    =====================

    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.

I will take pics of me shipping him off tomorrow and post them later tomorrow night on here.

I read the thread title and went "Uh oh..." lol. I think it was a great idea documenting all of this on the BOI. Best of luck to both of you.
 
Sounds good, I will take a video of me packing him up and everything..... I will also sign over the tape and box so you know that it was not tampered with after the video stoped.

Have that all written down on a note card. I will ship it in the box with him.
 
I am working out a deal with Michael as well for one of his black pastel males. I will let everyone know how everything goes thanks Mitchel
 
A) There is already a thread about Michael.
B) This is not the place for back and forth dialogue - do your communication about your deal elsewhere.
 
Well where should we post this up at? In my thread? I, along with many other people, think this is a good idea to publicise these transactions. So if you could please direct us to the proper place to do this I would appreciate it.

Hey, maybe if you weren't scamming people, or didn't have several different identities here, you wouldn't have to do this in the first place. Maybe I'm just a bit new to all this, but you have been shown to be using the same IP address as Jerry Boyd, and have been shown to be using the same pics of the same animals as he. Now, you want to post up here and have everyone watch a "legit" deal???? You must have hit your head.

I believe what Harald means is that the personal questions (hatch date, weight, etc) should be taken to PM. The transaction results are fine on the BOI.

Really? Show me one person that I have scammed, show me one person that I have taken there money from, not shipped the snake, or anything else to scam them.... Wait there is nobody, because we all know darn well that as soon as someone gets scammed it is up on the boi section. Heck do I even have a bad guy post about me??? Hmmm.... Sign up for a P2P (peer to peer) proxy and I will bet you that I can have the exact same IP address as you my friend or anyone esle on this board for that matter. Show me the cold hard facts that I have scammed someone or get them to come on this boi section and say Michael Harshbarger scammed me, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT because I know darn well there is noone. Now I dont ask you to buy from me hell I dont even ask you to like me, I ask you and anyone anyone else that wants to call me a scammer to sit there, shut up, and watch me make transactions live on this board. I have had many other transactions its just that 80% of my buyers do not comment on a "good guy" post, which I'm sure many of other people who sell encounter also... In this industry most people wont comment on a great deal but are quick to blow up on a bad one. Now I have not been complaining or anything about all this BS I decided actions speak louder than words and I think I have come up with a great idea to show that, but thats not what guys like you like right? You like the guy to comment back so you can get into a pissing match right? But hey thanks for commenting on the question that was clearly not directed to you.
Best regards
-Michael

Any comment, Freak....I mean Jerry, oooops....or was that Michael?

As for commenting on a question that was not directed at me, you're welcome. You wanted to post this transaction publicly. Please allow me to introduce myself....I'm the "public".

You are 100% correct this thread was started to publicise my TRANSACTIONS, do I have any transactions with you? You know why those pics of those snakes were taken? Because they were for sale and have all sold, so you can say they are the same snake but those snakes have been out of my possession for months now. You know after reading through the boi did "Jerry boyd" even scam someone? Did he take someones money and run, now I might have misread that thread but it looked like to me he said he was fed up with people emailing him crap and told everyone his snakes were no longer for sale and told everyone who sent money to kindly cancell all transactions.... Did he run off with someones money????? Now Im not here to defend him, Im here showing people that I have been and will continue to sell snakes and ship them off without a hitch.
