"Thanks for having the guts to speak up about the situation on the 1950 Power Wagon. I have been burned several times, after buying a truck out of the Forum adds and even called Joe to see if he could do anything about tightening it up. The worst case, was a truck I bought in Missouri. The jerk demanded I pay with pay pal even though the truck was not sold on e bay.I did so but only after I had him fax me a bill of sale, a copy of the title and a written committment to help load the truck when a friend of mine arrived to pick it up 48 hours later. Sure enough, before I could get the truck picked up, someone offered a little more and the guy's integrity sold to the highest bidder. To add insult to injury, he refunded my money after deducting the pay pal fees. The current Forum add lowers the bar for forum activity as far as I am concerned and it will only get harder to use the forum photo adds as a viable marketplace for this hobby. I would join in trying to work with you or others in an effort to put some standards on sales on the forum if Joe was willing."..............
this is someone concerned who emailed me off foreum that is also gtting turn off on this foreum..
my reply:
was that on the www,g503.com foreum,, there is a section for foreum sales and auction sales,,, if a auction sale get put in the wrong place,, it gets moved..
yes i agree, it should say BEST OFFER OVER 22,500,, but SHOULD be sold for stated asking price,,,, that's what he wanted for it..??? right? or was this an error on the foreums director, as we have seen them?? i dont think so, as he stated he's had so much calls,, So, i'll ask for more,, this is bad for this foreum and may get ugly,, pull the add!! give him the $25 dollar listing fee penlty!! make him relist... ..
