Date : 02/26/2013 08:23:07 pm
If you want the bumblebee too I could do it for 1350 but if not I dont mind cause I really like her. The clown is a steal cause I got her for 1250 and she's super badass and will make some killer morphs. Do you live on base? We could meet in between.

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 08:25:13 pm
Yes I live on base. I know the clown is a steal I'm very excited. What is the pastel butter and how big?

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 08:35:22 pm
The pastel/butter is a male. He is my newest addition. He has a great clean pattern and I planned and breeding the clown or bumblebee with him to make my favorite looking morphs. He's eating small rats or large mice. He is 500 and I pretty firm cause I paid 650. Butter pastel clowns are wicked and cost a lot so you could make bank if you bred the too. I'd be jealous of you. No worries if you only want the clown.

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 08:35:38 pm
BTW he's 300 grams

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 08:36:48 pm
I hear you I have a pastel lesser male that I will breed to the clown when she is big enough. Where would you like to meet?

Ok let meet right near Sea world. GPS sea world but before to take the right to go to the entrance of sea world you'll see a kayak store across the street right next to the intersection. Look left and you'll see the kayaks and boats docked near by.

Sorry if its a crappy phone pic. She has nice blushing patterns and has a very nice orange shade on her head. Nicest snake I've ever owned. She'll make a great addition to any collection and ill be sad too lose cause she's a gem.

She is beautiful and Im beside myself right now. Thank you.

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 09:09:14 pm
Every time she sheds I'm stunned with how clean and bright her colors come out. You won't be disappointed especially if you breed her with your lesser/pastel. You'll make easily 1200 a pop I would imagine..... that is if you don't end up keeping her offspring to breed cause they're so wicked.

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 09:10:34 pm
Yeah I can't wait to breed her

To YOU from : 6198890153

Date : 02/26/2013 09:44:21 pm
Hey not to be a major douche bag but another person I was talking to at the same time as you just offered 1000 for her. I could use the extra money but don't wanna sell to him because I know we agreed on the 900 and I know you we're stoked to get her. If you can counteract with 950 I will settle for that and take a small loss cause I already agreed to sell it to you. Sorry to seem like a **** but I guess the 900 was enticing to a handful of people. Let me know.

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 10:00:10 pm
No problem I will go 950

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/26/2013 10:02:57 pm
Ok cool appreciate it and feel thoroughly bad raising it on you after all that. She's yours no matter if they offer me 1200 or whatever. Thanks talk to you Thursday then.

Date : 02/27/2013 01:41:42 pm
Two weeks ago. I tried to feed her yesterday but she was uninterested. I'm gonna try today. Now that its warming up she'll probably take it more willing.

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 01:42:27 pm
Cool. And she takes small/med live rats?

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 01:47:25 pm
She eats prekilled but I prefer live when she is stubborn or I don't want to spend awhile dangling it. Small med is right.

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 01:48:10 pm
She an easy eater for more.

To : 6198890153

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 02:33:09 pm
Surprisingly well. I guess I listed them low enough for people to want to jump on them. Maybe cause tax season or something.

To : 6198890153

Hey I hate to be the bearer of bad news again but I had a close buddy who breeds who begged me for the clown and dropped 2 grand on her. I know I promised you her and said I wouldn't sell her to anyone but because he's my close pal and he dropped significantly more i had to give it to him. If it ever changes you'll be the first to know. Thanks for your time and I'm deeply sorry for getting you all excited. Ill understand if you want to put a knife in my stomach cause I feel like I just did to you. Take care.

I know, I know man. I gave you my work and lost all the integrity that I had. If it wasn't my close friend and the significant price difference she would be all yours. If I get my throat cut as I'm walking to my car ill know why and here the silent words of ' Karmas a *****'. I'm very sorry dude and really wish I could say something to reconcile myself but truly I know I made a **** move. Take care and sorry.

Date : 02/27/2013 09:30:06 pm
I honestly cannot believe this. Even after meeting you halfway after you said she was mine. Sorry I have to protect a base that protects your freedom and couldn't be there until tomorrow. You even talked to me several other times today. How is this even remotely fair?

To : 6198890153

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 09:41:28 pm
Yes I agree with you. I couldn't of ****** over a more admirable person than you. There is nothing fair with this. I did inform him that she was already taken but he enlightened me with what she could go for as a female and her current weight. He offered me the 2000 and said I'd be a fool for selling her less. Because he is my close buddy and I am looking to buy a house for my family any extra helps so it all comes down to my family inching closer to have a home to live in. Either way I feel like a fool but it my children who matter most and it a few bucks closer to bettering there life in anyway. Put yourself in my shoes. I am at a loss of words and thank you for everything you do for our country. I don't expect you to understand and hope you the best. Sorry.

I see it from your shoes. Now look at it from mine. I have deployed 5 times to Iraq and Afghanistan. I have been wounded twice and have a brain injury and nerve damage. I will more than likely be shown the door after 10 years of service since the military is downsizing. Breeding snakes is how I planned to make my familys life better until I find my next career. That clown would have jumped me ahead years.

To : 6198890153

We even spoke about how she was a steal so I know you knew about what she was worth

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 10:17:00 pm
I feel for you more than you know. To tell you the truth I thought she was worth 1200 so I thought no big deal selling it to a good guy like you for 950. Then my friend enlightened me and said she was worth 2000 and 2500-3000 at 1550 grams. I haven't been doing this for very long so truthfully you would of benefited on my ignorance. I would tell you sorry till I were blue in the face but it would do no good. Call it selfish or stupidity but I really have regretted messing with your feelings and potential future. I will lose sleep over it cause that's the person I am but I just have to go on with living and learn to know what I am selling next time. Take care and sorry for wasting your time.

To : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 10:19:44 pm
I still would like to know your names. I'm not crazy and wouldn't hurt you. I just want to know so I never do business with either of you.

To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 02/27/2013 10:28:31 pm
That's unnecessary because I don't sell ball pythons as a business or any other animals. I'm selling the six I have so I think the odds are slim to none of us doing business again. I do not have a death wish nor do I want to paint a target on my buddies back. Don't worry he's not a **** like me. He knows what he's doing so I'm not worried with him acting like a ignorant fool like me with his customers. Finally, once again sorry to ruin your day,week, or month. Take care and that's all I have to say.

Bravo! I see that you have found a way to portray yourself as a predator of the ignorant. FYI the clown is sold. Wether you believe it or not, which doesn't affect me either way I put her on the thread to interest other people to inquire about her so I could increase my odds of people interested in buying the others. If you think by posting silly blogs about my nonexistent reputation is some how going to soil my image and get under my skin you're solely mistaken. I'm getting out of the hobby so you can paint the sky red for all I care. If anything it just makes you look like a sniveling moron who takes advantage of small time hobbyists like me who don't know better. Remember you're the one that's trying to become a full time breeder when the military shows you the door in ten years so think smart because your reputation is what really matters. If relief is what you're looking for then Ill send you my address and then I can play you the worlds smallest
violin and then you can strut how big your ego is and I can entertain it. Cash never exchanged hands and a deal was never made past texting so you can whine all you want. So go waste your time some more and post this text I just send you mister American hero. Good luck to you and sorry for YOUR loss. No more conversations will be exchanged between us because I can only be amused so much with your feeble attempts to ruin what credit I never had within the ball python community.
To : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 01:25:28 pm
Feeble attempt? Everyone uses the BOI and its a very small community so yes reputation is everything. I see nothing feeble about warning people about doing business with someone like you who just admitted to to putting a snake on there for sale that you didn't even have.
To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 01:40:23 pm
Indeed. The other snakes are easy sells. Big whoop buddy. Warn all you want. They are gonna sell regardless. Maybe you can get on Oprah and spatter my reputation some more. Ill be sure to record it. Post away my friend. You're blowing steam to release some frustration and I get it. Spin your wheels all you want. You're not gonna find what you're looking for though. Take care man and I really wish you the best. Ill go '**** myself' so I can save you the time for what you might say next. Good luck to you on your vindictive journey.
To : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 01:49:13 pm
Hahahahahaha that's not it at all. I'm over what you did to me, but I won't stand by a let you do it to someone else without giving them a warning. Yet again you have shown your true colors. I'm not blowing steam or spinning wheels or being vindictive, almost every person that saw your ad also saw your BOI. If that prevents even one person from being burned I've done my job.
To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 02:08:13 pm
Fantastic I'm glad I was of assistance in shrugging off the situation and finding some sort of relief in warning others. You're a true hero of many faces. It was ok to burn me because I was ignorant and it would be to your own personal gain. Before you go and make assumptions about my true colors why don't you step back and look at yourself in the mirror. Then take a swing at your face and then you'll learn that when things appear too good to be true than they usually are. I just wouldn't allow myself to be the fool. Who's the real chump. And that's not question that needs an answer.
To : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 02:14:46 pm
How did I take advantage of you? I said a few times that the clown was a steal. And again this has nothing to do with finding relief. As far as my true colors, I made good and was upfront with everything, you were the one who not only broke their word twice but also admitted to posting a snake you dont even have. Im the end you will just blow more hot air and try to shift the situation, yes I will post this second half because if it were me on the other side of a deal with you again this is the sort od thing I would want to know.
To YOU from : 6198890153
Date : 03/14/2013 02:18:25 pm
Sure, you do that. Have a nice day buddy.
 
It's a shame I exposed myself to an unfortunate situation like this. I don't enjoy messing with good people's feeling but I marked her too low due to ignorance. There was no transaction that took place, therefore no one was burned. I've adjusted my prices to reasonable market price after doing some research. The clown is sold. I am a small time collector stepping out of the hobby. All other pythons are for sale local only and I expect any "REAL" tangible transactions to go smoothly once cash is in hand. There is no doubt that things were strange but we all know who has been doing this for awhile that deals fall through and you just go on, not make a BOI to feel better. Thanks for reading this lovely BOI and good luck to you all.

It's hard to spin the story when all the truth is laid out there Patrick.
 
No spinning necessary my friend. This one is in the eye of the beholder and left up to self interpretation so no need to make something known if the action doesn't exist. I do like how you made the effort to remove your phone number from the posts for some unknown reason. Just an observation, no comment needed and pitlover "Wow" would be an understatement. Take care.
 
No spinning necessary my friend. This perception is in the eye of the beholder and left up to self interpretation. So there is no need to make known something invalid if the action that does not exist. I do like how you oddly made the effort to remove your phone number from all posted texts. No comment necessary, just an observation and pitlover "Wow" is an understatement. Take care.
 
Scratch the second duplicate. Appeared it didn't go through but obviously did. Anyways William ok and thank you for censoring my profanity.
 
This sounds like highschool. You both want to have the last word an keep posting nonsense. Simple truth is no money exchanged hands. When you made the deal and agreed on a price you should have paypaled the money. If he then backed out of selling you might have a boi worthy story. You lost nothing more than a little time. I can't tell you how many times people tell me they are buying one of my animals and the money never shows. I don't run to the boi crying foul. I just repost and move on. Everyone is to sensitive and gets their feelings hurt way to easy. Then feel the need to tell everyone so it validates their thoughts. My suggestion is save some more money and start shopping again and buy from another breeder.

Joe,
I see where you are coming from and appreciate your point of view. I apologize for not making myself as clear as I had thought I had. This post wasn't over hurt feelings or the last word, it was simply a "hey I had a bad experience with this guy look out" post. I know anytime you call someone a bad guy you had better have something to back it up with, that's why I included all the texts exactly as they were, minus the curse words. I was just trying to help out. If this is in fact a waste of the BOI then I sincerely ask the admin to remove it in it's entirety.

Well, what's done is done. Threads aren't removed for any reason other than certain rule violations, so this one's here to stay. I can agree that it would definitely feel like a fairly scummy thing for someone to pull, but it's not really worthy of a Bad Guy thread. As has been pointed out, no money changed hands, so it wasn't a done deal. Other than some time, you don't seem to have incurred any losses. If there was a new BOI thread posted every time someone backed out of a verbal agreement, we'd see little else on this forum. It's crummy, but it's a part of this type of online sales.

No, we will not remove threads like this. I will however give you my personal opinion.

The worthiness of a thread will determined by each individual reader. Some will say no transaction, no merit. Others, like to have this type of information on-hand.

I can only tell you how I would have responded. I wouldn't have appreciated being jerked around. If I knew the guy was auctioning to the highest bidder instead of advertising a animal for the price listed, I wouldn't of wasted my time. I think he described himself well in his text.

I would made a note not to do business with someone who didn't honor his agreements.

Personally, I wouldn't have started a thread. There are many window shoppers, those who state they are sending funds and never show. Deals that are happening and all contact ends. There are just too many flakes. I just write them off.

However , if someone did the same to me and someone started a inquiry thread about the individual, I surly wouldn't hesitate to type my experience.

Might save them a headache.

So who knows? You might just save someone a headache here.

Also, it is quite possible (not saying this individual) starting a thread can bring a habitual problem seller or buyer to light with multiple people coming forward with their experiences.

So for better or worse the thread is here. The readers can make what they want out of it.
 
Ok. I work 24 hrs tomorrow I'm a Marine on guard.

Sorry I have to protect a base that protects your freedom and couldn't be there until tomorrow.

I have deployed 5 times to Iraq and Afghanistan. I have been wounded twice and have a brain injury and nerve damage. I will more than likely be shown the door after 10 years of service since the military is downsizing. Breeding snakes is how I planned to make my familys life better until I find my next career.

To begin with I agree that it was crappy of him to back out of the deal, but it has nothing to do with you being in the military. I respect those that serve in the military as long as they don't act like they deserve special treatment because of it. You joined the Marines by choice, and choices come with consequences and/or rewards. A lot of people plan on making a lot of money breeding snakes but it very seldom works out that way. Good luck.
