Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

If Mr Matuszak and Mr Sharp have enough guts then have them post here so I'll have a few more people not to do business with.

Buyer Beware of Steve Ori Forgotten Realm

Iv'e talked to Doug Matuszak quote " F--k these kids, I don't know anybody that pays attention to the BOI anymore.

He doesn't know of anybody that pays attention to the BOI? .....
Try this one!
Number of Active Users Today: 351 so far with 3,315 members! I guess that kinda makes Mr.Matuszak's statement stupid and uneducated. It also shows the attitude of these people you have talked to and your own attitude...., of course they got YOUR side of the story didn't they? which I am sure was unbiased, truthfull and accurate!
Quote:
I talked to Brian Sharp Quote " don't get into a pissing match with these people who have come out of the woodwork and don't buy sell or have any animals.
|
I don't know of anyone that has posted on this thread that doesn't have animals........ One can just wonder at what you told these people to get these responses?
Well done on damaging your own business over $100 The damage you did to it yourself would be well in excess of the $100 deposit.
I sure as hell won't buy anything from you and I am sure, with your attitude and inability to practice what you preach (satisfaction guaranteed or your money back) many others won't either. Again, well done!

I agree totally with this quote

I would be likely to believe these statements Steve has relayed if they actually came from the authors themselves, not from Steve.

Basically both have told me to give back the deposit as soon as M3 sells. That is what I'm gonna do.
|
Steve,
That's the right thing to do, although it would have been nice if you had come to the same decision on your own, and not based on Brian and Douglas opinion. By the way, I have dealt with both of them personally and have nothing but good things to say about them. And yes, I do breed reptiles, and yes I'm from the early fifties. No ill-will here.
Regards.

Well Steve, it sounds like you've taken a step in the right direction by stating you'll refund the deposit when the M3 sells. The only problem with that is who knows when it's going to sell?
If you know you're going to end up refunding the money why not just bite the bullet and do it sooner?
As for your buddy list I've dealt with Brian Sharp. I bought a very nice albino retic from him. I've also sold a green anaconda to Rich Ihle. Both were a pleasure to work with. Now there's another guy on your list that needs to take his head out of his.........hat.
Because he treated me like one of your so called teenagers there's a 16 page thread on him here. Ask him how great business has been for him lately. So you've been dealing since 1964 huh? Sounds to me like you were a teenager then so that doesn't count. I have nothing against you but don't pull your high and mighty crap here. I'm no punk!

You know steve, I had a little respect for you there for a little while. I miss a couple days of posts and see that you have not only shot your foot but gangrene has set in and rotted you all the way to your brain. How foolish of you to go to these ends for a measly hundred bucks.
Not only am I not a teenager, I do breed and sell and have for many years, and I don't live with my mom, just for the record.
While I don't consider you a bad guy steve, I consider you a fool. And not the kind known to be wise and light hearted, the kind how is just shy of idiocy. All for that measly hundred bucks. I'm another who won't by from you, reguardless of your animals or priced just on principle.
Now, I generally go one the 1 to 2 percent theory. What that means is that out of every 100 people who see my animals for sale I'll get one or two customers. To extrapolate a bit it would be 20 or 30 for every thousand. How many hits have there been on this thread alone? How many of us will remember you later? How many people will do an inquiry about you at some future date and find this thread? My guess is you have cost yourself quite a bit of money.
Well done, maybe you should look for a nice government job, you seem well suited for that type of work.
