    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Vincent Russello, attempting a scam

ray we defently can work something out seeing that i am planing on makeing a few purchases from you any way, if everyone still feels it is nessary to get new pics even tho this gecko is not even up for sale any more then i guess it wouldnt be a problem for you to witness it and snap a few pics.
 
VINCE..they don't get much better than raymond..take him up on the offer and end this circus ??

not an honarable way of doing it? how would you suggest i take down an auction. i dont think anyone would have bid on it then somone had the idea to bid and win the gecko knowing i did not wish to sell it any more.

i do not wish to sell this leo any more, so i did use a friends account to place a proxy bid so that i would not have to go threw the unplesentness of explaining the situation to a possable serious bidder. how ever if i ever decide to sell it will indeed include a satisfaction gaurantee.

Damn Vince you keep digging yourself even deeper. You just said the animal is not for sale any more but then you contradict yourself and say on your ad that it will be back up for auction. hmmm I wonder how long before we see a normal looking leopard gecko that resembles the one in your "RED" auction.
 
almost there...just a little more

i have used a friends membership to raise a high proxy bid

Now come clean with the rest of it. Just tell everyone that you tried to sell the gecko with the original pic until you were called out on it. you are half way there now.....out with the rest.

your not suposed to take it down.it shoulden't really matter what there motive is if it's honestly represented.hell if they want to take it home for a sex toy and pay you $5000.00 bux for it who cares.(well maby not a sex toy but you get the idea).you posted it for sale you shouls have sold it.

Vince -

You're not done yet??? Sheeeeshh!! I clicked on the link, and while I was reading the ad, I remembered a post Vince wrote awhile back, and I quote:

the only thing that has me shaken up about them is there poor spelling/grammer, i meen on a chat board is one thing , but on an AD?
Click to expand...

this was in reference to his "reservations" on dealing with another seller. So I found it pretty funny this guy's ad had numerous spelling/grammar errors. Below are just a few:

quit a few spots
possablitys
femaless
plase disregard
othersellers
opean
convincen
inconvence
apologise
legitimitly
Click to expand...

and believe it or not that wasn't all of them!! I rarely if ever bring up spelling/grammar because I'm guilty at times, but thought I'd make an exception in this case - since Vince has cost me (well I cost myself) all of my warning points :)
and I feel alot more coming :(
 
you are pretty much obsessed with me arent you troy, i meen even you quote at the bottom of your post is a refrance to me that is priceless
 
Giving tired Troy a hand.....

To offer Troy a helping hand since I know he's exhausted from trying to tackle all of these posts of Vince's, I'll jump in for him. We wouldn't want Vince, the one who would be so hesitant to make a purchase from a seller who can't use proper spelling and/or grammar in their ad to suffer the same ill fate himself.

Should be (corrections bolded):

You are pretty much obsessed with me, aren't you, Troy? I mean, even your quote at the bottom of your post is a reference to me. That is priceless.

We wouldn't want you implementing improper grammar, spelling or syntax when it eventually comes time for you to file your own, well thought-out legal briefs for your own defense. Of course, those would probably be fraudulent as well.

Update: The auction has been removed for violations, pending an investigation by reptibid's fraud department.
 
that was my intention, why else would i write on the ad that i myself raised the proxy bid via a friends account. now i dont have to worrie about someone trying to play around with the auction.

But now doesn't he run the risk of not being able to auction on that site again? Is that the lesser of two evils?
 
i can live with that. i recently made some extra money that i was going to donate to this site, but now may be forced to pay for a membership on kingsnake.com with that.
 
This tread has gone on longer than...

freddy kruger & jason from friday the 13th... "Damn, why won't you just die!" Could we get some of that great music like they play on soap operas? Web Slave...how about it? Is anyone really sitting around wondering if this freaking gecko is REALLY red? :dunce:

Play around with the auction? Don't you mean win the fraudulent auction, resulting in the ability to take legal action against you?
 
I agree. It should be closed or moved to the General Business section. It can nowhere from here don't you think webslave?
 
This thread pertains to the unethical, juvinile, and fraudulent behavior of one individual, Vince Russello. It belongs here.
