TO all of our fellow honest jeep guys and 4x4ers, Please beware of this rip off liying pos. My little brother makes a deal to buy this 1992 YJ listed in vehicles forsale deal set waiting onn him to show. Ohio guy agrees to deliver for gas money with cash in hand to be here at 4pm, we call him he says running a bit late, he calls an hour later saying I have a problem I had a better offer and I sold it. Sold it after a deal is done? right what a way to screw someone on there first jeep great way to welcome someone to the 4x4 world. Not to mention he already has a negtive feedback on his name I hope all you guys appreciate a heads up on a dirt ball like this.

My little bro is at work right now and don't even know his first jeep is no longer his.

We've met him as well JeepBrattt seemed like a really honest good ole boy. Thats why my husband suggested to his brother that he buy his jeep they went out yesterday and took a look at it and Joe decided to buy it, it was supposed to be delivered today at 4pm but my bro in law had to work so my husband went down to finalize the deal and well youguys know the rest. I questioned my husband about it last night when he got home because I saw that the post had been bumped by Ohio Guy at 3:15pm this was after my husband and his brother were at his house and had made the deal. I also took screen shots of my husbands pms with what Ohio Guy had said. Pictures are worth a thousand words. I really feel bad for my Brother in law he was extremely estatic and excited and let others deals go because this was supposed to be a done deal. How extremely sad.

Right rob oh so true. You would think fellow jeepers and 4x4er's who are also local would be honest when you wheel with all their friends and have even met them and theres alot of wheeling and dealing going on with purchase's and trades that someone would be honest. Guess thats not the case, theres always one bad egg in the bunch.:confused:

We had cash in hand, but Ohio Guy didn't meet us so we could look at the jeep his cousin did. His cousin wouldn't take any money from us he didn't feel comfortable dealing with $$$. And Ohio Guy didn't have the title in his name so he didn't want to accept any cash he was supposed to get the title switched over today and deliver the Jeep for a legitimate deal. The guy didn't stick to his word we even made sure of this last night via PM that it was a done deal. And phone calls between my little brother and him today also confirmed the deal was done. Knew something was up when he bumped that thread after we had already been there, I guess an extra 200 bucks is more than you can say for his reputation.

Your a dishonest piece of shit. You made a verbal deal and a deal in PM. You not only wasted their time yesterday coming to look at this jeep when the title wasn't even in YOUR name. He turned other deals away because you agreed to the deal youguys had made. You also wasted my husbands time and gas by having him go down to his brothers has to wait for you to deliver this jeep and finalize the deal. We do alot of dealings with local people where parts and vehicles and various other things are concerned and believe me word of mouth travels fast, we will be telling everyone we know not to trust your lysing ass! So FUCK YOU!

You also never put in your ad that the transmisson was fucked.

I did not get on here to start a 200 page rant, there are plenty of them on here! All I am saying is watch out for dealing with this guy. Others have had problems with him as well as us.

I know shame on us for the deposit but in the terms you kinda have to take the guys word due to his terms.

I could have trailered it home but you offered so hell ya why not!

His cousion sat and told us about all these people they snowmobile with and deal with and knowing all of them we felt save with the deal. All his so called freinds (us knowing for 15+ years) are legit and honest people. Hell we have keys to their barns for sakes. I am sure the word of a screwing will get out in our local area fast enough to ruin the trust credit around here and it will be enough.

I have every right to rant like everyone else that has been screwed! For some it's enterainment for others same ole shit!

Enough is enough everyones opinion is just that but facts are facts and we leave it on that note. I hope all will understand the friendly warning we have all been there or will be there someday! This happens to many but nothing will ever be done if no one steps up!

I have to say I'm utterly amused at some of the statements here. Youguys go on about whiners and flame thowers when isn't that what your doing yourself? Its called an opinion you know the thing your entitled to when you live in the USA?! Flat out in the screen shot you saw where Ohio Guy says this is a done deal and what time he'll be delivering the jeep. I guess its just way to much to ask to accept someone at face value to honor the deal they made right? He also accepted the 1300 in a later PM. I however find it very hard to believe that someone would pay him 1800 when he was trying to get 1500 and had no bites all weekend? But just right when he was supposively on his way to deliver the jeep someone automatically produces 1800? I smell a line of bullshit and youguys are falling for it hook line and sinker.

The only way to make it a for sure thing is to meet them there. I may be a dick; but if I am selling something, I have them meet me at my house. Or If I buy something I go to there place, I don't meet people halfway; It is just to excluded the possibility of someone saying the item is a complete POS and mad for wasting the gas. just my $.02 though
