Here's a post from 2004 that sounds so much like the recent Berk saga.

SEE THEY DONT HAVE A PROBLEM KEEPING MONEY THAT ISN`T THEIRS. IF YOU DO WANT A PANTERA THERE ARE PLENTY OF USED ONES FOR SALE OUT THERE. MY DAD ORDERED ONE 4 YRS AGO LONG BEFORE JO`S ACCIDENTS EVEN THEN THE WAIT WASN`T 5-6 MONTHS WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR A BOAT THAT LONG WHEN YOU CAN WALK INTO ANY DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HAVE ONE TOMOROW. CUSTOM BOAT MEANS MORE MONEY AND TIME FOR THE SAME PRODUCT. ONCE AGAIN IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY THINK REAL CAREFULLY ABOUT HOW MUCH CONTROL YOU HAVE WHEN JO HAS BOTH THE BOAT AND THE MONEY FOR MORE INFORMATION REFER TO THE BAD BUSINESS SECTION THE BOATS AREN`T BAD JUST THE GUYS BUILDING THEM REGARDS, JIMMY |
Still hijacking customers and people defend them...un frickin believable

I can't remember if Lost in Boston's situation was before or after Wildthing's but his was similar to Berks, he still pops in once in a while but I think he's given up, a beaten and defeated buyer where the legal system did little for him other than probably going broke from legal fees. He got a judgement but collected nothing or very little if I recall. The Killer Bee's fiasco was never played out here on OSO but there was controversy rumored on that one too. Others exist also but I don't see the point in going over those.
Wildthing's thread came under fire since this was heresy to the builder's flag wavers and was one of the first discussed on OSO and subsequently deleted. |
