cf685f Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 I ask the seller to take pictures this weekend of the truck and let me know the current condition of the truck, he did and we got even more excited to rescue the truck. I just received another email starting he decided to sell the truck to a friend.Well, I am alittle bent out of the frame because I have two non-refundable hotels booked, I have a non refundable deposit for a rented trailer to get the truck, I just bought all those parts/oil at NAPA and he has my deposit. Since its a family forum, I let you fill in the words that are in my head. I am out a bunch now, so I am going to have to eat it.If you all buy something from Rich Krett in New Castle, DE beware. I would suggest you buy it in person as a verbal handshake between FFs is worth nothing. He wont respond any more in email or by phone. His excuse in a one sentence email is that he didnt get my deposit quick enough. My response was you could have called, written, or let me know you needed it immediately besides you been emailing me pictures telling us you accepted our offer up to the day prior that email. I will keep you all posted on whether or not my deposit comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Sorry man. That is NOT a KooL story!I hope that something can be resolved. Sending more pictures and confirming the purchase and then backing out would make me jump in the car to go find him and chat about the situation.In my world, a deal is a deal.

fxfymn Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Bummer; Just remember what is meant to be is what will happen. There is a reason for everything, even if it takes a lifetime to find out what it is. In the meanwhile keep looking and if anyone knows of a B model for sale let Tim know.

cf685f Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Deposit arrived back in the mail this morning. Guess I will be moving on now, and I take fxfymn's advice. Beside it will just give me more play money for the SPAAMFAA national. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good to hear you received your deposit. It still does not make it right but it "hurts" less. As much as I hate waiting, fxfymn is right...something as good as or better will come along. Just be patient (easy for me to say).
