    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....

So Vince, any comment on what Webslave posted? I would REALLY like to hear what you have to say about the photos he posted.

i never figured out how to leave feedback, as a matter of fact i didnt even know i had feedback on reptibid as well as on fauna. geez i guess a lot of scammers have positive feedback on two differnt sites. lol wow is this thread supposed to make me look bad??
~~~

Vince you knew how to leave feedback on Fauna and knew you had feeedback here. You left me feedback on 2/04/04 and asked that if I was happy with the trade deal that I would leave you positive feedback as well, so I did as I was and still am happy with the equipment. But you are contradicting yourself...
 
I don't think vince can take a photo that doesn't have improper lighting in it.... where's this purple coming from?

i have been defending my self all day, i must of typed that to fast, i defently know how to leave feed back on fauna it is alot better here as well. Im sure i dont have as many feedbacks on reptibid as i do here but its defently cool to find out that i have a bunch of feedbacks. just checked them out all positive on there too. nice! but that was defently a typo
 
That's understandable Vince, I can live with that, i'm sure this hasn't been much fun, but to be honest I think it was all brought on by yourself.

Vince when we spoke and made our deal I thought you were a real nice guy, and I havent hid the fact in the least that I was completely satisfied with our transaction. The fact is that you have a nice looking gecko but I just don't believe it's anything new and neither do a few other gecko breeders that I respect dearly. I think you have put way too much emphasis on it and embelished a wee bit too much as well. This is the kind if thing that comes back around to bite you in the you know where. Is it really worth condeming your name and the possibility of obtaining a good reputation on one of the most popular herp sites out there?
 
i respect that you and others feel this way, but this gecko is what i claim it to be. I have to get a good camra over here.

And one professional with a Phd, and published works on image edge detection and white level manipulation.

Does that make me special?
Nope.
Does that make me qualified?
_______ < ------ fill in your own answer.

Anyone who can use a photo editing program with an image color histogram function can see in your photo originaly posted on repti-bid the red levels were elevated, and not just a little. Is it a bad camera with a malfunctioning cmos or ccd chip? Or are you just a simple liar?

Nothing is edited in that picture except to insert a black circle around the area in question. That is your picture as provided by you.

Does it prove anything? No. It does however cast suspicion (as if any was needed) that in a photo taken in the same spot as your red biased photo we now see purple light in the background.
 
Pic players...try this

I noticed something while camping with my local Boy Scout troop a couple of weeks ago. We had a storm come in over the lake and used the covered pavillion for our evening meal and used the overhead lights. They were tubular flourescent lights, but rather than the common white, they used the yellow bug lights. These did in fact alter the colors of many objects underneath them. For instance, a blue plastic measuring cup became an odd shade of green...not unlike the difference in color noticed and played with so much on the cat litter lid. Most objects that evening didn't take on any noticeable change in color...in fact, my assistant scoutmaster didn't actually believe the color change had occurred until the next morning when some of our boys showed him the cup in question and it was once again blue.

Just a suggestion and I have no idea how to accommodate for that with the pics, so I'll leave it up the others. See, this man who is older than me firmly believed that no color alteration was taking place based on his own observations and life experiences. Perhaps such beliefs are not restricted to guys over 50.

Just my thoughts without pointing fingers or making accusations.

your taunting is a little thing called harassment, but i guess since isnt against me it is within the rulse, seems to be the way things go here.

its so funny how you guys are sitting there hunting for "new things" in my photos, cant nail me on anything you guys said so far , better look at the photos and find something new. LoL
 
Deeper and Deeper

Vince,

You are digging yourself a deeper and deeper grave every time you post. You will learn and realize someday that you are not going to convince anyone that your Leopard Gecko looks like that enhanced (by what ever means it was) photo.

Also someone should contact Reptibid's moderator and have them check on the IP's on those other bidders/winners of Vince's auctions if they believe that he and they are one in the same. It is very simple as we found out with that lynnwood707 character a little while back.
