Once again, buyers beware...this sale was a ripoff attempt!!

I'll let Wendy know, as she has all the emails saved between her and the seller, as well as paypal paying him. This would have came up last year had I been able to get to her sooner which is the only reason it's taking place now.

Port City Antiques= You better know what you're talking about when you make libelous comments about me. Just because some incompetent table mechanic doesn't know how to improvise an installation does not make me a liar. Anybody who responds in any negative way to that post will be subject to a libel suit.

Wow, awesome. What is next, telling SVB he does not know squat about how to play pool?

This guy would be a fun laugh if it was not at the expense of a person getting ripped off.
 
.....he told her on the phone it's no big deal!....REALLY????...what a tool this guy is!

Funny thing is, that is exactly what he told me when I had a beef with him...

He said..." No big deal...relax and have a drink..."

I won't post my response, not because I'm afraid of his dumb ass, I could care less about his empty threats, but because I'm ashamed of having lost my temper with such a dolt. I should have known better. But you can be damn sure that I didn't let him off the hook until he delivered what he promised.

Ahhh "dolt." One of my favorite words. It should be used more!
I posted on his FB page. If they are monitoring it, my posts should be gone by now.

I cannot even get onto the FB page. It does not even attempt to load and just goes to my own local page.

I also went to the above website for this place and was offered to buy the web address for $9:99. I was worried it might be broken or missing parts so I passed.
 
.. Negligent misrepresentation is yet another variation of fraud is recognized in Minnesota and it occurs where:

One who, in the course of his business, profession or employment, or in any other transaction in which he has a pecuniary interest, supplies false information for the guidance of others in their business transactions, is subject to liability for pecuniary loss caused to them by their justifiable reliance upon the information, if he fails to exercise reasonable care or competence in obtaining or communicating the information.

Florenzano v. Olson, 387 N.W.2d 168, 174 n. 3 (Minn.1986)

A successful plaintiff can recover damages equivalent to his “out-of-pocket” loss, that is “the difference between the actual value of the property received and the price paid for the property, along with any special damages naturally and proximately caused by the fraud prior to its discovery, including expenses incurred in mitigating the damages.” B.F. Goodrich Co. v. Mesabi Tire Co., Inc., 430 N.W.2d 180, 182 (Minn. 1988).

I tried to tell him...I know what I'm talking about, and does he really want to go down this road with me...then he hung up the phone on me:D
 
You may turn it over to a states attorney. It was a deal across state lines using mail, probably email and maybe phone calls. The guy could possible be charged with several kinds of fraud.
Sound crazy, don't be so sure. I have a friend who is sitting in prison right now for mail fraud breaking laws he didn't even know existed. Don't threaten the guy what ever you do but you may let him know how this is going to precede and he can decide what he wants to do to make it right.

Wendy is going to talk to the local Prosecutor here in Eureka to see if she can file deceptive business practice charges against Jerry for selling her something she didn't get, that's a felony charge, in which he can be extradited back to Eureka, CA to face the charges.
 
is this guy a member here? If so, I'd sure like to see what he has to say......anyone that relies on failbook gets no looks from me. I don't see how someone can rip another person off like this and look at themselves in the mirror every morning.
 
I was looking at an anniversary that he had on E-Bay about 5 years ago and it was listed as "free shipping". I inquired about it and he told me of course it's not free shipping. So I asked him why he has it listed like that when it wasn't true and he told me to go **** myself and quit harassing him.

Before I introduced myself to him, I asked him if he knew about AZB. His reply was that he did and does post in the for sale section. After I informed him as to who I was and what my call to him was about, that's when I told him that he needed to make this right with Wendy. In return, that's when he told me that if I bring this out on AZB that he'd sue me:thumbup:
 
Table

What a basket case table' he drove from MN to cali to sell a $1200 table? He knew he had her trapped. No center stretcher support!? That's a very important part of the GC. What if she would of gotten on here and asked how to move the table on carpet a few feet we all would assume that the stretcher is in place and proceed to explain how to jack the table up to place sliders or carts under the feet and push the table across the room...
If that would of been the case she could of been crushed, how was she or we supposed to know that the stretcher was missing...?

Good luck with that 1'

Latest update, I sent Jerry an email which reads as follows:

Really?...you clearly have NO idea who I am, your mistake Jerry!! Best thing you can do is make this bullshit right with Wendy, because you CAN'T win on this, and it'll cost you far more than what you got out of her for selling her the piece of shit Gold Crown PARTS as a Gold Crown 3.
 
This guy has no clue what he's getting into, here's his responce:

Why don't you tell the world how much you are charging her to install the table? Who is the rip off artist now? What a crook you are. I don't understand why you can't assemble a simple table like a Gold Crown. Parts are interchangeable and the table was in play in my pool hall just as it is. Any mechanic worth his salt can easily improvise any installation like this. You keep ranting about this and you will be sued for libel. You have solicited others to post your claim on the web site and you are overcharging a nice lady for installing her table. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And my reply to Jerry this morning:

Jerry, you have no clue what I'm doing to Wendy's table. First of all, I don't care about just setting up a pool table, my job goes way beyond that. I'm rebuilding the rails, installing Artemis K55 profile cushions, extending the rails to 4 1/2" corner pockets, 5" side pockets. Steel plate joining the slates together turning them into a one piece slate, adding the Diamond wedge leveling system so the slates can be leveled without ever having to take the table apart again. Then, I'm assembling the table and recovering it. As I said, you have no clue who I am, or what I'm able to perform. I will tell you this though, Diamond billiards is in business today because I designed their coin operated pool tables 14 years ago, based on my own coin operated pool table design that I created back in 1995. See, I'm no run of the mill table mechanic buddy, and when you use the word like "improvise" to set up a GC3...you're already saying you sent her a bunch of parts that don't match. And YOU want to sue me for libel?....what a joke, you're messing with the wrong person Jerry. Wendy is so upset about the bullshit you sold her, yesterday she was ready to just throw the whole damn table away, but I talked her into just letting me make the table right and everything would be fine, well...not for you that is. She's going to talk with the city Prosecutor today to see about filing criminal charges against you for "bait and switch" because she didn't get what she paid for, which was a GC3, and I can bring in 100 table mechanic's that would all say this table she bought is a bag of mixed parts, and NOT a GC3. She called and asked you to send the center stabilizer because you didn't deliver it with the parts you dropped off, and you want to be so damn cheap that you asked her if there's a Gray Hound bus station anywhere near her so you can send it by BUS? Jerry, you got OVER paid for this pile of parts, take some of that money and just SEND the god damn stabilizer by UPS, and make sure it's for a GC3 so it don't have to be painted or refinished!

If the guy knows about AZB and warned against posting on AZB, then there is almost no doubt that he has read this thread and is lurking.

You hear the sound of those crickets? Yep, that is him.
