I'm surprised no one from mud found the auction.

The guy you’re talking about that bought it all joined ‘Mud and had posted several threads advertising the eBay ads months ago. There were threads posted by others also.

I meant the liquidation auction where it was bought... Didn't find those at first when I first looked.

Wtf are you on about? Thats what I said. I spoke to the seller who bought it all, very nice guy. He sold the majority already, hence some "remenants" are still on ebay...
I'm surprised no one from mud found the auction. The guy who bought it all runs a generator company and happened to find the lot at an auction.

I bought a few items last month when a friend posted it on FB. Yeah nice guy, and fast shipping

Just catching up on this. For the record. I was banned from the group, but not after I got a few replies in. The two admins who were supporting Joey (infact were talking down about the people who were taken advantage of) have been added to my list of people who will have registrations cancelled at Cruise Moab.

Doing gods work!

your cancelling people from Cruise Moab because they are friends with someone you don't like? I am not following you?......

I think you read that wrong, he said the admins were talking down to the people who were taken advantage of, I didn't read anything about being friends with someone he didn't like.
I'm 100% ok with cancelling some bullies from cruise Moab, that's just some toxic b.s. that nobody needs.

What’s Cruise Moab? I’m out there every March

As a long time member surely you must know the situation with W.E.
And how the administrators on Facebook handled it. Shame on them.
IMO they should be band.
Lots of good folks did not make registration !

yes I know of it, I don't condone anything joey did especially stealing money from people but IMO if you are in charge of registratons at an event like Cruise Moab and cancelling peoples registration because you have a personal beef with them that's just childish and of poor form. I hope I am misunderstanding the prior post.

I think your taking it out of context
My last post on the subject !

I didn’t actually cancel anyone. I have a personal list of people who have done things like ripping off members of the community. This year, no one on said list actually registered, so I had no reason to bring it up with the committee. Had anyone actually signed up, I wouldn’t straight ban them, but I would bring up why we as a committee might want to consider it. Throughout the years, I think we have only actually asked 3 people not to come back, and they were all for good reason.

I can understand that if it is done in a democratic way via a committee. Apologies for my misunderstanding.

I realized I never received parts from wits' end this morning from two orders back in March. A few hundred bucks, tried to dispute it with my credit card company and unfortunately I am out of the date range of disputes.

A few hundred dollars doesn't compare to the thousands that others are out of pocket.

Same with me. I was shorted some knuckle studs and some misc parts 1.5 years ago. Lesson learned.

This also appears to be a new venture for him:

Interesting he is staying completely away from Land Cruisers.

Registered in wife’s name, same address as the others.

To follow up on this, it looks like this company is now in the Land Cruiser business, as they make seat brackets for the 40, 60, 70 & 100 Series Land Cruisers. 100 Series Land Cruiser Scheel-Man seat packages start at just over $3K/seat.

 

[NeverFinis]

Looks like that business is failing as well.

What's the connection to Romero? Hard to believe there are many customers willing to plunk down that much money for a seat upgrade.

An unfortunate situation especially when new owners come in all the time and don’t know what they don’t know. Back when Mud was the hub, the community helped raise red flags more effectively; now the conversation is scattered across social media platforms, where these vendors have lines in the water and market freely. I met a guy recently who bought from a vendor mentioned in this section multiple times with no idea of the vendors track record and reached out asking if I knew anything about them. That’s the whole play. They don’t need the entire community, just a steady trickle of new, unsuspecting people. That’s how a con sustains itself: avoid the informed, target the uninitiated. Add in people who will continue defending a vendor who has a documented history of fraud, and it’s easy to see how confusion keeps the cycle going.
