    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.

Vincent Russello, attempting a scam

spelling

why does it matter how someone spells something? as long as you know what they are talking about who cares? now you are making fun of each other for spelling mistakes? give me a break. would you make fun of people if they were blind? or maybe if they couldnt write at all? are u going to rag on me too because i dont capitalize?? does it make you feel better to put people down??

Karl,

I normally don't point out grammatical errors or Misspellings but I felt like doing it on this because of Vince's pointing it out on someone else trying to make them look worse than they already are.
 
REQUIRED by Reptibids user agreement to sell the gecko to the highest bidder!

OK, Cage is almost done so I had to come back and take a look at this thread.

This reminds me of a visa add..........

Required to sell to the highest bidder.......priceless.

I can't wait to see what this thing really looks like. BTW......I pulled the images into photoshop and looked at the EXIF data. For some reason all of the images were taken with flash except the really red one.......I wonder why? ;-)

Regards,

Terry
 
thanks a lot karl not a lot of people have the back bone to stand up to these internet bullys, rk come on your such a big guy the solver of all problems right, it was easy for you the chime in and give your two cents, and since you want to disprove me ever so badly please come take photos. if you dont it just proves that you are all internet talk and no action. as well as the other guy who said he had a buddy in cape coral, i havent heard anything from him except the rants on this thread ,i do not belive any of you are interested in actualy takeing this photo becue you know what it will lead to, it will lead you all to publicly come on here and say your sorry for jumping to conculisons and being over all bad people. i understand how you all feel , so mad, so angrey at the fact that some young guy is takeing the reptile industry by storm with this new red morph of everyone favorite gecko. i know you guys dont like me on a personal level and it just eats you up inside that i am honest and a profesional in every way. I dont hold anything back and that produces fair honest and great deals on fauna, reptibid, kingsnake, and almost every reptile buying and selling outlet on the net.keep reposting my photos that you all alterd to fit your needs, i feel your pain i understand how you all must feel but choke it up fellas im not going anywhere but to the top.
 
Observation

Has anyone else noticed the tone of the posts against Vince? In most other threads where someone is suspected of doing something wrong people get pretty emotional and upset.

Not on this thread. It's a big joke. Vince is a joke. Don't see, Vince, no ones getting upset or calling you names, they're making fun of you and playing with you. LMAO :D
 
Oh Vince I feel for you man. You tried to pull a scam and it was brought to light. So we're bullys because we called you on your auction. I guess the police are bullys too when they expose FRAUD.

Here is all the information we need right now:

Ends: Fri Apr 16, 05:24 PM

That is the end of the auction, and probably your reputation.

We are not worthy, :bow01: Vince
 
Vince,
It seems that their were quite a few people in your area that would be willing to meet you and take the photos. If your worried about security just drive or walk somewhere near your home and meet them. It would solve alot of the speculation and views that people are having. It would also end the thread that is not adding to your credibilty til these photos are posted.

Vince,

Is it getting a little hot in the kitchen?

Now why would you go and say that you weren't going to sell the gecko, that you were going to prove it out, when in fact you have to stand by your auction? Why did you contact your high bidder at that time, Geckogal04, and tell her the gecko was no longer for sale??
also since i told her the red leo is off the market she told me she has been bidding on a nice pair of leos.[/QUOTE

Why is it that someone called you to arrange for a picture to be taken, but you didn't respond?
Vince contacted me by PM and said we could do this. I will arrange to meet with him in the next couple of days.(I don't know his schedule?) Maybe Friday??????
What happened to Ray taking the pic?
 
im glad you all are enjoying your selves as much as me, i couldnt be more happy the way this thread has been going, this thread does not discredit me in the least, i have actuly just sold another pair of albino leos , i do more and more deals every day, just for the record no one is takeing any stock in this thread, only this little group of the same people who keep posting here, im in love with doing great deals, and i am haveing a great time with this thread, its like pulling the strings on a puppet , all i do is post how i feel and there is a flood of reponses once again most of you attackers are at the end of your rope, and are getting desprate. i am sorry for you guys, but im here to stay, and there is nothing i enjoy more then conversating with you guys on this thread. this is great!!!!! keep the posts comeing, as far as people comeing to my house to take the pics, i am opean to it, where is RK? he was all huffy puffy untill i offerd to have him come to my home to take the pics. ray is a great guy and i am also opean to have him come and take the photos as well, but these are not people to do your or my bidding, i dont expect someone to drive 6 hours just to prove you all wrong. the only joke here is that this thread will indeed reach 100 pages, witch is testiment to the dark side of the boi, and if you love fuana as much as me you why do you opeanly try to bring down the integrity and great credability of the BOI and faunaclassifieds.com. normal people feel discusted with garbage threads like this, and if me and my leos wherent the main topic of this thread then i would feel discusted aswell, but since it is about me i will remain here, i tryd to stop posting put people keeped trying to pull me back in so i have no choice but to hang back laugh and post replys to the small fraction of people who enjoy bashing others. you guys get no credit for that.
 
Vince, I'm offended.

I've not bashed you at all. I haven't called you any names, or even strayed off topic.

I've stated FACTS about bid history and feedback.

I've asked QUESTIONS directly relating to your statements and/or auctions.

Why will you not answer?
 
Kind of reminds me of the child in the high-chair... throws his toy or spoon and mommy picks it up. Does it again, Mommy picks it up again.

Vince is like that spoiled child.... he keeps posting about how horrible the BOI is because it has targeted him. He ignores questions because he doesn't know what a question and more importantly what a business-like answer is. HE ignores everything that he doesn't want to answer. He has ignored many many questions.

I do so look forward to hearing the results of the Auction, because Vince might whine all he wants, but he will show himself to be a person of his word, or NOT, if he doesn't sell the gecko to the highest bidder, AND even if he does, if it isn't the right color, then he will show himself for the person he is.

The saddest part of this entire thing... I'm guessing that all along Vince just wants this very pertinent thread to Go to Hell so that he can feel special and loved and wanted instead of the person whom he has shown himself already:

1. Immature (refer to the Flibbity Jibbity posts on this thread)
2. Illiterate (refer to the number of questions he couldn't read well enough to answer properly, thus answering questions not asked, and not answering questions that were asked)
3. Discourteous (refer to the number of times he has asked us to "ask your questions" and then not answered them)
4. Dishonest (refer to the thread where he says that the animal in the FIRST red photo is not the best representation and then refer to the dozens of posts where he DOES say it is)
5. Disrespectful of Webslave (refer to the numerous posts where he says how much this thread and others on the BOI are examples of what a joke the BOI is.... when in fact it is made that way by his own posts)
6. Color-Blind because he can't see the difference in blue and green and yellow and red.
7. un-businesslike (refer to the rules he never bothered to read, the feedback he says he never noted, the questions he never answers, the names he calls people, the attitude)
8. Someone not to do business with (refer to this thread)

The only joke revealed by this thread is the Joke of doing business with Vincent Russello.

you have not stated any facts what so ever, you stated opinoin and stated acusations of false feedbacks, questions will not be answered 100 times over and over again, if you wish to adress me in the form of a truely interested person such as what seamus did then feel free, back and for Q&A is not going to happen on here, just im me in the fashion that was already used.
 
Vince,

As I said before if you were only 2 hours or so away from me I would drive over, take pictures, take a video and them show the proof but I am not going to drive 5+ hours each way to take pics of what we already know is not RED like in your pictures. I have yet to be huffy or puffy as you stated. You already said you trusted Mike from MotherGecko, why not ship the animal to him as already suggested and let the animal be photographed when it arrives and after a shed? If it really is like you say it is the animal will be in the hands of one of the best breeders when it comes to Leopards, you will get it back probably healthier when you sent it and $500 to boot. But then again this will all be solved real soon. When the auction is over and won by someone on this Board you will have to ship the animal to them otherwise you will be once again shown as the fraud you are. You agreed to the terms of the auction when you placed it no matter if you changed your mind later. Also don't try having your friend/other personality post a higher bid as the moderator can check the IP real easy and then that will just add more proof to the overwhelming evidence that shows the real you.

this statement couldnt be more untrue , your post can be filed under desprate attempt, sorry. you can twist my words all you would like, its a feeble atemt. the boi is not a joke, you few who dwell on this thread are the joke. the subject matter of this thread is no joke, but the way you few adress it is very degrading to the boi. your weak attempts at bringing me down roll right off my back, and are not being heard to anyone but the few who think they know what they are talking about. so keep spewing the flames , ill just sit back with a bucket of sand

lol you seem so sure of your self to disprove me, i feel like you really have a personal vendeta. im glad to see your so excited about my leo and i dont blame you for that, its not everyday you have the chance to get your hands on a one of a kind red leo. but hey send me that 500 money order i wont even cash it, i will send you the leo at your expence, then when it is retured i will send back that same money order. simple as that, if you do not agree, then hey, thats the best i can offer someone who undoubtly has unheathly personal feeling toward me, i need to protect myself. the gecko will not be sent out to anyone, it is nfs , i had no idea how much fuss would take place and im very excited to breed this leo now, you all have blown new life into my lungs, and i am more motavted then ever, thank you guys for this, with out you i would of probly just sold off all my reptiles. THANK YOU!!
 
you have not stated any facts what so ever
Really?

FACT: Geckogal04 had bid on no ones auctions but yours

FACT: You stated you told Geckogal04 that the animal was off the market.

FACT: You stated here that the animal was no longer for sale

FACT: You were asked via the Q&A section of your auction about the animal no longer being for sale, and replied to that inquiry that you couldn't just take it off.

FACT: You stated you never left feedback on Reptibid. When I cut and pasted the feedback, you stated you didn't know how to do it.

Why do you dispute those as facts? Which ones are my opinions?

I don't wish to IM with you, Vince. I would like all the answers on this thread, since this thread is what has initiated the entire discussion.

Question:

Are you selling the gecko to the highest bidder or not?

Did you inform the subsequent bidders on the auction that the animal was no longer for sale?

Have any of the people who asked for better pictures of the gecko actually placed any bids?

Since you stated in the ad that the gecko had already fertilized eggs, will you not have "proven it out" in a couple of weeks anyway?
 
FACT: Geckogal04 had bid on no ones auctions but yours

FALSE !!

FACT: You stated you told Geckogal04 that the animal was off the market.

Yep , but erelivent as she is no longer the highest bidder

FACT: You stated here that the animal was no longer for sale

That is true, not forsale at all, thanks to this thread for helping me relise that this leo will make me a lot of cash.

FACT: You were asked via the Q&A section of your auction about the animal no longer being for sale, and replied to that inquiry that you couldn't just take it off.

yeah you cant delet an auction after a bid is placed, whats your point?

FACT: You stated you never left feedback on Re
ptibid. When I cut and pasted the feedback, you stated you didn't know how to do it.

when i left feedback a link was provided by reptibid, agian what is the point of this fact?

Why do you dispute those as facts? Which ones are my opinions?

I don't wish to IM with you, Vince. I would like all the answers on this thread, since this thread is what has initiated the entire discussion.

Question:

Are you selling the gecko to the highest bidder or not? i may have to, i make way to many sales on reptibid to get the boot.


Did you inform the subsequent bidders on the auction that the animal was no longer for sale?
it may still be forsale

Have any of the people who asked for better pictures of the gecko actually placed any bids?
yes

Since you stated in the ad that the gecko had already fertilized eggs, will you not have "proven it out" in a couple of weeks anyway?
maybe, i was told i should breed the daughters back to the father(redleo) to prove out if a trait such as this true red morph is genetic.
