I did some trading with Sydney, and I got a couple corn snakes in return for my trade, and they were in excellent shape. I definitely plan on doing business with Sydney again.

i disagree. i did a trade with sydney for your 3 gophers you sent her, for my BT skink. had i known the poor condition of the gophers and knew how cheap they were, i would not have traded. she sent the gophers the same day i sent the BT, but the BT got sent back to me from an address error. i wanted to wait a few days before shipping him again to not cause any extra stress on him. i had some trouble with my job not paying me and it took a few weeks before i could send the BT (this week). but i let her know and talked to her almost every day, and even told her i would throw in a few extra herps for the wait. and now i see she made a post about me, after all that...she got the better end of the deal in the first place. considering the snakes she sent me (that she got from you) were in really bad shape. BAD NOSERUB, and you can feel the ribs on all the females. skin and bones. and she told me they were in great shape and healthy. i also had a long conversation with her prior to the trade about how i had some non-eating snakes sent to me before and how it made me mad, and she was like, "oh yes, that makes me really mad too" what a hypocrit! she knew those snakes did not eat. they are so skinny, i bet they have never eaten in captivity. (they are WC) and, i only traded my BT for a trio of gophers because she told me she bred them once this year, and they were ready to breed again. HA! it would have been murder had i attemped to double clutch them!!!! and she told me SHE bred them, and i found out today that they were already gravid when she got them. the only reason you gave her a good reference is because she is the only person that has said anything good about you!!! and you know how i feel about ypu right now, kringle.

This is all getting down right stupid. It is all going to boil down to one person's word against another, and the truth will only be know by those involved. Right now it is a he said/she said situation. My final words on this whole matter are to follow. I plainly said I got them on trade. I plainly said I did not have them very long. I plainly said they were WC. I plainly said they had just laid, and if fattened up could possibly double clutch. They had just laid, so they were skinny. I do not breed snakes. They came to me gravid. I went by what I was told about them. If you were so unhappy with them, you should have sent them back. As for talking to me every day, that is a lie. This past monday you were supposed to ship. I waited until Thursday, and never received the bt. I e-mailed you, and no one ever answered. I finally caught you on and IMed you. You (Brittney) told me Joey was asleep and the bt was not in his "tank"(which was a chest freezer, hows that for neglect??), so you assumed joey shipped. When I finally talked to joey he said he didn't have an ice pack, which was why he didn't ship the week before. That is all I have to say about the whole thing. I will never do another deal on-line. I have learned my lesson.

oh yeah, micheal mastison, the only reason you posted is because she was stupid enough to think she got a good deal from you. you know you do bad business too. i know how you work.
and you have a lot of posts yet i have failed to see one good one. you make me sick, i hope you kill yourself soon, you'd be doing us all a favor.
(stupid people, man, i swear...)

Joey,

You sound like a person that really flies off the handle a lot! You come on here cussing everyone out and then blaming them for you looking bad...You are doing a good job of it yourself...no need to look elsewhere for the blame of your reputation.

As for Sydney, I wouldn't do business with you either. You stated in one of your posts that you simply got on here to see when you were getting your skinks. Then you asked if that's not what these forums are for. NO...That's now what these forums are for. That's what e-mails are for is to see when you are getting your animals. The forums are for posting good guy/bad guy senarios. What you did was try to make yourself look so innocent by saying (and I'm not quoting here) "Oh...I thought this was the place where you were to ask when I'm supposed to get my animals...I wasn't trying to give anyone a bad name."...when you knew all along you were trying to give Joey a bad name through the whole process (not that he doesn't deserve it). But you are trying to act like you were doing nothing but asking for your animals when you knew good a well that posting something like that is bashing the other person in front of the public.

I worry seriously about both of you and wouldn't do business with either of you after hearing all of this...just my $.02

Thanks,
