MG Reptiles-not a good experience

[elevatethis]

That is really enlightening.

I'd like to see what those who defend him have to say now.

wow

[JLC]

i went to him because he is on this forum and i thought that i would support the bp.net community rather than go to a supplier that would get my order right and have the time to deal with me...

That was my reason for ordering from him

Just for the record...Matt Graybeal (justcage) is still a member of this site and welcome to post and participate whenever he wishes. But the business banners for MGReptiles that once ran are no longer a part of our advertising rotation.

I know, I have noticed this forum has been looking brighter!

What the heck is going on? I've never had a problem with Matt. Always ships and everything is in order.

Working in a position where I have to provide costs to retailers - this is a big NO NO. And a lesson for anyone who sells anything.

1. As the article says you cannot have ANY conversations with another seller about pricing
2. Worse than a conversation is an email trail
3. Worse than an email trail is having that email posted on a public website

The FTC penelty is $1,000,000 per offense and 10 years in prison(for the person) and a $10,000,000 fine for the business. The government is VERY serious about this type of activity. Such that my company makes me go through mandatory legal training on this topic alone.

Tim, i guess we learned our lesson about thinking about others...

Thanks, I read through some of that BS and didn't make head or tails of what was going on. That thread is HUGE! I appreciate you narrowing it down for me.

Incidentally, Matt's claim is that he has NO current customer service issues. The threads at Fauna and here would prove that false. The customer service issues remain and in my opinion, Matt has ventured off the reservation. The bottom line is that if he had corrected the customer service issues over a year ago when they first started popping up, he would still have a reputation beyond reproach. Now he has resulted to insults, threats and general crazy behavior.

NOTE: Take my comments as you will. According to Matt, I will soon be served with legal papers. As much as I believe this to be false, I presume that his claim would include slander, libel or both. Its going to be a long, hard, expensive road for him to prove that my comments over the last year (all of which can be read here or on Fauna) have contributed to a loss of sales for MG Reptiles. Especially in light of his comments of the last couple of days in which he clearly states that his business is better than ever.
