    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....

Greg Vanzweden to be avoided as a customer or a seller ~ Possible Mental Illness

If I had felt is would be better to wait 30 or 90 days before I shipped to avoid being scammed I would have done just that. In this business one has to watch their backs and even the backs of their friends to watch out for porential problems suck as this. I truly feel that If I had shipped the same day I received the return I would be out the monies for the thransaction as Greg would have put some type of paypal dispute on them. Like Jim said it is done now and there is no chance of it ever happening with you or your brother again. Just for the record I do talk to 90% of my customers before they place an order with me.. I consider everyone of my customers my friends!!!

KM, I believe that I can say straight-faced that I mean you no ill will. This is also the second thread in a week in which I have been accused of being a friend to someone I do not know, never met, and have never done business with. Whatever my motivations are, and it is pointless for me to state them as each will assign what they will, I have no personal stake in Matt G. KM, I am not unsympathetic with your earlier concerns about how your brother was characterized. Rightly or wrongly, I would have fired a few salvos in reply myself. And once done, I can only hope that a friend would have contacted me and taken me drinking!
 
Matt,

Don't you got some guns to go shoot? A nice young lady to take to dinner? A new order that needs shipped? Maybe a cage or two that needs cleaned? Perhaps some bird droppings that need pressure washed off your deck?

Actually all of the above..lol IM done..
 
Kathryn, Matt had every reason to be careful with an order coming from you after having to deal with your brother. The run around Greg gave Matt has been quite interesting and at times difficult to follow. As for me, I would have been extremely cautious, as Matt was, if another person came into the situation to buy products stating they are related to a person I just had a hard time putting an order together for. Not to mention being accused of destroying merchandise before shipment when the accuser did not properly read the ad before placing the order. Why would Matt not be careful after Greg had other people involved as it is, along with the possibility all the e-mails were from Greg and no one else?
 
OK one more.. I know it is hard to follow but the money sent to me by Kathryn was for Gregs products..lol..
 
I'm glad I brought your fakeness to light, it appears Tons of bigger reptile breeders then I ever was. Had many problems with you, and where are you're sheep now? It's funny I came across this 20 years later, yet remember it perfectly.

No one mentioned the real problem, I don't know why that is. But you're out on bad terms now, and I am not. Any words at all Matthew?
Why would someone buy that many feet in 12 inch flex? It was all cut to 10 and 11inch peaces, it would make so much more sense to buy a roll of 10 inch & let me cut it.

Everyone that backed his great customer service, is a joke. 😆 Just look at urself and think about it. Matt has been found guilty of many many things, on here now as it clearly shows. If you are so inclined to look, can't say I'm sorry about non of it. Glad you got what was coming 😊 to bad others didn't listen up. I was way to busy to waste my time on you 20 years ago. But id like to poke at you now, if your still with US?
