I Need To Vent!
 

Hello all-

So most of you know that I bought a 382 in the last couple of months. The broker (www.beavboats.com) that was in the middle of the deal became gready and was raising the price of the boat by 10K so he would make a big profit plus his 10%. I didn't fall for it and made a deal with the owner direct. Well tonight i was looking at traderonline and saw my boat for sale! It is not for sale. I just love it and would not sell! so I emailed him. He pulled the add finally after I called him and threatened legal action. So if you are looking at any boat that is being sold by www.beavboats.com don't even try. I would post here on OSO and hopefully one of us know the owner! this way you will not have to deal with this A$$ HOLE! Thanks for listening! I feel better! Now time to enjoy the boat!

Thanks
Don

Oh, the Beav has a long and storied history here on OSO. Just do a search on Beav boats and you'll see a number of good readin' threads on this piece of garbage....

What can we do to end his company as a broker?

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

That's one of the benefits on this web site!!!..is being able to search or start a tread asking about a person or a business.


You got lucky :D

Congrats on the new boat. Thats the first Formula I have seen in a while with graphics that look good! Usually pretty fugly IMO.... nice buy!

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

Lookin good, Don! That must have been a shock to your system when you saw it for sale. :eek:

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

1, Don't buy anything from him.
2, Don't get to worked up over him still listing it. He ain't got it, so he can't sell it.
Why would he pay to list a boat for sale that he doesn't have?

good ol beav... f in moron

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

If no one buys from him, he'll be gone soon enough...good riddance!

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

The dealer I bought my boat from last august still has it for sale on boat trader, and keeps renewing the ad. I emailed them and asked them how much they wanted for my boat . no responce :D

The old "bait and switch".

"Oh, sorry, I just sold that one yesterday, I do have a great deal on a........................"

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

Beav had my boat listed for about 5 years after I bought it from a private individual who never even listed it thru Beav. While we owned it, I would occasionally call Beav to see how much he wanted for it ... answer was always the same "send me a deposit to show that you are serious and I'll contact the owner". He didn't even have a clue who the owner was (me!). I have since sold that boat to a good friend, and occasionally I still see it listed by the Beav. All that he wanted was a deposit ... good luck trying to get that back! Its a real shame there are people like him allowed to exist. :mad:

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

Gee Don sounds like the Beav is trying to give you the bussiness.....

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

What do you mean by that sir? :D

Re: I Need To Vent!

Re: I Need To Vent!

Re: I Need To Vent!
 

Hopefully what goes around cumz around!! :mad:

This thread is hilarious to me. A year or so ago a buddy of mine who is new to boating was looking at an 18 ft Searay that he saw listed on some website, and wanted me to call to get more details since he didnt know what questions to ask. It was listed as being brokered by Beav. I didnt know anything about him at the time, but when I called, the guy knew absolutly nothing about the boat, and only had the HIN, and said the boat was in Minnesota. To get more info, he wanted my buddy to drop a 20% deposit on it, before we knew anything about the boat. He basically made it sound as if he was Gods great gift to the boating world, and we'd be crazy to look elsewhere. I told my buddy to stay away from this azz clown, and keep looking. Well, he kept looking, and came across the same boat listed for sale on Yahoo, by owner. We called the guy up, and he had no idea who Beav boats was. Well, he ended up buying the boat from the real owner, so it all worked out, but thats my dealings with the Beav.
