Roach, read the thread and offered the kid who choked the skink another skink. Would you? Nope. Offered the guy who killed 2 viper boas additional boas at cost. Would you? No. So what is it you want me to prove as its all in writing there. Went above the terms of sale. And if you want to contact the thousands of folks who made great comments about transactions then feel free but it may take a years worth of work for you. What bad things? Offering a kid who killed his skink another skink is bad? What are you talking about? No one ever registered a legitimate complaint and there's never been any verification of transaction data so what do you mean?

Yes I read those...Im not saying that some could be scams. Im sure that any business gets them now and again. I think every business has good and bad reviews at some point of time, but to only have all good threads and no bad ones makes it look bad. Im sure there are some people not at all happy with your services and Im sure there are some that are happy.

Neal: Before we close it, can you explain how many sales are you going to generate from your buddies here? And what's they can do to prevent you from waking up in 2018 and claiming you got a python with a respiratory infection in 2013 but have no proof?

[Kodieh]

Kodieh: Own up to what accusations? I tried to give the kid another skink despite he killed it. I tried to give the guy another viper boa despite he burned them. So what are you talking about? If someone killed your skink, would you offer them another for free? Nope. I did. If someone killed your beloved viper boas would you give them 2 more at cost? Nope. I tried but the fellow though it better to extort for cash and it backfired on him.

Kodieh: Well no offense but you seem new to the hobby as that BOI has been a junk site for over a decade where no one is required to provide any verifiable proof and its moderated by a gang of idiots. Much less the administrator has been informed of many methods to improve it all and he continues to this day to allow it to be ran like a freak show. I am no angel either and make my normal share of mistakes and did not vote for clinton. The BOI is filled with moderators that I proved wrong and they retaliate at any opportunity thinking it will hurt my business but all it does is keep away scams and thieves so it works great for me. Much less they cannot buy from me so they are very upset.

At least you're consistent. Unfortunately, I see proper procedure requested and provide in most BOI posts today.

Not sure where you get your opinions from, but it is yours to have.
Off topic a bit, but what does me being "new to the hobby" have anything to do with anything?

Roach, well I have not come across an unhappy customer so I am not sure what you are referencing as those BOI threads are by folks that failed to scam. Read them for yourself. Much less, why would I want an unhappy customer? Can someone here explain that? Be rest assured that if there is ever an issue, I am more than happy to make things right and add something extra for the trouble. But again, I ship hundreds of orders each month and I rarely have any issues. Some nice young fellow last week leaned that he had issue with getting funds for some garter snakes - so I sent him 5 extra snakes for free. That is how I solved his issue. A few other guys emailed about wanting to see snakes hatch from eggs, so I sent them gravid corn snakes at no extra cost. I don't know is wrong with these folks on forums that point fingers and try to hurt their fellow man. Something must of happened to them. And what are you terming as a bad review? When someone gets a skink and force feeds it a pinky and kills it and I offer another skink for free? Is that what we call a bad review? Another guy buys an emerald and his vet sticks it with a needle in the heart and harms it and then goes to some BOI to complain I sent him a bad snake. Is that a bad review on me? I did not stick the emerald with the needle.

Kodieh, meant that fresh folks don't know that the BOI is not respected by any creditable source. So no harm was meant to project that you were new to the hobby. Much less there's much background information such as moderators and buyers who I refuse to sell to taking out their frustrations at me because they have to now get their animals from vendors who will box them sick and send them to them sick. Don't know of the BOI today but seems like there's no requirement to provide all of the details of any transaction before some loud mouth steps in condeming one party before even hearing from the other. Sorta how things are done in north korea.

Entertaining to say the least, it is sometimes fun to watch someone dig a hole so deep.

[DTS HERPS]

Borgy, what deep hole? Are you implying that you believe that anything you or anyone says or writes will bother someone's sales? No offense, but are you daft? Of course it won't. Smell the coffee. It's all a giant waste of time and I am sorry to say that you appear to lack experience in sales or what goes on in this hobby. And entertaining to say the least - I mean it's funnier that your buds have no evidence and you were buried several pages ago and have not yet mustered the character/guts to admit you are wrong and apologize. But that is what I am here for, your entertainment - to bury folks blithering false accusations and using humor along the way.

[Borgy76]

"Borgy, what deep hole?"
A billboard sized picture wouldn't be enough evidence for you.

"Are you implying that you believe that anything you or anyone says or writes will bother someone's sales?"
I am implying that it will bother YOUR sales. Not because of anything Neal or Treeboa mentioned, i understand that things happen and mistakes are made by everyone. Although your response and continued responses iced the cake for me. Myself being one who enjoys many hobbies and who has spent 10's of thousands of dollars on things i enjoy, i have to say that you are one person/business i would never spend a dime with. So yes, it will bother your sales, it's sales you won't ever see nor likely even know of.

" No offense, but are you daft? Of course it won't. Smell the coffee."
I have been around long enough to know just how the coffee smells, and you reek.

"It's all a giant waste of time and I am sorry to say that you appear to lack experience in sales or what goes on in this hobby."
You are correct here, i am not a salesmen, i am a producer, i make things and then some guy down the line sells them. Sales is the step after i am done doing my work.

" And entertaining to say the least - I mean it's funnier that your buds have no evidence and you were buried several pages ago and have not yet mustered the character/guts to admit you are wrong and apologize. But that is what I am here for, your entertainment - to bury folks blithering false accusations and using humor along the way."
It is pretty funny. Just a quick search and a little reading shows that there are some issues in your business. It's your story though, so tell it how you want.

Here's a fun fact mr. scalero. My ex wife is bi-polar and paranoid to an extreme. When she's off her meds if she tells herself something, anything no matter how outrageous, if she tells herself three times that it's true, she really and truly believes that it is, indeed, the truth. She could say the sky is green, that water is dry, that she sold a piece of crap snake to someone that was a rare beauty in perfect health, and so long as she repeated it often enough, no matter how many dozens of people proved to her that she was, in fact, incorrect, she would continue to blather on about how right she was and how wrong the rest of the world was.

It's become very difficult for me to tell the two of you apart. How about that dannyboy, you'd make some fine fellow one heck of an ex-wife.

[DTS HERPS]

Borgy: Did you say a billboard of evidence? Like the pencil led tip sized evidence presented by your buds here? Thanks for the laugh however what makes you believe anything would bother anyone's sales? I have a dozen or more online so called bad threads, and regardless if they are legit or not, it does not bother sales, it encourages them. I cannot keep up with orders and have to turn sales away and refer customers to some of my suppliers. What those reports do is deter the scam artists who go elsewhere to scam someone else so it works great for me. Also, it attracts many honest people such as the dozens of zoos and educational/nature centers that I service and legit dealers who see through the garbage presented by the sammers. Here's the funny part - some of those scam artists who placed bad reports about me come back later and apologize and beg for forgiveness and ask to buy from me again. And the same with the moderators. So if I really set them out, why are they asking to buy from me again? You can pretend to believe garbage but you are only kidding yourself and others like you that may stretch to pull similiar crap on someone else.

Wilomn, I am not sure what you are writing there about your better half with bi polar but go figure. Everyone who mentions you says that you are in need of some quality mental health treatment so please seek it out and quit bothering folks.
