Jim - I haven't received your email. Did you email my personal address or through this list? I'd like to exchange some information with you that may help us both to get what we want - a refund or an engine. It matters not to me either way!
As to how I heard about this eforum, I just found it the other day, then as I was gathering information to initiate my own consumer complaint, I found this post.
I guess the way I feel about it is this - the honest businessman communicates with his customers, he doesn't hide! Like yourself, I have been trying to simply get some answers, good or bad. Kent could help his case DRAMATICALLY by not hiding. He knows my home phone, my cell phone, and both have voice mail! There are a lot of things that have been omitted from this story. For instance, did you know that he supposedly had injured his back when unloading an engine in Dayton Ohio? And that his father had died a few months ago and that the father was the owner of "Dragboys" and my engine was supposedly tied up in probate? There is a lot more to this story than just a "good businessman falling on hard times". I believe this guy could do himself a lot of good by at least calling his customers and telling the TRUTH rather than hiding behind the "my attorney told me not to call anyone" excuse. And who IS this other guy that's supposed to be his "friend"? I would invite him to tell his friend that if some of us don't start to get some answers soon, that the "locals" will be the least of his problems. There are other issues here that I won't tip my hand to right now, but the fact is it could all be avoided by being honest and straight.
Sorry to ramble, but I am STEAMED! My wife ordered this engine a long time ago and if it had been me it wouldn't be so bad, but this guy (I can't call him a man) messed with my family. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
