after weeks of bk help and me e mailing the owner calling from costa rica buying plane tickets
planing to pick up motorhome monday morning the sob e mailed me and said he sold it i want to
thank everyone on the bcm that helped me and was hoping to meet many of you on our 30 day
vacation but that dream is over depresed crown & wife
Crown,
Hate to hear that story.....I had a similar experience when I was first coach shopping. I had actually won the coach on eBay and someone else sent the guy an email and he sold it to them. He didn't care a hoot.
What goes around, comes around and I believe that people like that get whats coming to them eventually.
The good news is, I found the coach I have now, it was a better deal and I saw the other coach for sale a year later with a bad engine.
Sorry for you situation, it will all work out..........
Cliff
Sorry to hear that John!
Hope to meet you and your wife when you are able to come up next time, there will be a next time!

Cliff
John,
As I said in the email I sent you, IT AIN'T OVER!
Ask anyone on this board when I get PO'd people hear me loud and clear! I'm going over to said SCUMBAG SOB's house on Monday and if it's still there you'll hear me cussing him all the way down in Costa Rica! Shoot they've heard me in FL over less BS in TN! ;)
;D BK ;D
PS I hope he calls the cops on me, my cousin is a local sheriffs deputy and will be on duty when I plan to go over there! ;) (who ya gonna call?)
what ya looking for? 100 miles from Louisville..know of couple s&s here for sale..how much what size? Bob
bob have looked at all kinds from classic gmc moterhomes to the class c that i was going to get monday just needed to get away
and was trying to go to the tbr eagle rally & christys hicks rally and meet and make friends with a bunch of bus nuts after had planes
to visit white eagle to see tom & fran again and go see wildbob 24 and just goof off then store it and fly back for jacks rally let me
known what you saw in moterhomes john
bk thanks for all your help but dont get in trouble over this i would not buy it now for any price he can stick it where the sun dont shine
john
looks like a lot around 8 grand ..93 mini winnie 27 ft class C..to much?
Just playing Devils advocate here. Did the seller know you bought tickets and were on your way, making plans, etc..?? If they did, then they really are SOB's. If however, you had not made it 100% clear to them your intentions, that you were onyour way, then the problem is really your own, and no one else's. Curious if you made a deposit to hold it, or if they verbally told you they would hold it for you.
Even though your in Costa Rica, you may be able to make a claim against them for damages. I would imagine airline tickets to the US are quite expensive, especially if they are non-refundable. But if you didnt make a deposit, or have a verbal agreement on tape, you probably wont get very far. Sorry for the trouble.
I will say though, Bus shopping is a lot different than anything I have ever tried to buy. Sellers act like locals are going to beat their door down to buy it, hard to get them to send pics, hard to get them to give details, they ALL have a rebuilt engine without paperwork or a new clucth without same. Its really a crazy market.
I wish you luck, hope your dreasms do come true.

if was real clear a week ago i told him i would fly up this weekend and would send him flight imfo as far as payment
he made it very clear he wanted cash only and all at once he even emailed me yesterday [as bk told me i need a bill
of sale for plates] that he had someone to do the bill of sale and he had to find the title that it was somewhere in the
house so many e mail from last week till today plus bk went twice to his house and he had bk bisnesse card and could
call bk he was 15 miles away so yes i think all things where very clear john
update about sob just checked cragislist and tues afternoon he relisted it at a lower price and new pictures i never saw
and i told him monday i was flying up john
This all does suck! Not to take up for the seller but all the out of the country scams now days its hard to wait on a buyer. If it's not to far you need to check this place out. It has everything and they will tell you up front if any problems. http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/ (http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/)
john,
i'm so sorry you keep getting burned by jerks. i'm with BK-someone that would make a deal and then sell it out from under you at the last minute, needs his nuts in a cracker for a while. or just cut his fingers off so he can't use craig's.
at this point, fly up anyway, rent a car, stay in a hotel, go to the bus rally. if you stay in the nice but inexpensive hotels, you might even save money between cost of the rv and the diesel to go in it versus driving a car.
remember the real benefit of the trip. Relax and see the countryside (and us).
by the way, i have a friend whose talking about retiring to Costa Rica in a couple years. he'd really appreciate if you can send me any tips for him to watch out for or look for in moving to CR.
hi tom the whole point of the rv was to be a part of the rally when we went to jacks rally we had fun but coming & going all the time
to eat sleep ect was not the same we had no chairs plus princessa [our dog] goes where we go not all hotels take dogs our last trip
up i drove & stoped at every hotel for close to 3 hours before we found one was hoping to see you guys we got coffee packed

yes i am out of the us but bk was 15 miles away and in contact and went two times to the guys house
i will check out web site john
Why not post the ad on here so some of us can flag it for the seller, to help out as it were.
I keep looking at buses that are over 500 miles away, and this is the kind of stuff im afraid of.
Look at the bright side. At least you didnt come all the way up here to find out he sold it. And maybe he did you a favor, maybe there was some hiden issue with it and he was afraid it would come back to bite him.

You just hit the nail on the head he wants some sucker to come buy it from way off taking his word "it all worked when I put it in storage" and heading off down the hwy tired and weary before finding out what is wrong with it!
Granted John is from about as far away as anyone likely to buy would ever be, but John has me, Mike Sullivan and several other "allies" too close to the guys for him to feel comfortable selling it to John and it not being as said! (I think he knows I'll open a 5 gallon bucket of WHOOP @$# on his sorry scumbag SOB @$#!)

yes it is the right ad!
It's a temp RV for John to enjoy while building his "Crown" bus he already has!
RV, BUS, pile of dog crap it doesn't matter the seller is still a friggin jerk and class A ASSHOLE! (he knew John was putting out some serious $ to be able to come enjoy his vacation and hit some rally's and put faces with people he's met here on the board! & still screwed him over!)
That's OK what goes around comes around and BK is on the WAR PATH!
;D BK ;D
GGRRR! Bryce has his ire up...Every body duck. Glad I'm not close..I didn't like jail that much. The people were ok but the toilet kept backing up...Cable
I was just looking at the ad, seemed like it was under the wrong category. I flagged it for the guy, I'm sure he would rather list it properly.
fuggedaboutit! A motorhome with a blue tarp over it most likely has roof leaks.
To heck with the dirt bag. You dont want a s&s anyway. My advice to you would be to go on the trip and then rent a car at the airport and then rent a motorhome as close to the rally as possible (to save on the mileage) and drive the rv to the rally to stay in. Also if you look at craigslist in the rally areas you can often find an rv for sale or even a trailor and contact the owner, tell them about the rally and tell them you would like them to take the trailor or rv to the rally and park it and let you stay in it for the week. It is good exposure for selling and gives you a place to stay AT the rally.
thanks all for the posts i am far away but feel like you are all right around the block from me . have fun at the rallys
wish i where going but will get there down the road THANKS john
John,
You have your tickets. You have everything setup. Say "Shoot with it, and come on up anyways." Fly to wherever you are, rent a car, drive to a Cruise America place, and rent a RV. They are usually less than 100 a night. You can stay at the rally's, and then if you want return it and rent a car until the next rally.
Come on, pal. You can do it. Why not? You really don't have much to loose. Just do it!!!
God bless,
John
john thanks update my tickets to miami are open tickets no lose the travel agent who booked the flights needed
to get to bk place got me out of those my vet offerd to redo papers for next trip so money wise its ok my plan
was to buy as you said rent a rv for $ 100 a day 30 days $3000 dec trip 30 day another $3000 so $ 6000 plus
buying i resell in 6 mounts if i sell for $ 1000-2000 less i am ahead plus could take extra trip or time my wife has
never camped and this was also a starter trip she was all pumped up about trip we might still fly up for a week or
so john

If he does, John, just get a new one. It isn't that big a deal.
However, you won't find me signing him up for anything. I figure that is the kind of nutcase that he is, not much will change him (certainly signing him up for spam).
Anyways, I am sorry you couldn't make it up.
God bless,
John
John, anytime a door closes, another one thats better opens, it's the nature of life, don't worry about the guy, things like that have a tendancy to come back around on a person, someday he'll hear the banjos, meanwhile enjoy the upper road, he isn't worth getting upset over, you have actual friends here that you can count on, scratch the guy off your list and move on, plenty of opportunity out there. I've found that often when a deal falls thru, there was a reason it didn't work out and somebody up there was watching out for my well being.
John, Use your tickets and fly up! There a tons of S & S for sale all over the place. Find one you like, buy it and hit the road. I would rather buy one after seeing it anyway. By the looks of the one you wanted, it probably leaked like a sieve.
Don't give up on your dream! Like cody says, when one door shuts another will open, usually better too! I can speak from experience in that department! ;)
John, The motorhome in corpus is ready to go. Needs a good cleaning, maybe a day, and you'd be ready to go. I know this motorhome and would drive it anywhere. Those pictures didn't do it justice. I think you'd be happy with it. You could still make the rally's and have a good time. Come on up and follow us to TBR.
Richard
There you go, John. Jump on the plane, head to Corpus, and get that RV.
There is no time like now time!!!
God bless,
John
thanks again guys but i got out of the tickets i would need a week to do paper work / new tickets tbr would be over
before i could get there i am sure a new door will open with the help of all heer but its two late to get to rally
but have lots of fun and send me pictures thanks john
update we are going to fly up and try and restart the trip will start new post plan b
update the jerk just e mailed me calling me names and told me to stop spamming me or else i emailed back all in caps that it was
not me and to get a life also told him i am happy i did not buy from him as he is nuts and that i bought a better one at a lower price
will see what happens john
John,
It ain't me either. I did think about it, and really wanted to too. But I didn't out of respect for you. (since you reminded us that he had your email address too!)
Now on a side note I did drive by there yesterday evening about 7:00 PM and it is gone. I don't know if he really sold it or not, but he's removed it from the shed he had it 1/2 way parked in. (I didn't stop as I was simply rolling down the hwy on my way home from getting new tires put on one of the buses!)
;D BK ;D
hi bk i am over it its a good thing i did not get it he is nuts maybe its the new owner thats spamming him
