    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.....

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


    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....

Check the feedback for both the seller and bidder. They only have one each and it is from each other...lol
 
Yeah.. and in those, "Geckos_unlimited" was the buyer. Now, the seller's buying from the buyer..

Possible, but.. out of all the people to buy.. not likely, I should think... HHHHhhhmmmm.....
 
No rip off here

Like i told you Mr.Hall i made up an id name.Now that you have informed me that it is nearly the same as your company i have agreed to change my id name and relist.I was lucky enough to have somone that i bought some geckos from before place a bid for me so it will end faster.I told you to buy it now so it would end then i could relist.What Mr.hall hasent told you is that i contacted him immidiatley upon recieving his email.I said i was sorry for the mix up but i honestly didnt even know his company existed.I am fairly new to this hobbie and the main sites i do know are links from here kingsnake and reptibid.No scam artist here.I have been trying to sell my geckos for over a month now.So if people did think i was you and you think i was using your name to help me sell them it sure didnt help much.So as soon as this issue is resolved i would much appriciate it if you informed these people that i have changed my id ,not because i have to because i dont.They are similar but not the same.I am changing it because if i put myself in your shoes i can see you have a company and our names are nearly the exact same and i dont want to doop people into buying based on that.So sorry for the mix up , it was an honest mistake.I also contacted the webmaster to have my pos. feedback transsfered to my new name ,but still no response.To all have a good and safe 4th and good luck on their ventures.

*Laughs* Reptibid isn't good on transferring feedback - once they Do get around to replying you (it might be a few weeks - seriously), they'll just tell you can't and/or don't do that.

Sometimes, Reptibid just makes me want to :flamethr:!!!!! ugh

:scatter:
 
repti bid

They better transfer it as i earned it even if it is only 1.If they dont then i dont think ill even be using them again.I have emailed them 2 times today with no response.I got 1 positive feedback in the month or so ive been using them.I know its not much but its a start,you know what i mean?Anyways how do you post those pics of the guy with the flame thrower?I can only choose from a few?
 
Click on the Get More link under the smilies.

I got a lot of unwarranted feedback a while back - some guy was being a complete jerk. I emailed Reptibid and I emailed Reptibid and I emailed. They FINALLY replied telling me that they couldn't do ANYthing about it. So I kept complaining.

They finally said okay we'll wipe the bad stuff from your record.

Now, I had a couple of really good feedbacks on there. Reptibid erased EVERYthing. :angry:

Here recently, I was trying to sell stuff, and I had this troll/stalker who would get on the Q&A every time and post REALLY bad stuff to ruin my reputation. I would email Reptibid about a million times and they'd FINALLY get around to erasing my Q&A - but that's ALL they would do. I even knew who it most likely was, and I gave them all that info. But they wouldn't lift a finger.

That bad Q&A would stay on there for a few days at a time sometimes. I've decided now that it's not worth it. I sold my animals a lot quicker here on Fauna.

Aaron,

An underscore is the only thing that differentiates our names. You mentioned that you only go on a couple of sites and were unaware of my company. I advertise and post on those sites, and I don't think this was a coincidence.

Yes, you contacted me shortly after I posted on Reptibid, and I appreciate that. I will give a complete update as soon as this issue is resolved.
 
Aaron Duarte is not who he says he is!!!

Nathan, 'Aaron Duarte' is actually Mitch Garlow, the guy that I posted about here on the BOI.
 
Mitch i am not

That mean old gecko lady is taking a little somthing to alter her mind. You think I am ILL MITCH GARLAW because of my punctuation. Are you that obssesed with ILL Mitch that you see him everywhere or at least in me. If you honestly think I am him then you need some psych meds seriously. Get your facts straight before you start accusing me of somthing so off the wall. Peace and Love and Prosperity
 
Time will tell...

If I am wrong, and Aaron Duarte and Mitch Garlow are NOT the same people, I will publicly admit I was wrong and apologize. Time will tell by the progress of this thread and the posts that are made. I am asking that folks here on the forum take a look at the last several posts on the "Mitch Garlow thread" and someone do an IP address check on both of these people.
 
No offense Marcia, but shouldn't you have more than just a gut feeling before you acuse someone of something.
 
***

I am simply trying to protect my reputation and will be satisfied when Aaron no longer uses my company name on Reptibid.
 
Reptimart

I am absolutely floored!!!! I did a little searching and found that Aaron is also using geckos_unlimited on Reptimart. So, your email address is [email protected], huh? Aaron, I am wasting entirely too much time dealing with this. Why didn't you mention this to me? I guess this is why I've been getting warnings from Reptimart as well. I've never posted a gecko for sale on Reptibid or Reptimart!! BTW, have you really tried to contact Reptibid?
 
Still nothing

I have seriously emailed them 3 times and have heard nothing. The add on reptimart is gone as of now. The last item on reptibid ends in 3 days I think. I am sorry for this mixup but I have done all that I can. I didnt mean to affect your reputation or anything. I was trying all kinds of id names and they already existed. So finally geckos_unlimited worked. I didnt know it was a company or else I would never have made it. I will even change my email as it is also similar. I dont know why you would be getting warnings because of me. Our emails are different and I have done nothing wrong on any site. So the reptimart ad is gone (I am going to do it right now) and the auction will end soon. Sorry Mr.Hall for all of the drama this has caused I am making it right . A PLACE OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY
 
Aaron,

Is there some reason you didn't use GeckoKreeper as your ID?
oops! You saying you tried alot names and that one was available, did you happen to try Geckos Unlimited without the underscore? Just wondering...

Aaron and Mitch ARE the same person/

No offense Marcia, but shouldn't you have more than just a gut feeling before you acuse someone of something.

I still say that Aaron Duarte and Mitch Garlaw (Garlow) are one in the same. Take a look at the "Mitch Garlow" thread, and ad on ReptiBid as well as the feedback:
http://www.reptibid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.pl?category=a_lizard_leopardgeckos&item=1089334116

Notice they BOTH live in Covina, CA and have the same zip code, and have the very same dial-up ISP. They BOTH use lower case "i" when referring to themselves (until I pointed it out on the Mitch Garlow thread), do not use a space between sentences (again until I made that point on the other thread), they BOTH use the term "funds" and Mitch's email addys are "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" and the feedback on ReptiBid is by user name is "Smoke1". They BOTH spell the word "hobbie" instead of hobby, and both spell the word 'immediately' as "immidiatley" on Reptibid, and on the BOI threads. BOTH were born in the same year, and BOTH use the terms, "making it right" and "doing the right thing" on both threads. On the 'Mitch Garlow thread, Mitch says, "To all stay safe healthy and have a good life" and "To all stay safe and stay up." On this thread, he says, "To all have a good and safe 4th and good luck on their ventures."

I don't think this is just gut feeling or a coincidence at all.
 
Again I guess I am going to have to watch my punctuation because of things like this. I live in Glendora,San Dimas and my parents live in West Covina not Covina. I could go to this jokers house if i wanted as its pretty close. You honestly need psych meds seriously. I have to start watching my punctuation I guess. I dont know if your mind is going from old age or if you just assume and you cant be wrong in your mind. Tell me how I can show you I am Aaron Duarte? When you find out you will need psych meds or a catscan to see if your brain is functioning properly. If you made an honest mistake then whatever but you messed up not me. Is your life that boring that everyone that writes like this guy and has the same ip is him. If this is the case the chemicals are affecting your brain alot more than you think. So Good Luck in Life and Be Happy Not a Mean Old Lady Like Your Name Says. As for smoke 1 on repti bid i bought a crested gecko off this guy and the name was Chris Smith . I didnt want to send the money based on his id but he sent the gecko first so no problems there. I may only have 1 possitive feedback but thats good for about a month. Let me know and i will call you to resolve this matter ASAP as you are trying to give me a bad rep based on your thoughts. I think thats defermation of character. AARON DUARTE
