Anybody know this guy?
I hate writing these types of posts but sometimes it does pay off.

I do this because this experience is just one more nail in the coffin of the BBLLADES Professional Propeller test prop program. As many of you know BBLADES offers a test propeller program that allows you to test/try before you buy. It is a awesome program for everyone who partakes in it. You can test OB, sterndrive and #6 propellers for a small fee for 15 days. You learn, we learn. You get what you want and need and BBLADES sells product. Win/win. Of course a program of this magnatude requires a stubstantial amount of capital!

Ocasionally we get a deadbeat like Bob (the price is wrong) Barker to steal from us.
In this case, Bob Barker from Knoxville, IL broke a prop shaft and lost a new Bravo 1 propeller. This in itself is a bummer for everyone. However, Bob decided he didn't want to pay for the BBLADES product he lost. Bravo 1 propellers are over $700 m.r.s.p. and we sell them for $569.
Bob decided since he lost the prop (so he says), he should only have to pay my cost on the propeller. I don't know where that logic came from. Maybe watching Let's Make a Deal?
After trying to explain my sorrow for the loss, I explained we are still a business and I need to feed my family too. I did cave and told Bob Barker I would knock off some $ and he needed to pay $509 for the BBLADES property he supposedly lost.

This folks was in July 2012. I have since recieved $300 of a $509 bill. My phone calls have been avoided and not returned since Set. 2012.

I understand we are only talking about $209 but is more than that. We offer a service that could be stopped if the few losers a year don't step up and pay their bills. Believe me, this is a smaller version of some other issues that have occured.

So, if you know Bob Barker of Knoxville, IL. Tell him he is a loser and he should pay his bills. Also, the long story I bought about his honosty and needing time to pay is now just a big lie.

Sorry to hear that.

Locally we have a prop shop that will do the same, but they do a "pre-authorization" against your credit card for the full retail price and you have 20 days in which to return them in the same condition you got em in or your own em.

shame on bob he is at fault on this he should step up to the plate pay what he owes you !!!!!!!!
as a buisness owner myself it sucks when you have to chase people for money

That sucks Brett. You have a great program that I've used myself a couple times. I never understand why there are so many crooks in this industry, why burn a bridge over a few hundred dollars??

when i tried props from bblades,i had to give my credit card number,it only takes a few scammers to screw it up for us honest ones.brett,i hope he makes it right with you.

He cancelled his credit card............

I've been in this industry for a long time professionally and personally. I also wonder why there are so many crooks. Man have I seen them come and go.


It's the allure on the selling end. Allure for the desire of the client.
It's the allure on the buying end. I'm a player.

Look for the guys that stand the test of time. These are the real deals.

Brett

Step up Bob, If I borrow a tool or equipment from someone and it gets broken I'm buying them a new one, it sucks but it's the right thing

was it for a formula 357 with.. like 700's or similar to that?

Very sad the values some people live by! I could go on for a long time about these kinda people. I hope you some how get your money from this guy Brett. You have been alot of help to me. Sucks when losers ruin it for the good people.
