Repti Mart -Repti-Bid= Howard Fluker

Reptimart.com and Reptibid.com are owned by Howard Fluker. Howard made an appearance at the Tampa Show and then later sent an employee to hand out fliers for his new sites, which are registered in another name.

Anyone got any more info?

Reptile Republic is Fluker as well as ReptiBid and ReptiMart.

However, it is listed under another name out of Miami. I just wanted the community to know who was behind it.

Who's Howard Fluker???????

Who's Howard Fluker and why is this "need to know info". A little background info would be nice. Otherwise I just don't get it.

Linda, Howard Fluker owns Fluker Farms and was responsible for sending many sick animals into the states, including animals with Cryptosporidium. This has been hashed out here before, and hopefully someone will be patient enough to dig up a link for you.

Here's a thread that may help a little (I think) with a little MK stuff tossed in there for good measure.

I just wanted to add my little bid on here about reptibid.

1st off though...

reptibid = reptimart = reptichat = reptibid.ca (the new one that's not out yet that he shared with me)

Next...let me tell my story...

As most of you know, I had a problem with a individual (Ryan Neubauer) that bid and backed out 3 weeks afterwards on an auction of mine posted on reptibid. (((http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ight=reptibid, http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ight=reptibid, http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ight=reptibid, http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...light=reptibid))) These threads are posted in order as they appeared on the BOI involving the matter. It all gives the information, and to save web space, I'm not repeating myself. Anyway, there's STILL a feedback problem on my account with them from his false accusations (Skunder is my username there) and you'd think they'd have fixed it by now! They're just stalling!

But should we even say "they"?? I had been in contact with an individual at reptibid through yahoo instant message who was under the username Reptibid. At 1st he was very professional and not a problem. He was keeping me updated on the Neubauer matter (the guy claiming he was sending them this or that, that he was going to scan this or that and email it, yadda yadda yadda - what was fascinating about this was he kept switching what he was sending - thus additional proof what a fraud the guy is - btw, he NEVER sent ANY information); and we got to know eachother over time and chatted and things got a bit more personal. We shared information about our lives and everything. As this went on, he began claiming that he was the soul owner of it all, that he was located in Florida...for "security reasons" he pretended he was more then one person...I believed him, why shouldn't I? He seemed nice enough! Seem honest and helpful! Then the past 2 days I've been catching him in lies left and right! He was telling me how he paid $4000+ for the chat software he uses (which even I didn't really believe because that's CRAZY) and he even showed me the site he's setting up for canadian reptibid (http://www.reptibid.ca/index2.html). He's saying now that it's a corporation/firm and he's only the webmaster. He's refusing to talk to me or plays dumb. Makes me wonder what exactly is going on with the thing. I myself won't be useing them ever again! and I don't recommend anyone else does! The whole this is a big fraud.

I wish I had saved all the IMs and emails he sent me...I'm sure he's going to come on here and deny it all...Cover his butt...Even try to claim Neubaurer was in the right. I really don't know if it is just a guy on a power trip trying to impress a girl or if it's a couple of scammers. I really, truely, genuinally liked the guy, but all this crap is just way too much! Why couldn't they're be honesty???

Is this Fluker information true? That's just damn scary!

I don't know what to think anymore. Why is the herp world so trashed by stuff like this?

I have to agree that reptibid plays games or is multiple people... he/she/they often come into faunachat and one time asked me to moderate their chatroom. I figured I'm online enough that one more distraction would be fun, so I gave him/her/it my information via email and he/she/it confirmed receipt of it. Next time I spoke to him/her/it he/she/it denied knowing anything and said it was someone else in the company.

Something to keep in mind when dealing with reptibid.....
