    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....

Powerhouse Reptiles Truths

And... just to be clear, does that mean you also believe every detail of every transaction both of those individuals have ever had? There are a few reports of extremely negative transactions with Joe.

Then there's the blatant threats of blackmail that Joe used to get his own way over at Reptile Auctions. Definitely not upstanding honest behavior.

And... because it really may need to be pointed out to some people; anytime you want Jim to show up in a thread and stick his head inside his rectum (where it's all warm and cozy and tough to see anything that might bother him) just mention Wendy Childs.

You bey ya, that about sums it up.
 
Jim, opinions based on third party information are one thing, but I read Joe's own words, I saw Joe's video. I based my finding and opinion about Joe on facts straight out of Joe's mouth, or off his keyboard.

Sorry to hear about your memory loss, maybe you will forget where the BOI is.

By the way, all the smiley faces make you look like a tool. Grow up!

Finally, I asked you to email me, but you did not. Why, you like an audience....again, grow up!

Seamus,
For the minimally serious part of your post, if somewhat uninformed:

And... just to be clear, does that mean you also believe every detail of every transaction both of those individuals have ever had? There are a few reports of extremely negative transactions with Joe.

Can you quote where I have said that those who have had bad experiences with Joe were not telling the truth ? Or maybe, to make it easier, where I said that Joe didn't rate the negative impressions many had of him ?

David, I -- will -- type -- real -- slow-- for -- you. I have no problem with you having the lowest of opinions about Joe. Many of your posts here are just pretty cheap regardless.

Bobby and Seamus ..... :rofl:

That'd be why it was a question Jim. You seemed to be implying that the transaction history of both these guys was clean. It's certainly what I, and apparantly a few others infered at any rate.

Joe has had plenty of customers who were satisfied that they got what they paid for.

He has had a lot of unsatisfied customers based on the price dropping stuff, although I still have grave doubts about the validity his own statements that it was all some diabolical master plan.

He has had a few- and it is a distinct minority- of unsatisfied customers who did not recieve what they paid for, who were lied to, misled or sent animals with health issues. Some of those he made an attempt to resolve, some he did not. With regards to those who were clearly screwed with nothing fixed; how many is too many? I'd say no number of satisfied customers can excuse those who ended up being ripped off.

Also- way to avoid admitting that your contention about the alias use to defend himself was blatantly wrong.
 
Jim, you just post to get into posting wars with people...that makes you a forum whore. So, many of your posts are worthless and just attempts to annoy people. Please tell me you have something better to do...please! Actually don't, I could care less and probably won't be able to read it since people emailed me how to ignore your annoying @$$.

The typing really slow thing, again, grow up.

I have heard of these issues in the past. I am trying to form an informed opinion about doing business with these people. I have never been able to access the videos that Dave has mentioned, does anyone one know where they can be found?

Seamus,
I am not going to ask you to support where I have ever implied even once that either of these guys is clean. I also have no direct transactions with either. I believe that your first four paragraphs in the above post are true. I also agree with those in the thread who claimed that most of their animosity against Joe was due to his arrogance, non-customer relations, pricing strategies, etc. I also have no difficulty understanding those that brush aside all the arrogance, etc., and allow personal and direct business transactions to form their opinions. I also root for the Yankees AND the Red Sox.

Also- way to avoid admitting that your contention about the alias use to defend himself was blatantly wrong.

No. You misread. The alias allegation referred to something said earlier in this thread, where it was suggested that an alias was being used in this thread by someone posting favorably of Joe/Clark. It was that to which I referred, and not what you mistakenly thought.

The gutter is all yours though.

I will fill you in... Ralph DID NOT get Joe banned from KS. A LOT of breeders told KS that they would pull their advertising if they continued to let him post... and some did talk to Jeff. And KS decided it was in the best interest of the COMMUNITY to ban him.

Doubt that it was the BP community ganging up on Jeff that got Joe banned. If that were true, then Rick would have been kicked off years ago. Joe got banned for his own psychotic posting behavior on the forum. I'm sure you remember the string of TOS violations he racked up in a very short period of time during the mojave fiasco - not to mention all of the blatant promotion of his business on the forums.... his made for TV type ads and his penchant for randomly putting huge almost page size "banner" MKR logo type graphics into his posts - all violations of the no advertising on the forum rules. Pretty clear to see that Joe got banned all on his own.

No, I believe Rick got kicked off after the fiasco because I believe it was proven based on posts on the forum that Rick was attempting to front/advertise on joey's behalf because joey obviously couldn't do it himself with his account shut down. The rules on that site were pretty clear on what happens to people caught circumventing bans or helping someone else to circumvent.

The truth be known. I was purchasing animal from MKR for flipping. just like other flippers Oz, J and J Reptiles, Ed Clark to name a few.
I received and email stating that "THEY WANTED DOCUMENTATION THAT THEY WERE MY ANIMALS." In other words they said they wanted my bank statement, or credit card statements. I said that I paid for them and I was not going to give them information I only give to the IRS!!!!!! Nor my profit margin I was making on those animals.....so they banned me. That is what took place!:NoNo:

so all those posts with all those photos of animals you got from joe (some with and without MKR logos) and all the joe/mkr name dropping at almost every chance you got wasn't really advertising on his behalf? :rolleyes:

I told you what took place. Embellish if you wish. I posted the animals that were put into my collection and gave credit to my purchases. Like I did about SK and others.

And just for the record, I do not know how you can flip over Joe, he is an ugly little thing, but to each his own. :eek: :shrug01:

Rumors? Oh come now Rick, it is the fact with you. Hell we could even change your name to flipper, because your stories are always fishy as hell.

I am so sorry that you got that brown stuff all over your nose, and the bad smell you have to boot, but that is what you knew would happen when you partnered up with your buddy Joe and stuffed your nose up his crack. Hell you reap what you planted, enjoy your crop and the bad rep that goes with it, you earned it. ;)

You are/have been supporting the scum that hurts our hobby, what in the hell do you want me to say? You done good? Or that it is just fine? I think not, hell you might be able to look old Chris Johnson up, he might be looking for a partner too, I am sure with your morals he is a good guy too.... :ack2:
