Many people that do business on eBay, do it here too. In one of the thread that mentions eBay, which has now been deleted, I even said that that person had done business on this website. So if you have proof that a person does do business here and he or she has taken advantage of others on another site, I think you should post here to warn others on this site. Yes, it truly is sad the golden rule is gone, and in this hobby/business, your reputation is everything, and people need to learn not to take advantage of others, or it will be shown what type of person you really are. My family does this as a hobby. We have bought 30+ tractors in the past two years and only sold 3; so to us, like most, it is a hobby not a business. So people that have lots of trouble on this site (one problem a year defined by some people) might just buy a little more (20 or more tractors a year) than somebody that does not buy much (1 or 2 tractors a year) and has no trouble. Also we buy 200+ parts a year from eBay. In fact, I have four imported tractors being delivered tomorrow. I bought them as running but for the price I paid, I just want them to be able to roll. I am sure parts are going to be missing and probably two or three of the tractors will be worn out, but that’s ok. I am not going to post here and be all upset, I was just happy to get pictures. It is not like the seller talked them up, “here are the pictures, they are supposed to run,” that is about the extent of the description. However, when you pay premium for good running tractor and you get a bad motor/block, and have the original ad where it does not mention it, I do have an issue there. Or when you specifically ask a seller if their item is something and the item arrives completely different, I do have an issue there too. Also, no body is forcing anybody to read anything. If you get a newspaper in the morning do you really read everything in it, even if you don’t want to? That is like this site, I only read certain parts of it, by choice. I have proof read this many times to make sure I am not offending anybody. And please if anybody has a problem with MY OPINION; please state so, but use logic not name calling. Also in my OPINION, I think this feedback form should be bad experiences only; using the idea of no new is good news. Because I could fill this form up with great transactions, but that will make potential buyer’s search harder. Again this is my opinion. I will be away from my computers the next couple of days, so if anybody wants to attack me, fine, I really don’t care, I have never wronged anybody. If you don’t ever want to sell to me or buy from me, I probably feel the same way to you. But I really hope some critics will understand where I have been coming from, because maybe I did not make it that clear with previous posts. Also my email has always been open if anybody wants to write me.
