    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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....

Okay I know Matt has closed down but I need to get ahold of him, All of his e-mails and websites have been shut down. And the one phone number I found has been disconnected. I need to find this guy. In April I bought $150.00 worth of stuff and have not seen it and I now can't find him to get my stuff....

can anyone help me or am I f*****??
 
Are you sure? He is apperantly from the US I thought Matt was in Canada? That guy has a 98% good rateing, and I know Matt has been doing poor lately. And I e-mailed that guy back in June and he e-mailed me back about how he wasn't this Matt guy was sick of the e-mails and was gonna complain to e-bay about me. So I wasn't sure. All I know is I want my stuff or money, this is joke, it has been over 5 months and I haven't seen my order.
 
Matt is from West Virginia, not Canada. That is the same Matt on Ebay.
 
Yes, it is the same. If you look at the last auction he sold you will also see yet another site. If you run a Whois search the P.O. Box is the same as Matt's.

That sounds like a very typical Graybeal tactic right there....threatening to file a complaint against someone simply because they want what they paid for. If/when he threatens a lawsuit, then you'll KNOW you have the right guy. :rolleyes:

It's very interesting to take a look at what "mattsaviary" has for sale....rather ecclectic bits of junk and not a single one of them seems to have anything to do with "aviary" supplies. I did notice, though, that he has a couple of little remnants of MGReptiles .... some 24" tweezers, screen lids, and a few small bottles of chlorhexidine.....NOT the sort of stuff you'd find at your average joe's garage sale. Rest assured...it's Graybeal you're pestering. (As if the above evidence provided by BOI's super-sleuths wasn't enough! :D )

Is this the lawsuit threat you were waiting for?

LOL....yeah...just like that.

Does anyone know why he all the sudden went "nuts"! Just curious.

Dennis....personally, I don't believe it was "sudden" at all. I think he built his house on a big ol' pile of sand...and it slowly shifted out from under him...and his house began to collapse bit by bit until even Graybeal had to see that it was no longer going to stand on its own. Only then did he close his doors and move into a new house. And I'll bet ya dollars to donuts that this house is on equally slippery footing....and it's collapse is only a matter of time. Unless...of course...Graybeal finally lets go of the pride that has kept him blind this whole time.
 
Here's another email addy of his. I contacted him at [email protected] last week and he responded back from [email protected] and signed his name Matt, so definitely him.

He still owes me about $140 (didn't ship out a big chunk of my order, that took 2 months to arrive BTW) of which I'll never see. He's scum, and won't amount to anything.

It took me over 5 months to get what i ordered from him... and he didn't reply back to me until i threatened with a third party... he is scum and glad to see hes out of the business...
 
I cannot find the withdrawn good guy certifications at the top of the main BOI page, otherwise I would vote bad guy on MG Reptiles. If I can get to it, I will vote bad guy on Matt.
