He's clearly that awesome!....And he can smuggle likes nobody's business too! How does President Paul Becker sound, hmmmmmmm? He's just clearly the best at everything, just read it on his posts! Too funny!
Help moderators! These guys are being mean to me!! I commented because I thought it was funny, not that I'm worried about you being competition. I'm a breeder, I sell U.S. bred tarantulas, what do you do Paul, peddle tarantulas? I could beat your prices any day of the week, but I don't because I care about the tarantulas, and don't believe in devaluing them to keep up with people like you that smuggled their way to the top. You've been banned by two other websites for your activities, NOT for what YOUR competitors have done to you. YOU did this! I had tarantulas as a kid too, does that mean I should change my established date to the 70's!? I know you'd like to think you make a big impact on dealers like me, but you don't. I really don't give a crap what you do, stay, go, it doesn't matter to me, because eventually your customers will come to, and see that your prices and butt-kissing isn't enought to justify the measures you've taken to get your business to this point.
Paul,
Just out of curiosity, why hasn't Becker's old review thread been merged with his "new" one? I've seen other individuals/businesses have two review threads that were quickly merged. With all that we have found about this past year about Becker's smuggling activities from the thread referenced below, I think merging the two review threads would be a valuable for hobbyists to know about in one thread.
A "mistake"???!!!???? You deliberately smuggled. Not once, but several times! It's not simply a mistake. How many more lies will you tell? What are you going to do next month when more of your lies are made public and how you threw everybody under the bus? Quit pointing fingers at everybody else for your smuggling, not mistakes, YOUR smuggling activities! This crap about you pricing stuff and how you are America's favorite dealer is such <edit>. You smuggled stock to put up those prices!
Please do that, possibly new career that don't involved import/export animals
Hey Paul, I have a family to feed too! I have two boys age 14 and 5, so don't go there. It's only princepal that I commented. I worked my ass off to get where I'm at, and it wasn't by gouging my customers, or smuggling. You can gouge gas, and maybe bread, but tarantulas? Tarantulas are one of the cheapest exotic animals in the industry, and a luxury. You can't gouge a luxury. You've gone from being real cocky to I just want to make a living. Shut the hell up Paul! What do you think all of us dealers are doing in this economy? It ain't worrying about you and your prices. We have our own businesses to deal with. You've never seen me move my prices down because of yours? Never. How do you get that we are jumping on you because your business is so awesome, and were all suffering from it? That's pathetic, and in your own mind. Don't you think if I was so into keeping up with you, I'd post like everyday like you? Dude, I posted last time my list a month or so ago on this board. Doesn't sound like the desperate measures your talking about. The fact is I don't feel I need to keep throwing my list into the faces of my customers just so they get numb to it. You asked for all this by putting your little disclaimers on your site about how other dealers are trying to take advantage of you (the customer) with their price gouging. That's personal man! None of any other dealers have stooped to the levels of that, but it's even more disturbing coming from somebody that really should shut up because of the recent past behavior! But NO, you had to shove it in eveybody's faces. I don't ever have to result in exposing any of my competitors for any of their weaknesses, because I can run on my own steam, even if that means I loose a sale. I may not agree with all the dealers, and their prices etc., but there is a level of respect to have amongst each other, because this is a hard business, and I know how they feel. Your the only one gone off the rails, and resulted in trying to discredit the other dealers for your gain. Could you for gods sake try a dose of humility? You need to start wearing somebody else's shoes, and you need to start with Sven's. After all you are the one that made him wear them for 6 months.
If it is allowed by Admins/MODs, may I inquire as to what those two sites are?
Whether it's allowed or not, that info is very easy to find, and at this point, I don't want to be accused of picking on anybody.
Awesome idea! Run with it. Start it up and you will have plenty of posts for that thread after what we have read in those court documents.
Quite frankly, I couldn't be bothered...this was merely a suggestion to the OP and everyone who agrees with him/her. I have much better things to do than dig up dirt on someone I don't even know
