Re: Gecko Keepers Beware?
I read all of Joe's posts on the boy and see nothing wrong with him, except for the fact he was defedning himself when someone decided to say something about karma...
Although Edclark did seem to have a more professional approach than someone else who said something to Joe...

Thats an assumption that he is insane. He could probably give a damn about what people think about him for what he does. We all have out oppinions. Some people in the ball market say he is bad for what he did, some say he isn't.
Its alot like the venomoid deal. Some people say venomoids are bad and some think otherwise. We can all take sides on an argument and hold grudges but just because what we think doesn't mean it is true

No-no, I never said he was insane or whatever. Just responded to someone who said he seemed passionate abotu his work and I just had to say "even insane peopel are passionate about their work.. even if its insane or sickly" But I do not know the man. Were you the one I said it to? lol
Re: Gecko Keepers Beware?
OK,I read the whole thread on fauna:eek: .I was borderline positive i would never deal with MKR after there slam on the ball python industry at that time.Now i will never purchase anything ever from them even if its something i really want.Joe Capone is a blabbering nutcase who is totaly in love with himself that its scary :eek: .I do not think its right to rip anyone off, but like its said that Karma goes around and comes around;) .As i was reading the thread i was doing great at understanding Joe,until post 9.After this post he lost it!! It is very obvious he is in the Industry for the MONEY and that is it!! The blabbering about the TV show made no sense at all.Like it was mentioned several times he was just advertising himself.Bpkid and Greenmonkey please do not take this personel,i understand how you feel you got a great deal from MKR.Later on when you raise up your snakes you purchased from MKR you will feel screwed over just like the rest who purchased from them.I guarentee the prices that MKR sells snakes at next season will be even lower then what you paid this year.This will make your future babies worth even less.If you are like myself i look forward to getting a fair price for my babies in order to purchase others that i am interested in.With MKR knocking down the fair market prices majority of the people with the same thoughts as myself may never see this happen :mad: .I would not be surprised if people refused to buy from someone that has MKR stock as there breeders.

I took no offense at all :) But the thing is, when piebalds were going for more than 10000, and you buy one then, and now the going price is around 4000, would you feel screwed? Not me because the price is going to go down eventually.
Now if I buy a 1300 dollar spider and produce spiders, they are still going to sell lower than what I paid for. I do not expect the same amount of money I put into that spider back. Actually, I expect less in the first year.
No offense joe :)

The prices on pieds slowly lowered.Not in a month like MKR did with the majoves and such.So you say that since you paid say $500 for a majove last month you will not be upset if MKR sells the majoves for $50 today? Think about it. There is a big differance to prices lowering as more of the morph are produced.Compared to the straight up cut throat crap MKR did!! Who knows if he will stop at doing this just once.
Re: Gecko Keepers Beware?
Sure I would be upset but they have a right to do whatever they want with their prices.

I choose to work with breeders who support my long-term goals, like Adam.
No matter how enticing the prices are that MKR has, reputation means a lot, and I would rather work with someone who has built a good reputation that can help me build mine as well. I also wonder how much selective breeding MKR does to ensure they produce the best looking specimens for that particular morph, rather than just mass producing for the sake of mass producing.
FWIW, the clowns I saw MKR advertise were not Grade A animals, certainly not one I'd choose to add to my collection.
