I brought a chipper off this site from New Jersey, and got it sent all the way to little New Zealand, Turned out it was 100% but if I wasnt willing to trust someone like that it would have been 2 years before I would have been able to get my first chipper.

Most people are good and trustworthy, you cant live life on the defensive, you might get hit occationally, but lifes to short to be to careful.

The plane ticket for you would have been prohibitive, but contacting someone in the NJ area to act as advocate would have been good insurance.

I have a buddy/client who has bought all is stuff used off the national market. He sends a mechanic out to do a once over on the gear, and get serial numbers and the like.

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

Does this guy have a real shop or is he just a crack head using a library computer?
He's going to say buyer remorse and deny the pictures were what he sent you. Unfortunately this will probably end up being an expensive learnig experience for you. Best case senerio, he gives your money back and sells it to the next sucker.
Ten grand, I'd be driving up there to let him know what I think of his business in person.

One thing he should have told you is that you can not get many parts for those old eagle lifts.

If it looks too good to be true...

So, I was just on ebay checking out stump grinders and ran across this listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vermeer-SC-1102...ryZ63924QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Funny thing is, I'm reading the info on it and thinking, "Wow, the price on this looks really really reasonable for the machine that's being described. This could be way too good to be true!"

Then, I saw who's selling it...

Need I or gr8Scott72 remind you of our dealings with this guy? He does a great job of making junk look like jewels. My prediction is this thing really has about 3000 actual hours on it, a poor paint job that looks good from a distance but bad up close, and a whole lot of things wrong with it. Harv's definition of 'runs good' is a whole lot different than mine! Notice, no close-up photos.

As the saying goes, "If it looks too good to be true...

Well, what's to keep someone from still screwing you over even if you send someone to look at it. I mean, they could still just send a different unit if you're having it shipped.

I guess the only way to completely avoid this is to pick it up in person.

lol, my Rayco 1625 that Harv sold me "like new, under 100 hours" actually had a leaf INSIDE the valve cover when I took it off.

Indeed, strike while the iron is hot. He also would be getting a call from my attorney. Like it or not, the pressure needs to be applied. No real action condones this behavior as much as anything. My goal would be my money back plus court costs plus something for my time, loss of business, and distress if it went that far.

Whatever the case, you can't let it go. Hopefully, the pressure will get you the money back.

The other day I bought a boesch starter for the 2.9 deutz in my former chuck n duck. The only place I could find it was through an automotive electronics specialist in Champaign, IL.

The 'new' starter didn't work and sounded terrible when engaged. He wasn't going to take it back, saying I had done something to it, but if it checked out fine, he'd let me know. To make a long story short I pushed the issue all the way into the back shop. I didn't make a scene, but I was firm and appealed my case.

The more I started making sense to him and his assistant the more they just wanted to get me my money back.

I've worked customer service and sales, so I know where and how to push a bit to make things right.

I didn't wait either; I was in his place of business first thing the next morning in person.

Don't ask me what it is about the human psyche, but things are one way over the phone, something altogether different in person. That I have learned, which is why I didn't call over that starter.

Go in there mano y mano and look him in the eye and demand your money back.....you have every right!

 

[corndogg]

Haha my bad! just a typo! I got the number and i called them and they are lookin into it. I need some more websites to post this. I want anybody and everybody to hear my story and no what happens with bob tressler and worldwide construction equipment.

Texas, if you post a letter to him describing the incident and what you think of it we could all copy it and bomb him with e-mails from all of our different addresses. We'd have him reading through and deleting for hours! It's the least we could do. Don't let him get his mind off of it for five minutes. Give him an inch and he'll take a mile. When he's got a mile he'll be gone. Got to get the pressure on NOW!

 

[corndogg]

I sent him a little note from my spam e-mail account. Hope it wasn't too extreme, I get a little heated sometimes.

Hey a**hole I just heard how you sent a crappy lift down to a guy in Texas. You better know who I'm talking about, if you don't than how many bad deals have you done in the past month? How do you sleep? Better get up and check the locks again. What was that noise? What does you're wife think of you, what would your kids say? You're a crook and you'll get what's comin' to ya. Ripping people off is what stupid thugs do. It's not that hard to run a good business. You should be living underwater.

What do ya think?

Haha ya'll are crazy as hell if ya'll think im not gonna tell the world about my expeirence!!! (no offense fatguy)

I never said "don't tell". I just said be careful... You can be COMPLETELY in the right, but a few misplaced modifiers or threats can end up costing you LOTS in legal fees to prove you are right. That sort of eats up what you are trying to recover.

Damn corndogg....wouldnt want to Pizz you off!! But nicely said & deservingly too!!

+1 what 2fatguys said. Nothing wrong with spreading the FACTS of the situation - just be careful about how you word things so some guy who's already ripping you off doesn't pull you into a drawn-out libel suit that costs you your house to defend in attorney fees. You may be right, he may be wrong but, my general advice is to obstain from directly telling anyone NEVER to do business with a certain business; rather, give us the facts of your ordeal and we all have brains enough to decide for ourselves who to be weary of.

I'm certainly a poor one to be giving this advice after using this forum to repeatedly beat up on the guy who screwed me and gr8scott72 over. However, i don't believe I ever told anyone to NEVER do business with harv's sales - I believe I've just made it quite clear that anyone who chooses to do business with him had better make a site visit to inspect whatever he is thinking about buying. Don't take his word on it.

Corndogg,

Down boy. You might think you're helping the situation but, at this stage, you could inadvertantly hinder treemonkey's situation. From a legal perspective, it might be better to let him handle things from his end unless he asks for our help. JMO

+1 on that comment! Anyone else getting involved only provides evidence of malicious conduct. We ALL know what needs to happen... but let's at least give him a chance to recoup his loss before we turn into a-holes for him... It would suck for a well meaning member here to say something that prevents the rightful reversal of the transaction.

True, but it could be done in a very professional way, if and when done. If all else fails and TreeMonkey wants the help, I'll write a letter.

I wanted to call them this morning and ask around, but you are right I didn't want to make matters worse if something can be otherwise salvaged.

 

[treemandan]

Trust and faith in the human race? I have plenty. I trust that I will have to watch my back every second and I have faith that someone will try to lay some crap on me. Don't worry, I am not as cold hearted as I might sound.
In fact if you have an address for the guy there is a chance "we" might be able to do something for you. How's that for a helping hand?
Which came first? the sucker or the con man?
