  1. And I didn’t put him on blast I merely stated a fact about something. Not lies or slander, a fact and there are some people on here who are jumping in to defend the course of action this man took and I applaud that. They must know something I don’t and was not made aware of by his actions. Here I have 138 posts now. Does that make my opinion valid now???
  2. Sorry hero with absolutely no life but to be on the internet !! I have more posts than that but lost my phone and couldn’t get my password back so I had to start a new name on here. Why don’t you just kiss off and try to do a little research before you start blindly blasting someone for not having a lot of posts. Some of us actually have a life and don’t revolve around the SOL world. And what does post count matter in the real world. Oh that’s right you think it matters in the internet world. I don’t think you pass the smell test Here let me make 4000 useless posts about stupid **** and half ass remarks and that will make as smart as you. Lol. Then maybe just maybe you will hopefully take me seriously. Because that is what I and a whole bunch of others in the real world hope happens
  3. I work very hard at making sure this doesn’t happen. If you can’t separate work from personal it makes for a very stressful life. It takes more of my time to stay mad and angry than it does to just chalk it up and say “ is what it is “ and go about my day.
  4. No I was actually with my wife and I had no idea it was the owner. I was very pleasant and cordial and introduced myself to him. It is when he told me his name was Brian that I told him I was the one called about the Grady a few weeks ago. He was very cordial and accommodating until he heard it was about that particular boat. I really don’t know or care what is going on with that boat. It is not my problem or dilemma. Actually if there is a problem with the boat or person he is brokering the boat for it should not end up to be my problem. I am sure he is a nice guy to those who know him. It seems that way by how a couple people are defending him. But I can tell you that is not how he came off to me or how he treated me. Save the “ you don’t know what’s going on “. My business is a relations nightmare with some of my clients and I never place any of my burdens onto them no matter how bad of a day I may be having. If you’re going to be doing business in the public eye I feel you should hold yourself to the highest standards and treat everyone equally, no matter the age or wealth of the individuals. If you can’t do that then be prepared to get a bad review every once in a while. Which I am sure he is
  5. Correct.!! I understand everyone makes mistakes but it is how you deal with those mistakes is how you are judged. Would have been totally different if he responded with a bit of genuine concern and not annoyance that I was still asking about the boat
  6. Guys it’s not the fact he didn’t return a call. It’s the fact he dismissed me like he was above talking to me. That’s the problem I have. And please save the dealing with rich people crap I own a successful business and I deal with rich customers all the time. I actually have keys to multiple homes on the water in buzzards bay and am I charge of maintaining homes so I know what is what. Maybe I did slip through the cracks but the way I was dismissed was no way to treat a potential customer who tried repeatedly to do business with him.
  7. Please don’t because then I would be real upset when he didn’t want to help me. Lol
  8. And again it was an expensive brand new boat not a blue collar workers kind of boat. Maybe if I wanted to spend 6 figures I would have been important to him and I have moved on. Why shouldn’t I use a public forum to let others know about my experience. What difference is it compared to leaving a review about his services ?? Do you go and tell people they are going on a little too much if they leave reviews about establishments ? Just wondering….
  9. I tried to talk to him but he decided not to look up at me, while I was standing there. I also felt there was no need to make a scene with someone who was sooo much more important than me. I really could use a hug now though
  10. Things change 2009 was 14 yrs ago. Lol. How about a recent experience ??
  11. You’re right he didn’t do those things. What he did do is treat me like I was insignificant and not worthy of his time or energy. I approached him at a boat show, in his booth, with no one around and asked him about a boat I had repeatedly tried to get some info on, and he just plain ignored me when he found out what boat I was inquiring about. Now if he didn’t shrug his shoulders and look back down at his phone like I didn’t matter to him. This post would never have been made. He may have treated you nicely because you know him. That surely is not the case with myself and a few others I have been contacted by. So I am not deleting anything. Oh and by the way since this post was put up. I have had 3 DM’s from other people about how they were treated badly also. Boat show season or not, this is not how you treat someone who has clearly gone out of their way to get some information on a boat they had listed on their website for sale.
  12. So I call them 6 times, then call a personal cell phone number of the owner and talk to him for 15 minutes then approach him again asking about the boat after being blown off. Does that sound like a tire kicker to you. Obviously you either have a personal relationship with him or are a broker yourself which is it ???
  13. They are a broker… do I need a broker to call a broker? . Even if they were a dealership. Do I need to hire a broker to call a dealership ?? I am a little new to this buying a boat thing. The meeting at hand was face to face at RISSA. Should I have approached him with a broker and let them talk ?
  14. I usually don’t have anything negative to say about a company but I felt the need to put this out to social media. There are going to be people who hate on me I understand that but really don’t care. They way I was dismissed by the owner of this company was ridiculous. I found a lower priced boat I was interested in a few weeks ago and it was listed by them. I placed a call to the office inquiring about the boat and talked to a lovely woman who could not answer any questions but gladly gave me the owners private cell number. I promptly called Brian and he immediately answered the phone and started talking with me. I asked him about the boat in question and he responded with, I don’t know anything about that boat but my son does, but unfortunately he is on the way to Florida to deliver a boat and is on the road. Brian told me he would give his son my number and he would give me a call back soon when he pulls over and isn’t driving. This is the last I heard from them until i saw them at the RISSA show this weekend. I saw Brian at his booth and went up to him he gladly shook my hand and asked how he could help me. I told him I had called about a particular boat a while ago and never heard a response back. Brian said “ I don’t know about that boat “ yup I understand that, that is why you told me your son was going to call me when he was done driving to florida. Oh yes. He replied. Well he just got back a little while ago. Again I asked why I wasn’t called back and the answer again was “ I don’t know about that boat “ my response was I guess you aren’t too interested in selling the boat then. He just shrugged and proceeded to look at the internet again on his phone I guess the moral of the story is unless you have a very expensive boat to purchase or sell through them they won’t be to interested in helping you out. What a horrible business model to use and horrible interaction I had with someone who was supposed to be a reputable broker
