Good Guy schaumda

[Chris Kennard]

Wow, WTF is wrong with people. Is nothing sacred anymore. Why destroy this man's thread. Please don't defend yourselves either because I'm not listening. I know I know you apologized. This crap is shameful nevertheless. There's a time and a place, and this sure as heck wasn't and isn't it, and there's already a thread about all of this. Good Lord. Plus Ryan even pm'd, as he understood it would probably be in poor taste to be public with any of those conversations you were all digging at here; and rather than take him up on the offer, instead, that was thrown out in favor of a public attack on Markus and his character. Meanwhile, this is a good guy thread, from a happy customer, who obtained all of his animals through Markus legally.

Plus, Markus and Ryan, both had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the business deal going sour between Garrett and the other fellow. The irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.

I myself recieved animals from Markus, legally, via Garrett. Key word ... Legally. So I am am confused, but I understand why. It is because apparently Garrett, and I don't know this for a fact, but apparently Garrett made a mistake years ago, not on any transactions with Markus or Ryan or myself mind you ... Yet the early summer 2015 absolutely legal shipment they did on this one order and shipment of Ryan and my animals, is somehow being misconstrued and wrongly fashioned into some sort of current illegal activity, which never occurred. Markus had all of the paperwork in accordance with my last order. And has everything in occordance with today's delivery! And all of the orders for everyone else he does. The only reason bigger names aren't in here defending Markus right now is because they don't want to give up their connect(Markus) to you. Wildlife Customs just cleared a shipment from Markus for me and others this past Thursday. Okay I'll wait for that to sink in ...

I am up early eagerly anticipating, and prepping for today's delivery, and to see this thread like this is a pitty.

Furthermore, as Ryan already alluded to, Markus has multiple contacts here stateside, because he does big business, because he has the right upper echelon animals. Assuming Garret is/was his right hand man is just shortsighted.

It also seems Garrett is doing everything by the books as well. So if you hate Garrett for a past mistake then don't deal with him. Currently though, it seems he's corrected his ways. I don't know, I don't even know if Garrett was that guy who got convicted. Point is, I purchased my animals from Markus, and he delivered absolutely gorgeous specimens, and I couldn't wait to shop again. So if you have a problem with hard to get, and near impossible to source legally imported reptiles, then Markus is not for you. Today's order isn't even coming via Garrett at all. And speaking of Garrett, people make mistakes. If Garret payed the price and learned from his mistakes, then good for him. Should he have to give up a profession/hobby he loves if indeed he learned from his past transgressions, felt disappointed in himself, and corrected his ways.

In any event, the only thing you've all exposed here, is a few legal deals, a few extremely happy customers, and a good guy thread about Markus Schaub which is well deserved and earned. I just want you readers to know, that whatever issue these people have with Garrett, has nothing to do with Markus and doesn't belong here.

Enough said.

I couldn't find the "public attack on Markus and his character".

 

[Chris Kennard]

also Kerry...

Garrett stated in this thread "he already has over a dozen happy customers and I helped in EVERY ONE of them". Since you mentioned irony, your statement, "assuming Garrett is/was his right hand man is just shortsighted", is laughable. So according to you, "today's order isn't even coming via Garrett at all". Why is that?

 

[Chris Kennard]

Oh, and one more thing Kerry. Since Garrett has nothing to do with your shipment (wink wink), I will be "eagerly anticipating" a good guy thread from you on whoever you are getting your shipment sent from. Good luck.

Speaking of Garrett,

"And speaking of Garrett, people make mistakes."

"If Garrett has learned from his mistakes"

"I don't even know if Garrett was that guy who got convicted."

"Should he have to give up a profession/hobby he loves IF indeed he learned from his past transgressions, felt disappointed in himself, and corrected his ways."

SURELY YOU JEST.... He may not be smuggling any longer...

Now he's scamming for dollars, using one excuse after another, or just ignoring the facts, as to why he's not paying back those he owes.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, our hats are off to Markus, he definitely seems to be a STAND UP GUY!

Enough Said...........

Mr. I'mnotlistening is definitely viewing.

 

[Chris Kennard]

Well said Ryan.

We had animals going to 4 different customers on that shipment and all arrived in perfect condition. 2 were Markus's customers and 2 were my customers.

If anyone would read the BOI started on me you will see that Mike and I had an agreement to go in on a deal. He wants out because he can't wait until the transaction is complete and thinks I should buy him out. Thats not a scammer.

Lynn Peterson is a friend of Mikes and so he will keep commenting on the post to stir things up.

Vanessa Lane and Alexander McKelvy I have called out before on their BS before so now they are on this ban wagon. They will get their own BOI's at a later date.

When the time is right I will post a current background report that I had to take for a new job position and you will see a clean record. The majority of the people that we have sold things to can see exactly what this is and are sending Markus or myself money no problem.

But this post is about Markus and how he is a GREAT GUY! He already has over a dozen happy customers and I helped in everyone of them.

How about posting a current status report on the animals you are supposedly getting for Mike? All that invisible paperwork. Tsk tsk.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Markus

Could we please limit this BOI thread to experiences with Markus? I understand how things got off track for a bit but several statements made should be on Garrett's thread. I'm not crediting or discrediting anyone's statements but my intention in starting this thread was to thank Markus and share my positive experience with him. All the connections either directly or indirectly to Garrett have been described in detail so I don't see the need to continue commenting on Garrett and Mike's transaction on this BOI.

Hello Ryan,
Hello Brian,

I am more then thankful to see the wonderful things you wrote about me. It is always a pleasure to feel your trust and enjoy every conversation we have. It is not typical, that people who know each other "only" from hours whatsapping, speaking, writing emails develope such a great relationship.
To everyone reading: If you find Rian and/ or Brian as customers, be sure, you will have big fun.

What I can say about the other posts: I am thankful for the good guys threat. And as everyone of you has the right to expect in your own bois people reporting their experience with you, I kindly ask you to respect, that this threat is made by satisfied customers about me.

We had it last time, that the threat went more then off topic. I don´t see any reason, why you, Chris (we never had any deal together, never) are commenting here about somebody who has nothing to do with this threat. This is totally off topic and I would also think, that this off topic posts like #25 and #26 are not what this bois are made for. Please mods, correct me if I am wrong.

Eric made a fantastic job, sending the animals from Ferndale to Brian. All perfectly packed, all animals arrived well. I will surly find his boi, if not there, I´ll creat one. His service was more then excellent.

Again,
thank you Brian and Rian. You guys rock!!!

This thread was going well for you until your pals Garrett and contemporary(name check please) showed up. I responded to two people here directly who injected themselves into this thread BEFORE I POSTED A WORD, sparking the negativity you are trying to pin on me. First Garrett, then Mr. Conteporary, who seems to have more than one name. I know you were viewing Garrett's thread earlier. Why is that Markus? Unfortunately for a seemingly stand up guy like yourself, as long as Garrett is your partner or U.S. filter or whatever, you will be burdened by your shared threads. Live with it.

 

[Chris Kennard]

My intent was to thank Markus and tell everyone he is a stand up guy. If I had known it would go this direction I would have kept my comments to myself. Markus has several resources/people other than Garrett Smith in the U.S. as you say associates. I now see why they choose to remain anonymous. I offered you the chance to call me and discuss but you chose not to so I don't care to discuss this any further. If you or anyone else is concerned with Markus' resources or ability to secure your investment than I suggest you reach out and discuss it with him privately. That is exactly what I did and it proved to be very secure and a pleasant experience.

I'm curious. Why would his other "resources" choose "to remain anonymous" if a competitor is in a bad light? That makes no sense. And why was there no mention of Garrett in your first post? Careful how you answer that one.

Please elaborate Markus to avoid any comfusion. In post #14, Garrett claims involvement in all of your transactions here. Enter the name Eric. Please explain, or perhaps your partner could weigh in.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Markus

Excuse me but I explained all the details in post number 10. There is nothing for me to be careful of here. I have not committed any crime or given any false information. For this exact reason is why I chose to somewhat reserved in my first post. On the 10th post I explained in full detail the "ENTIRE" transaction so there is no more to discuss.

 

[Chris Kennard]

As I previously stated this was to give thanks to a person who went above and beyond (Markus). After a recommendation from a friend that Markus could legally obtain unique animals I reached out to him. After speaking with him I realized his current availability that included animals specifically monitor lizards were lizards that I already had. During that discussion Varanus mertensi came up and I expressed interest in these animals. He offered to purchase them from Philip in the UK and send me some in his next shipment to the U. S. I had never previously pursued animals directly from overseas as I've purchased animals imported by other reputable people in the U.S. Which did not include Garrett Smith. Markus and I agreed upon a price and I expressed concern with a large transaction of money with someone I had never worked with before. He said he had a shipment of various monitors in a month and he could include the mertensi with this shipment for a small deposit. He was to contact me when the shipping papers were approved. Approximately 3 weeks later he contacted me saying everything is all set with export paper from Germany. I asked where the shipment was being sent to and he said Garrett Smith in California. He stated Garrett would receive and would immediately ship to me. At this point I had read a few negative posts about Garrett but hadn't ever had any dealings with him. This is where my comments about Markus go above and beyond and back up my statement about if you have concerns about your investment then contact Markus and see how he can provide security. I brought up my concern with the negative feedback that Garrett had received and Markus agreed to ship all 5 mertensi to Garrett and then Garrett to me without any deposit. I was to pay Markus directly through wire transfer within 48 hours of me receiving the animals. If this doesn't express or give Markus a good guy credit then I don't know what would. My mertensi arrived Thursday before last to Garrett and Garrett immediately contacted me saying he had them. This past Tuesday Garrett shipped them to me for which I picked up on Wednesday at the Fed Ex hub. At this point I had not shelled out one single penny. Markus kept up his end of the bargain and I get up with mine by sending payment directly to Markus within 48 hours. As for Garrett my experience was limited but went exactly as planned. I don't condone illegal smuggling of animals and follow proper practices in obtaining animals for my hobby. I do not know why Garrett decided to post the monitors that were a transaction between Markus and I as animals for sale and in fact sold other than elicit a future sales potential for himself. I can't say I blame him for that but it was incorrectly handled as he should of posted he assisted in bringing in animals for a person (me) who were sold by a friend in Germany (Markus) but was trying to market future sales for himself. I did not think it was appropriate to share all these details as Markus is a good person and someone might take advantage of him shipping animals without collateral. When I realized where this good guy thread was heading I tried politefully and professionally to withdraw and not share Markus' business but it's a shame that someone has to suffer and have scammer posts tagged onto any ad he posts. I'm sure the clouds have been opened now and the rain of crap is fixing to fall on me but the truth should never be judged as these are all facts. Markus has many opportunities and resources here for which his other counterparts would and should feel intimidated for fear of people hijacking the ad or post with unfair feedback. I will continue to purchase animals from Markus and suggest others try to separate the negative feedback of Garrett from Markus and draw your own opinion of Markus based on "your own personal experience once you've had a financial interaction with him".

I'm curious. Could you post the. legal documents needed to not only prove the animals were sent to you legally, but also documents that they were obtained legally in advance of the transaction. Thanks in advance. And for the record, my questions are in no way intended to be a reflection on the OP.

This post gets right to the heart of the matter. People won't trust the "ability to secure" their investment if Garrett is involved. No reflection on you Ryan. I'm glad you are a satisfied customer. Your satisfaction is noted, as is another's dissatisfaction is noted. You are happy. Mike is not.
