    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....

Finding Matt @ mgreptiles

trader ratings are for actual transactions, the GGC can be based on one's impression of how the holder does business...sort of like an abridged version of the BOI without all the distractions
 
This is direct from his website Graybeal Enterprises.

"We stand by the saying "The customer is always right" because if
the customer is not happy, then you simply do not have a business.
Treat the customer right and they will come back, treat them like a
number and they will never been seen again. We do not want that
here at GE, we want all to be happy!"

LOL! What a load of sh*t!

Also funny to see how he talks about Christianity this and that, picture of Jesus on the cross etc. This guy's mental.

What a freaking nut! I read the whole Christian values thing, then I went to the beginning site for the insane targets that is listed....I didn't cut and paste, but go take a look....exploding head targets complete with goo and meat......RACE targets???? What the heck does that mean? I get to order some targets of black individuals so the boys and I can have some fun with our guns when we put on the hoods and sheets next month??? Come on, this guy is scum...a con artist....liar...and who knows what else. I had some contact with him before on some boards and never would have expected that I was conversing with someone like this.
 
Wow.... I guess I shouldn't be surprised, given the kind of language he has used with his own customers in the past...but still, it makes me go "WOW"... :rolleyes:

No, "race targets" has nothing to do with skin color. They're targets for IPSIC and IDPA shooting competitions where you "race" the clock and are scored on time and accuracy.

Aahhhh...thank you for that clarification, Erin.

Still....the whole blood-and-guts exploding targets is extremely disturbing. Nothing like desensitizing people with guns to the ugliness of actually shooting a real person. :rolleyes: (That being said...I have no idea how common such targets are among gun enthusiasts, and maybe there is nothing particularly unusual about Graybeal's selection of "targets." I'm all for freedom of owning guns for law abiding citizens...but anyone who wants to shoot at targets like those would make me a little...ummm...nervous.)

LMAO, my bad! I should have known better, I've got some of those competition targets myself, I guess after following the thread the whole way through it kinda lead into that with my mindset. For this issue I apologize to Matt and wish him the best with the target and gun businesses.....because then he can do the right thing and give all these people their money back!!!
 
Maybe the gun business will atleast keep him honest !! Would you really want to screw over someone you just sold a hundred targets to !!! LOL !!!
 
Thank you everyone, I have e-mailed him at mattaviary and to no avail he has not responded so I will try the justcage e-mail and see what i get from that. This is freaking nutts, I paid a lot of money for so stuff and I can't even get it, and I got no way to fight it because he dragged it out passed the time alouded for me to get paypal involved. I don't know what to do is it possible to get the courts involved so late in the game??

:shootfoot (I feel like that guy).
 
Taydom,

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. I got not so "warm fuzzies" feelings from Matt when I dealt with him in August of 2005, his "excuses" were never consistent. I still gave him a second try in January 2006, and had the same experience. I've since been dealing with Rich of ReptileBasics and never looked back.

Sadly, there may be no recourse for you, but if you ever need supplies again, give Rich a try. You won't be disappointed!
