Gecko Keepers Beware?

I stopped reading the thread on fauna because Joe is giving me a headache with all his mumble garbage.Majority of his posts make no sense:rolleyes: .I think someone should send him a bottle of prozac as its obvious he has some mental condition and is not taking his meds.I have a suggestion,could we just let this thread die and not post anymore? Why should we bring our community down to Joes level by speaking of him here? If everyone agrees with me please do not post and let this thread vanish.:cool:

I can't tell you how many albino's I saw in daytona for 1,200 on saturday and I'll tell you this even the biggest baddest breeder's were selling their morph's for almost half the market price on sunday. Now tell me what the difference is between shipping a Bp or buying it at daytona on sunday when they are unloading them.

The difference is how business is being conducted Emilio! Were people intentionally selling the animals at Daytona in order to hurt others businesses? There is nothing wrong with lowering prices......EVERYTHING is wrong with the MKRs sales mentality and they are spreading it across the reptile industry like a plague...lets mass produce so we can get the animals out at 'puppy mill prices'.....trying to sell animals like cars is just wrong.....They are also trying to drive people out of this business because of personal issues. Is that the kinda people that you want to buy from? If so, you better hope you never step on their toes because they will turn on you in a heartbeat and will sell any of their customers out for money without hesitation.

If all other breeders lowered their prices to what MKRs is currently selling for.....MKRs would be out of business because the quality that non-mass-producers can offer is by far superior. Why would you buy from them for any reason other than because their animals are cheaper than everyone elses?

Not according to his video. If everyone lowered their price below his, he would lower the cost of his "product" to undercut everyone.

As it has been said, he is the Wal-mart of the reptile industry. He has the potential to put a lot of hard working people out of business, all for love of money. Will he be successful? most likely so, because people are always on the look out for the cheapest, best looking snake, even if it means going through crappy service to save a few hundred bucks.

It's his attitude towards everything that just pisses me off. geez.

Does anyone even know who this Joe Capone person is for sure? I read through his posts over at the other site, he claims to have a tv show and yada yada yada... yet I could not find one listing for a tv show with this guy in it, heck, I googled his name out of OK, and still came up with nothing..but old info on the actual gangster Capone....

Is this his real name? (Joe Capone)

Joe Capone is one half of Morph King Reptiles. A weasely former car salesman that wants to put everyone out of business in the Ball Python world and now is threatening to do the same with Leopard Geckos. Egomaniac, lunatic, god complex. Yeah, that about describes him.

But, is Joe Capone his real name? Does he really have a tv show? I know goofy question, but since he brought it up, I am curious as to why someone who supposedly has a tv show would talk like he does muchless treat others as he has demonstrated as of now.

The tv show is on another forum. It's more of a "web T.V. show"

I just wonder why ed clark couldn't take his insults to PM with mr. Capone instead of hijacking his thread. THE GUY GOT RIPPED OFF 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS and all you did was sit there and argue with him about his morals and whatnot. And if I am not mistaken, you were the one that was happy about him getting ripped off.

"joe, so happy to see that you got screwed for 10 k."

I will never do business with a person who is happy someone got screwed for EVEN 1k. Let alone 10k.

I mean, I know this is the one and only chance to talk to him about it, but a PM would have been better.

Yet you would do business with Joe who openly states that he will put people's companies out of business? Can you explain that to me because I am having trouble with that logic?

It just seems to me that not feeling sorry for someone because they lost 10k and trying to take away someone's ability to earn a living are BOTH horrible things to do. Why should they be treated differently?

Do you mind showing me anywhere on that thread where he says he wants to put people out of business??? I searched on that thread for " out of business" and it filtered my results to just "business".

Ok, here's my last commnet on this... I'm am not replying to this anymore...

I hope he gets his money back, just as I would with anyone else in this industry getting ripped off by thiefs who do not send what is paid for....
