Don't be fooled!!
 
If you have seen this ad http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/boa/4505568633.html don't be fooled into thinking it's leget and by no means send a deposit.
His name is Gavin and when I finally catch up to him he'll be wearing a bolster around his neck!

Details???

It's simple............made contact & seemed asured but got fooled..............the short of it is sent $100 deposit to make a pair of bolsters
There's another OSO member right now who sent a far bigger deposit............wish him well. I know where this prick GAVIN lives and
will interrupt his day pretty soon!

Update!!.................It took less than 24 hrs since this "complaint to beware" was posted did I receive a phone call today from Gavin (Something he would not do for 3 months prior) I didn't want to go ahead and slam somebody publicly, but I had no choice nor did I want to have a comfrontation but gladly it didn't have to go that far and I'm happy it didn't.

The support from OSO members and the press it receives (positive or negative) when reading such stuff goes pretty far into the channels of the marine world. A crook would still be MIA but a person (such as Gavin) owes up to a mistake and makes contact (with me) to work out a deal and move ahead.....I have now a verbal agreement based on a time frame to deliver a set of Bolsters within a reasonable time..........I will retract eveything here if the deal gets done in a timely manner, but we shall see!.........Thanks to all the OSO members for the great feedback and suport!!...............................Scippy

Hope it all works out for you guys Pete.

No room in the boating community for shenanigans.

well on the flip side, I think thats the same guy I delt with a few years ago on a set of bolsters, his name was gavin from PA and my deal was fine, did a nice set of seats for me, also sent him my old rear seat cover, he made a new one to match and had him add 6" to it as I was moving rear seat forward for blower drive clearance, not sure whats up hear but just throwing that out there...Rob
