Bad Guy ED CLARK... BUYERS and WHOLESALERS BEWARE..

[SERPENTS DEN]

The only dragon breeder still selling to Ed is Nicole. He hasn't produced his own. His BP's come from Ian. Again, he hasn't produced his own.

Ed, you are getting quite a reputation from what I am hearing in conversations with other people. Maybe it's time to stop burning bridges and screwing people over.

According to Ed he's a breeder.

Ed,

All the bridges that you burn will one day come back to haunt you. One day you'll find yourself walking lonely er.

 

[Iraqvet]

I dont even know how the dude can show his face at reptile shows anymore..Real classy to dig up other threads on someone Ed just to try to take some oressure off you..Why cant you respond to ANY questions anyone asks you??Why cant you back YOUR WORDS UP WITH PROOF??For the love of god Ed,get rid of your animals and call it quites...You and Nicole will do great with a used car lot....You guys have low ethical standards,and have the canny ability to deny deny deny...I can see it now..A kid comes in with his dad looking for his first car..They see one and you assure them its the best deal ever..Later on that day the kids driving down the road..All the sudden the tranny drops,the gas tank falls down,and all four tires fall off...The dad and kid show up at your shop really madd..The only thing you can say is -I um um yeah I dont know how that happend,but no refunds,and we are closing so you gotta leave now.

I keep reading this and think, did he produce any of the dragon's he's currently selling? Or has he ever produced any?

Should Tom be getting the praises on some of the picture threads that Ed had posted on, and furthermore, did Nicole take the pictures?

Jeff Crider

Jeff, with all the pictures Ed loves to take and post. how come he has none of babies hatching? He has zero pictures of females laying eggs. If this is something ed loves to enjoy so much how there are no pictures of stuff like this. Future more I would doubt if he does finally post some pictures because they could be of someone else babies. Ed visits to my apartment he came with cash, his camera, and a bag to take the babies home in. That why i started packing his babies in boxes, i couldnt believe he was putting all the dragons in a bag to drive them all the way home to jersey.
Well i can take some credit Jeff, but like Ed said not all the babies were mine.

Thomas... how many orders has Ed had with you?

Ed would place one or two orders a month. Atleast 20 to 30 dragons a clip. thats why i would kick him some free-bies. he got alot of stuff. i wanted him to be happy and come back. During our transaction period other than the money he owed me on two separate occasions, there wasnt much of a problem. Ed was always quite eager to come down and get more.

I think with the amount of shady business Ed Clark has conducted over the years he should have earned a "Sticky" by now on top of the BOI board with links to all his threads. That would give some potential victims a heads up on whether or not they want to gamble their money away on digitally enhanced animals.


Ed people are still waiting for an answer on how many FREE DRAGONS was Tom nice enough to give you?

I think he has earned some kinda something. I mean its not like he's got a web-site. he uses fauna to scam and steel from people. its really a shame.

According to Ed he's a breeder. :rofl

According to the zebra, the lion said it doesnt eat meat.

 

[DAND]

Trully sad behavior coming from a grown man

Just because he's grown doesn't mean he's a man.

According to Ed he's a breeder.

Let us hope not.

 

[Riyo]

All I can say is wow...

After your behaviour (and all the BOI threads I've read on you, Ed) I can safely say I will NEVER consider buying from you. What a piece of work...

It's a shame. You had some nice rainwaters I was eyeballing at one point but, good grief, am I glad I didn't buy from you! If I ever hear any of my friends looking to buy from you I will make sure to point them to these threads and tell them to stay away.

And how many months did he buy from you?

Jeff

Unless Nicole has them, he is not getting them anywhere else.
His reputation in CT, MA, NH, NY, RI is getting very bad.

But what about the "Inferno Line?"

Jeff

He recently bought that red leatherback from Chuck T.(another famous jersey boy) i Believe and he acquired the inferno line not to long before christmas. If he has had him longer how come there are no pics? how come he tags that red leatherback to everything he sells but never discloses the mothers line??? Or has pics of him breeding?

And how many months did he buy from you?

Ed met me in april of 09' at the harve de grace show where he bought a few dragons. from there on out Ed was a consistant customer of 1 or two times a months he would come and get animals. the only time he would post pone a pick up is when he owed me money.

Unless Nicole has them, he is not getting them anywhere else.

His rep on the web isnt much better, I mean Jim D in Canada can smell his crappy business all the way up there!

So if my figures are correct.... assuming 1 purchase a month for 8 months (April - Nov) and I believe you stated he normally got 5 or 6 freebies with each visit.

So that comes out to 40 free dragons over 8 mos (1 vist per month) or most likly $3,000+ in pure profit if he sold them for just $75 each. My guess is they probably went closer to $100 each... but Im just being conservative on the figures.

Ed Id say you came out smelling like a rose on this deal.... then you want to go and in the rose garden. Not just real smart on your part.

this is just an observation from someone looking in.

Your business model is based off of new blood not knowing you or your past transactions. This business model is set up for failure from the get go. As long as you have been in the industry I would have thought you would have learned one thing. Its repeat business that keeps small business afloat. There are a few folks out there that I buy from year after year... not just because they have quality animals... but moreso because of the quality of their customer service.

You could have a one of a kind...never seen before animal... and be selling it for only $100 and I wouldnt buy it from you. Mainly because of your customer service. How many times have I (or someone else) asked you a direct question... and you just side stepped the issue. What if I was your customer... would you side step problems that I was having like you are on here? That is what I am seeing here.

Just some food for thought... .not that you really care.

 

[zzzdanz]

I was thinking about the pure profit alone he made on those freebies as well Kev.
You can bet your ass that $75 is probally on the conservative side too.
I believe somewhere in this thread it was said he made a cpl. hundred profit on 1 animal alone..I could be wrong on that 1.

I understand Ed's in business (or call it what ya will) to make a profit and I'm all for that, not just for him but everyone on here trying to make a buck or two.But Ed seems to be the only one who tends to bite the hand that feeds him.

If Ed took a minute himself and thought about the free $$$, basically what those animals where to him, and just said to himself ..*ya know, I'm not gonna make a fuss over this, I'll just replace those animals and be done with it*..He'ld probally still be doing business with Tom and getting his wallet filled w/free $$$$.....This of course if what Ed states was true about the animals, ..me, I call BS on that being the case but w/e.

Now he not only lost that money and that business connection, but probally a s@@@ load more from people reading about his BS business practices and going elsewhere to buy thier dragons.

Maybe it's me but I just can't figure out what goes thru his mind when he pulls this kind of s@@@

 

[Iraqvet]

I agree...It does seem like Ed does tend to bite the hand that feeds him..He thinks he is the guy everyone wants to be friends with,like he is a somebody..I would love to go to a show with him there,just to stand there and point and laugh at him...You make good points zzzdanz..All the money he made off the free stuff,could have kept comming in if he wouldnt have tried to be a bully.I dont ask for free stuff,but hey I will take whats offered lol.I think he dosnt reply much cause he might know what he did just wasnt good for businness..Again,why do you think you should be aloud to walk all over people Ed?Why do you feel like you can do as you please so you can make out,no matter what bridge you burn?I would love for you to come back and answer all our questions Ed??Or are you to busy realizing you made some huge mistakes?

It is a shame he did have it made. and i didnt mind cause he wasnt giving me no static.He was making money and coming back. repeatedly
how do you think Ed was able to afford those boa master cages he bought in nov of 09'. so before you had the boamasters ed what did you use to keep your dragons in since the 80's? glass aquariums?

I was thinking about the pure profit alone he made on those freebies as well Kev.

Real conservative!!!! they were mostly leathers and hypo trans. like i said but there were some hypos and translucents too!

you could be, but your not.

Maybe it's me but I just can't figure out what goes thru his mind when he pulls this kind of s@@@

Who knows? .. but he hasnt denied any free dragons from the get so you know it must be true... and best believe he made some good money!

 

[zzzdanz]

Of course he made good money, with no over head and 100% profit, how could one not.
You'ld have to be 100% het for stupid to blow that gig.

Don't you mean homozygous? ed has clearly demonstrated to have this visual trait. For our future generation's sake let's hope it is not a dominant trait. Let's hope it was more of a line bred thing.

how about we just hope that nobody breeds him so we dont have to find out.

 

[Iraqvet]

Wow..The last three posts just made my morning lol...But yes,it obviously does prove Ed is not businness man.I dont think he ever has been.I just dont know how he could be such a turd..I dont think Ed gets it yet..You could have been great name,and great businness Ed...Instead you have a horrible name and horrible businness.I see Ed getting more desperate as he loses more money..If anyone is out there and Ed is comming to you and cant pay upfront,I wouldnt front him anything!!You may never hear from him again...

 

[capt._howdy]

.If anyone is out there and Ed is comming to you and cant pay upfront,I wouldnt front him anything!!You may never hear from him again...

i think it would be even smarter not doing business with him at all. thats just what i think
