I THOUGHT THIS SITE WAS SCAM FREE !!!!!!AUSSIE RIPPED OFF $5,000 by JBo !!!!

[Jamo]

Got the PM, Bernie...thanks for the insight.

[Silverback51]

Damn, that was interesting to say the least.

I do have to give Lewis credit for one thing. No matter how many times he got knocked down, he got back up and tried again. Not a very smart lad, but he is determined.






























Determined to win that AssClown of the year award. And here it is, only the end of March and we have the number one contender already.

You have/need a MKIV in order for your site to have prestige?

Prestige comes from good personal and business character not from any auto or watch. While you may market to some that would think a shiny auto or glittering time piece would enhance their moral fiber only shows that you are no different than your customers.

My personal and business prestige and success comes from others knowing that all my debts and contracts will be fulfilled on time and most likely earlier than agreed.

One of the wealthiest gentlemen I have ever know drives a 56 Dodge pick-up and wears a Cassio. He wouldn't have anything to do with the likes of you, why should we here on CC.

I am not an attorney and have no emotional attachment to the car in question or the two parties involved.

Stepping back from the discussions around could-a, should-a, would-a, seems it comes down to three questions:

1. Was a binding contract in-place that defined the terms of the transaction for both parties - Yes

2. Did the binding contract specify terms (deposit, timelines, etc) that were agreed to by both parties - Yes

3. Was contract executed by both parties according to the original terms of the contract - No (have read nothing that suggests to me that this is not the case)

So, at days end, if binding contract was not executed according to original terms accepted by either of the two parties involved, then default agreements defined in this contract then come into play.

I may be looking at this too simply, but as an ex-auditor, you always start your due diligence at a contract level....

Bob...a contract may be formed in a variety of ways. An exchange of e-mails confirming the terms works just fine.

I am not an auditor, nor have I ever been.

[PatBuckley]

Too bad the deposit wasn't more.....

Also too bad the putz got banned - true stupidity with its accompanying indignance when wronged is a rare thing and should be encouraged as it makes for an enjoyable read.

[bdeutsch]

Here is where attorney's start earning their money...

I think, and again remembering I am not representing a legal opinion here, that recent cases in both government and private business suggest that e-mails are in-fact, binding documents. I know that in my company, we spend a significant amount of money archiving our e-mails for just these purposes.

Again though, here is where the attorney's start their work...

I guess it's my turn for a crack at lewis........

First off, you screwed up, plain and simple......My guess is you were going to "flip" the car and it didn't work out and you lost....you threw the dice and it came up snake eyes....put your tail between your legs and quit.....as others have said, when you find yourself chest deep in a hole, QUIT DIGGING.........

Now, too calling everyone here a "redneck",well, that's where I take offence.......not everyone here is a redneck and your actually giving true rednecks a bad name by doing so..
We have Cajuns (like me), we have yankees, we have them folks in the republic of kalifornia,we have a bunch of guys from down under and England of a whole bunch of other foreign countries and we even have one big ole Armenian!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have met and do know a handful of your fellow countrymen and I must say, I have liked them all,so you must be the exception to the rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3)YOU ARE A REDNECK. ****

and calling JohnnyMac a redneck is just plain wrong...I've met the guy and he ain't no redneck, he's a Yankee, barely.....he may be a lot of things (depends on whom you talk to) but he ain't no redneck..............

I'd suggest before you try to buy another car, make sure you DO INDEED have the funds to pay for it before entering into any type of deal..........even a fifth grader would know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott,

BINGO....you are either a good businessman or a cheat, not much in between.

I love that Lew-Ass has to throw his weight around espousing how much money he has....well where was the balance for this transaction, tied up in some offshore account?

One thing is clear from Lew-Ass's first post in this thread....



DOES

NOT

EQUAL

Damn this thread has legs.

Woke up and it's still going.

By the way, Lewis, "Here's your sign"!

And what do we consider these poor orphans from the rest of the United States of America. They can neither be considered rednecks, nor yankees

Fixed it for you

[jhv48]

We are all gathered here to remember what's left of Lewis.

R.I.P.

[FIA Mike]

Ron,

3 days 3 days. You mean I have to wait 3 whole days before reading any more “pearls of wisdom” from Lewis. Dang can you give him time off for good behavior? Hum sorry but can you make it 2 days?

Rebel1, I did not and do not want you to think I was serious about insulting the Australian aboriginal people. They are a proud breed of people. Similar to our American Indian. Of one I am part. Long live the Cherokee nation. I was just poking fun at Lewis.
My apologies if I offended you.

Regards, FIA Mike

Just do it.

Skuze me Jamo...why exactly do you suggest that?.

What exactly have I said or done to justify your advice?

[Jamo]

You got way too serious.

I (and several others) accepted more than a few personal shots, but we let it go for benefit of all mankind's enjoyment of the singular humor afforded by the guy on the streetcorner selling watches from his trenchcoat.

Lighten up!

[olddog]

Lewis,

Since this deal started out that your brother wanted a Corba after seeing yours (I hope I have this fact straight), shouldn't your brother be the one that is out $5k?

Flashbacks of an old Cheech and Chong (I think) parody, goes something like this

Yo man, yeah you, you want to buy a watch, because if you had a watch you would know it would be night time, and night time ain't no time to be in this here neighborhood

Either that, or this one

I got way too serious!!!!!....and all the others didn't?.

You let it go?...how gracious of you!.

Now I am really pi$$ed.

[olddog]

I do think the crowd has been pretty rough on Lewis, and maybe deservidly so, but we sure shouldn't be offending our Austailian friends.

I will point out that during the 2000 election, in this country, some people thought that they should be able to change the election rules and deadlines and to he!! with the laws. About half the country sided each way, and there have been hard feelings and mean spirited crap going on ever since.

At least in Lewis' defense the law in his country seems to be different than ours. So where is all the soft hearted Dems at? I would think they would be flocking to his side. They should truly understand his pain.
