Hold on so your saying he sent back all the $1000+++ checks but kept yours for $650?

=====================
I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?
So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.
But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.
Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.
I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.
=====================
Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.
And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Is it so hard to understand? The other people CANCELLED their payments on the FIRST warning.
Perhaps that's why you are going "legit" now, you have to unload these animals, or can you post pictures of your set ups, and animals?

hmmmm
And again. You seem to have all the answers. Yet None of them at the same time. Keep trying to make ME look stupid, keep trying to make me look like a liar.
It wont work. I have been around for years LITTLE brother. I dont rip people off. Im straight to the point and Blunt. I have recieved infractions just because I am so blunt, and sometimes dont think before I blow up.
But unlike yourself, I apologize for my wrongs. And try to move forward in a productive manner. Covering lies with more lies gets you no place.

Just in general pictures of racks, incubator, Racks with the animals you have advertised but not sold yet. You standing in front of the racks. Just the general kinds of pictures that breeders that are proud of their animals and set ups usually show. Show pictures of the feeders etc.
BTW...it would go in the BP discussion forum.
So, did you really sell those two kinked up Pastels that you were going to sell to me as flawless animals? You really got off on the wrong foot with that one. What about the Pastel Axanthic that wasn't? When you need to lie and tell half truths and just not tell the buyer the negative facts to sell a snake, you are a lousy dealer.

We're just waiting for that tap dance routine.... its becoming legendary
Hey Michael...Who did you sell the mojobee to? Who did you sell the bumblebee to?

maddseasonmorphs You are saying that you sent off money to "jerry" and never got your snakes right? Whats the M.O. number? Let us track it for you and see if it is cashed or not since obviously (from your other post) you dont know if it is or isnt.... let me just say that if a money order is cashed you can find out, you can also find out who signed for it and where.
QUOTE]
Well? You have the M.O # you asked for. Come on get that tracking done -- lets see if you can find out more than I have already. Its been an hour sence you asked?
I got the info you wanted in 20 minutes.
Dont try and front. Done enouph of that. I want answers. And you said you can get them for me.. READ above if you forgot already.. I qouted you so it would help jog your memory

So many questions, yet no answers.... Only

?
Ed Clark's protege?
Michael, I've given up hoping for straight answers from you....but that doesn't mean I won't continue to point out the issues to those who might not yet be aware.
The main impression that "I" get from being an observer for all these Genefreak/Jerry threads is that Michael a.k.a. Jerry really believes that we should believe his lies, and that if he avoids answering direct questions, and dances enough, that maybe his lies might "stick", or we'd forget all the coincidences.
He must think that we (BOI readers and participants) aren't very smart.
Seriously Michael? All of the things that link you to "Jerry" are just coincidences?
Selling those two snakes to two different buyers and they suddently appear in "Jerry's" collection?
"Jerry" just happens to be moving to the same small town (I can only assume - as I've never heard of it before these threads) in MS as you? And his "girlfriend" already lives here?
"Jerry", who just happens to have the two snakes that you sold to two different people other than "Jerry" shares the same IP address with you and one other person out of the thousands of members here on Fauna?
What are the odds Michael? That all of these coincidences neatly line up? Because wow - you need to go buy a lottery ticket - like NOW with those kinds of odds that link you to "Jerry".
Do you REALLY think we're that stupid? Well, maybe I can see why you think that we are, since you've managed to get some people to give you the benefit of the doubt. Problem is - most of us have very long (and sharp, I might add) memories. How deep is that hole you've been digging for yourself now?

But apparently some of the BOI members aren't that smart. I am so upset, because if WE sold Pastels that looked like that, we might be drummed out of the "Breeders Association"
and our reputations tarnished! However, those "Pastels" seem to be the MAKING of Micheal's reputation!
According to Wikipedia, the population of Pass Christian was just over 6,000 in 2000. Small town, for sure.
