    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....

reptibid users

I can't find where on reptibid to go to look up a user's profile. I'll gladly sit and email all of them but I can't find their profiles....
 
Reptibid

I couldn't find it either. I could have sworn that I found it at one point in the past, but I can't find it now. Maybe someone should contact Reptibid with all the names? They have access to their info.

Working with Mike...

My full story, to date, of dealing with Mike Roe.

I bid on, and "won" an 01 captive bred 5' adult female brazilian rainbow boa. He had pictures and all. He would only accept money orders. I sent him the money order priority mail, and he promised he'd let me know as soon as it arrived. A full week later I had heard nothing from him, and wrote him asking if he had recieved it or not. He said Yes, that he had, and that he would be shipping the snake on thursday. Thursday comes, and I have heard nothing. I wrote him, asking him to let me know her approximate arrival time, and a tracking number so I could check on the progress every so often. He sent me back a blanket Email as if he were sending it out to many people saying that his father had had a heart attack and that he would be out of town for a while. I put a post up on the ReptiForum asking about others who had delt with him and I got directed here. Upon reading the thread here, I Emailed him immediatly telling him that if I don't get that snake then I had better get a full refund. He wrote back apologizing, and said that someone he knew had seen my post on here, and that I would be getting a full refund. I Emailed him back, and told him that if he had the snake, I would rather have the snake, but if he "couldn't" ship it to me by today I wanted a refund. He wrote me today and told me that because of family problems he would not have time to ship the snake, and that he would be sending me a full refund today. He never really tried to get out of communicating with me, and has seemed to work with me on this. The auction I won he had set to close in 24 hours, and upon looking at his other auctions, almost all of them were to close in that exact same time frame. Since then he hasn't posted any new ones. This is a copy of the snake I "won". I will post again and let you all know if I recieve my refund. Thanks again.

Reptibid's actions...

Reptibid had banned his username from Reptibid, so if you can find MysticHerps1 that's why. They're currently conducting a fraud investigation on him as well.

Mike Roe doesn't own any reptiles. When Det Taylor paid a visit to him all he saw were a few snakes in a box...I believe the sankes a person on here had sent to him. He is great with communication...a real sweet talker.....been good at scammin gpeople for a long time now. He had all sorts of reasons why he didn't ship to me, including the family emergency causing him to go out of town for awhile....He is good at what he does, a con artist. Don't even give him the benefit of the doubt for a moment. He has ripped off tons of people for thousands of dollars.

He is a bottom dweller and I hope with dillegence, we can continue to keep him from ever trying to sell a reptile again.
 
He nearly scammed me!

I searched my username and found this thread about Mike Roe. In April I won an auction for $500 for a litter of dumerils boas. He sounded fishy and would not send pics of parents or babies. I asked questions and he did not have beleivable answers so I backed out and I am now glad I did. My instincts saved me $500. I was contacted by the detective but he asked me if Mike Roe had scammed me but becaseu I backed out he did not. At the time I could not even recall hearing th name and did not connect him with the mysticherps1 auction. I still have the auction confirmation but it will not allow me to post negative feedback about him because he does not exist on reptibid anymore. Definately buyer beware on this guy!
