As much of a d!ck move it is by Dmaxx, I think it is more of the sellers lack of integrity. If it wasn't Dmaxx it would've been somebody else........

I don't know either duramax or Full Whack (feel bad that he lost the boat he wanted though), but if I were to speculate. I think it probably went down like this...

... buyer 1 gives deposit but seller not convinced buyer 1 is going to see it through... Buyer 2 comes along all hot and heavy willing to give deposit, sight unseen.. Seller takes deposit from buyer 2 to "guarantee" a sale figuring if buyer 1 walks, he still has buyer 2 in hand and if buyer 1 closes deal, then can give buyer 2's money back. Hopefully I'm right and Full Whack gets his money back...

I agree !

I feel bad for fullwack I was going to look at it for him as we talked about his concerns....after three calls to the dealer they said they would call me but never did...so contacted the buyer told him what happened...it sucks how this went down but maybe he is better off... I wouldn't by sh.t from that marina that s for sure....

Sounds like he is proud to have tried at this point of taking FW's deal. Then does buy the boat out from under.

The forums have not been kind to Duramax315. I get it, he is eager but making these moves like he did just wont sit well with a tight community. To make money flipping a boat you will need to have connections with people to get parts fast and affordable. I doubt people will facilitate parts or cut him a deal on a reputation that is from these forums.. Found or unfound. Fair or not fair.. Thats just the way it is some times.

showed up with cash on saturday, guy pissed me off and i drove 6 hours to find the boat not in the condition i thought it was. drove home and was pissed i didnt buy it so i drove back on monday and made it happen... seller said he sent the deposit back to the guy. i hope he did, but business is business. cool fact though, boat was originally owned by the famous mob gambino family. and has 420hp 454 ci motors stroked to a 496..

Well, the ad does state "1st come, 1st serve". Just not sure how/or better yet...why, the deposit thing, and a 'non refundable' one at that. Seems like a deposit means nothing more than having your money tied up in the mean time, not a guarantee it will be there when you show up to get it. Eitherway, good luck to both dmax on his purchase and FW on his new search

I am getting tired of people using the phrase "business is business" as an excuse to act like an ass and feel good or proud of the actions! I am not a liberal ***** but feel that society is not better for this attitude. I hope "full whack" gets his deposit back and if not hope he enlightens us as to who the marina is so we can all call and voice our opinion. Duradik315 is not setting the stage for a trusting potential consumer.

What you did to Full Whack was a "not cool fact". It's a bummer that people like you are out there taking advantage of others. jsbrowni is right - saying "business-is-business" is-bs. It was pretty clear from Full Whack's posts on this thread that he fully intended to buy the boat. You knew that and STILL pulled it out from under him. You can still make this right by offering it to Full Whack for the same price. Everyone on this forum will use you as an example of how to make a wrong right!

Woww!!!......very impressed!!
