Re: sold a boat and it busted!

Congratulations. I'm very surprised that they did not show up. After taking it that far i figured they were a lock to follow through. But, I'm glad to hear that it finaly worked out in your favor. :B

Congrat's!! But I see what you mean... kinda anticlimactic... Would've been more satisfying to win in a saliva flyin' mix of "Justice for All" and "A Few Good Men" kind of styles....

"You're out order!! 'Cause you can't handle the TRUTH!"

:)

Really, good to hear it worked out. How much did it cost you in legal fees if you don't mind me asking? Can you re-coup those based on it being a frivilious law suit? Or maybe not worth the effort.

If you want a climax, you could call them and ask them why they didn't show :)

OR, counter sue for the gas money/headache. If that's possible.

Well CB glad this is finally over for you and you emerged victorious. I must admit I have looked forward to reading all the new posts in this thread and now it looks like it has seen it's day. Happy sailing and hope you have a great carefree summer.

Re: sold a boat and it busted!

Glad to hear that one of the good guys won for a change - and a default is still a win for sure!

I think the answer to the question of if a counter-suit is possible, is yes. Whether it is worth the effort or not is another thing. I would say that it depends on how much you are out for attorney's fees, etc.

Hmmmmmm ..... it would be sort of amusing to read some more in here, about how some judge made them pay you whatever the limit in your smail claims court is! :D

Justice is done finally. They probably go tired of trying to take advantage of you since you were fighting. I think this need a sticky if you ask me...

Grats but still goes to show that because of some inexperienced BUYER a decent seller went through a miserable couple of months and spent good money

Congrats CB.

This is my first post in this thread but have visited countless times over the past months. Good to see you come out on top.

Makes me worry about everything I've ever sold though, I've always been honest but you never know.

Super outcome for you, CB! That great Tennesseean, David Crockett, was reported to have said, "If you think you are right, go ahead." Got him killed at the Alamo, but he may have been on to something.
