Ok I don't own it

"Call them and leave messages about you're plans to be knocking on their door Monday morning with a shot gun, "

 

Cool it folks I want two things

A
The continued invaluable input from every member of this forum

B
The boat that I honestly signed for and sent in a good faith payment for

Doesn't seem like I'm asking for to much but apparently
I'm not likely to get either

 

OK, I missed that one. Although I doubt anyone would consider it a serious threat.

 

What is it with you Jingsong? If you have an ax to grind, there's an open portion to this discussion forum, where the trolls can mill about, rubbing knuckles without disturbing the majority of members.

 

If you don't get some immediate resolution to this, Boston, I think PAR's advice is good: get hold of a newspaper or other news outlet, and start publicly embarrassing the church. Reporters need an angle, so play up the fact that the Haida Princess is a piece of Northwest history and you were planning to restore her to her original glory. That's the hook they'll hang the story on.

 

Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot here.

Comments from a newly registered member (who we do not know yet) that other members are "boozers," "ignorant," or just "out of rehab" are considered inappropriate. Once you've posted for a while, and everyone knows you, or if you've taken the time to give advice to hundreds of other people here, we can take comments with a sense of humor when meant with a sense of humor and I try to give great latitude. But even if you've been reading for a while, we don't know you yet to know if your meaning is friendly jab or malicious.

So I'd ask any new member (or member who is posting for the first time) to please keep posts courteous and avoid comments that may be taken as rude by other members.

 

Not much to snip there. Didn't call you stupid though. Yup - lots the mod didn't like - he thought you'd be offended. I thought you might have thicker skin - never asked you did he? Glad you saw most of it anyway.. Clears the air sort of. If you want to know the rest PM me. I'll be glad to repeat it.

I didn't know Boston is named Dan. Dan - Good luck.

I jumped in here because I felt and feel for Dan. Guess I shouldn't have cared. He is really excited and so many people on this forum were happy for him - only to see it come crashing down..

I also jumped in because it looked like he was trying to make a major purchase without protecting himself. And after a few days no one else on the forum had articulated the basic "due diligence" a buyer should perform making a major purchase.

The way Dan did the deal is not *protective* of his interests... He was buying a dream. He may have been set up.

I am sorry for Dan - I hope he comes out whole.

I also hope others who read this forum catch a glimpse of this thread and do not do the same thing.

 

Thanks
My take is I deal with people from a position of honesty
Might not be the best way to fly but hey
It looks good in court
And it makes me feel good

Deal is I did tons of due diligence and in the end I bought the boat

It's mine and I want it

My pathway to achieving this gaol is also honorable
No court would see this any other way than I got screwed

Seller be ware
The buyer is not always the sheep you had expected

 

I suspect you (Jingsong) entered a thread, with the wrong tone (timing not intention) and an insufficient amount of previous history. Any newbie would have been jumped on in the later portions of this thread, you certainly were, which is why I returned your point loses (plus 300%).

Lets try this again, shall we, welcome aboard, interesting screen name, mine is my initials as it's way too many letters to type out my name long hand. Yep, it looks like Dan might have been screwed, but the jury's not quite in on this one yet. Most of us what to skin 'em and feed the remains to a grizzly, what do you think?

 

I'm glad that I misunderstood your intent Jingsong. Again, I'm sorry that evidently I completely misunderstood the tone of your post (that I deleted)

Possibly two people posted at the same time so it was not in reference to the post #177 that I thought it was in reference to and took as an insult, or the humor completely went over my head when I first read it - it's been a long day.

P.S. I should add that there is nothing that appears "fishy" about jingsong's registration, email address, etc.

Sorry we got off on the wrong foot the first time.

 

There's always the possibility this was a scam of one sort or another from the get-go, keeping in mind the old saw that deals too good to be true usually aren't--true, I mean.

I think it's more likely that someone came along and offered a couple thou more than Boston, and the good church elders decided to grab it. In my experience, pastors and church board members have notoriously flexible business ethics. After all, everything they're doing is in the name of the Lord and for a good cause....

It seems to me that regardless of the details, the broker is on shaky ground; I'd find out what board or agency in Oregon keeps tabs on his license.

And I wouldn't cancel the check. I can't imagine better evidence of a done deal than the broker or a representative of the church cashing it.

Who was the check made out to, by the way? That's the sort of little detail we need to know, if we're going to give useful advice.

 

Boston is threatening litigation. Litigation means discovery and discovery means searching for information.

This forum is not behind a login - is it spidered by Google and other search engines - these posts - even if deleted - are cached and saved and can be found and used in court.

I'm not suggesting PAR is an idiot with a gun [perhaps a keyboard - no offense intended Mod Jeff]...

But the forum webmaster could be subpoenaed and PAR could end up in court as a witness due to a dumb posting like this [not that PAR is dumb Mod Jeff and no offense intended]

 

It was made out to Jim who said he was authorized to accept payment

I have a signed contract with his John Hancock on it and a check made out to him

I cancelled the check today as per instructions from legal council

I intend on recovering my boat or the sale price of it's loss

Might or might not work out but in either case
I'm going for it

B

 

Just to clarify

I'm not threatening litigation
I am in litigation as we speak

I own the boat and i intend to receive delivery of same or reasonable compensation

I have secured legal council and initiated action
There is no threat
There is a process and that process is well under way

B

 

This doesn't jell - if you own the boat you can't cancel the check. Its boat OR money you have....
