Offshoreonly.com - another TRICK MARINE out there

I joined a car forum a couple months ago. They have a vendor (that I recently bought some small items from based on the board confidence) that may have disappeared.
He has:
-been in business 2-3 years
-built a reputation for taking care of customers
-reputation for selling cheaper than anyone else
-he mainly drop-ships product from the manufacturer
-lately people have been waiting for orders
-stories of a potential divorce have been mentioned

-2 weeks ago his phone/fax lines were disconnected
-2 weeks ago his website is down
------only message is that he is "on vacation"-----------

Does this sound like anyone we know????? :party-smiley-004:

When I told the story of Trick and pointed out the simialrites I got jumped..."give the guy a chance", "he's always done right by us", "He'll be back, you'll see", "stop bashing good vendors". The fact that I'm a newbie over there doesn't help. One guy in particular really jumped my azz...can't wait to post that HE will be covering all of this vendors debts!!!!! :)

Seems no amount of warning will influence people until they experience it themselves!!!
