    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

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


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

A deal gone wrong with Mike Plank at, B.G.R.

Joe,

Once agian, hopefully mike wil pay you! You still dont deserve that...


But
I knew you would fly right over my last post.. kinda hit home huh?


Jon,
One of the guys really for the other breeders (not just my own customers!)
 
Hey Joe,

You think you are so smart, but you don't even see what an ass you are. Read your posts. Just pick any one of them in this thread. Let's see if you sell like you did again. People see how you are now. I will never buy from a ass like you. :no01:
 
Congrats Joe, glad to hear you will "hope" get your hard earned money back!
That was just wrong.
Please let us know when the money comes to you.
:angry:
 
John, its a b grade thing that is on his site. its good for a few laughts. he thinks that he is doing something there. he is just showing what he really is. A nut case.
 
didnt see it

I went to his site didnt see any shows, movies.... or even a price....
 
Joe glad to hear you are getting your money back. It is well deserved.
Thank you for all your help and taking care of us......the customers of MKR.

JOSH & Jen @ J&J REPTILES :reddevil:

Back on page 15 of this insanity play Mr. Hultman posted the following observations and requests:
1. “Going back to the topic at hand. Two emails have been posted with no headers and no dates. Please provide a little more information.”

2. “According to the letter you put forth, you misread his letter. Do you have any more correspondence sent AFTER you wrote that letter?”

3. “I not meaning this in a derogatory way but you have supplied No evidence. Not even dates have been provided here. Joe, if you been scammed, show your evidence here.
When was the last time you had contact with him?”

Joe seemingly just ignored the fact he needed to make a case.

On page 31 Mr. Pollock pointed out, “Joe, perhaps you are unfamiliar with how the BOI is supposed to work.
YOU need to provide proof that what you say is true.”

Once again Joe ignored the post. Why I wonder?

Suddenly Mike calls him and everything is rosey. Notice we never heard from anyone named Mike Plank.

Joe never came through with any proof of anything. He claimed he had his Lawyer on it but called him off because he knew Mike would do the right thing? Why bring it here if he had such a solid case?

As far as I am concerned this guy was just fishing for publicity because his BIG DEAL business telemarketing is really not all that great and he wanted the attention this forum brings. Until I see Mike Plank actually come on here and say this was a real deal problem I'm going to believe that the BOI was scammed by the used car salesman.

Also I doubt the Gecko world has anything to worry about.
Joe is neither a breeder nor a herpetoculturist, he is a car salesman.
His partner Wes Harris is the BP breeder. For Joe to get into Aussie Geckos he would need another partnership with someone who knew what they were doing with Nephrurus to begin with then he would need to be able to draw on the knowledge of the top Nephrurus experts in the country to get his act together. Just as he and Wes leaned on Tracy Barker, Lindy Johnson, Ralph Davis, Dan & Colette Sutherland, Brian Sharp, and Kevin McCurly to get where he and Wes have gotten with BPs.

Just my view after reading this whole thread.

John, the gecko breeding operation is already a reality, joe capone has partnered up with clark tucker in alabama. he says he is going to put all gecko breeders out of business. I dont see how he can produce the numbers to make a difference. I also believe that he will have a difficult time finding anyone to buy his product as he calls it.
 
Anyone else find it odd...

That the contact information in the navigation bar has a different phone number on all the pages and none of the numbers match the numbers listed on the contact page?

Joe I'm glad you got this worked out and your getting your money back. I think we could all have done without the name calling and personal attacks on this thread.

The answer to that is simple enough - Joe is the sales person. Period. That is what he does for MKR (along with whatever financial backing he brought). Not even in the same state as the animals (though I'm sure he visits). The fact that Wes has the snakes and does the breeding is no secret.

I won't deny that at one point I contacted MKR via email, figuring if I could get the quality I was seeking for a better price, I would give them a shot. Joe responded without actually addressing ANY of my questions, assuring me that his partner Wes ("the guy that does the spiders") would be in touch. It never happened. I sent another email - got more BS, another promise that I would hear from Wes, and still no answers...still no call. I purchased elsewhere. After everything I have seen both here, and on other forums, I don't regret paying a bit more. So much for their proclaimed great customer service :shrugs01:
 
Joe,

This was a very informative thread about you. I remember you called me a year or so ago asking for amyae females. You said "I don't want to breed them, I just want something cool to look at." That seemed quite strange to me at the time, and it still does. I wouldn't have a problem if you said you wanted to breed them, but I don't like being lied to. Your true motives with Nephrurus are quite clear to me now.
