Storage fee is all fine and dandy, but it goes out the window when the agreed upon deadline is missed so egregiously.

A combo of arrogance, and as someone has mentioned before, we're not exactly talking about a sophisticated business person. Some businesses are run by uneducated jackwagons tnat happened to have/build a particular skill (ie welding). These tend to be the types that just don't get it and eventually screw up the golden goose.

Wow. You missed the point completely. This is not about welders. I'm simply saying because someone has a great skill doesn't make them a great and reasonable business person. Could be any number of trades or skills. But yeah, many are not educated and run into problems with other parts of the business. This is a very common issue.
Yep, I read that too. The customer states there was a deadline. However, I know for a fact that Gator Pit does not do "Deadlines". So if there was an agreement between Gator Pit and the original purchaser please share the contract.FishingAggie said:jcatam99 said:There was NO deadline.Chipotlemonger said:

Paid in full 7/12/2017. Completed 3/16/2018.
Event pit was needed passed and pit was not ready
Those are facts.
Gator pit doesn't guarantee anything. So I guess you could say there was no deadline.
8 months for a pit. Lol.

It does not matter what my affiliation is with Gator Pit, I could be a past customer, friend, family member, Lawyer, or just Texags lurker. The bottom line is I am an Aggie and after reading these 2 threads I have way more questions than facts.FishingAggie said:jcatam99 said:Yep, I read that too. The customer states there was a deadline.

You're obviously affiliated with gator pit.
I'm sure the purchaser wouldn't have paid in full AND in advance for a pit he knew wouldn't be ready. I'm sure SOMEONE told the purchaser it'd be no problem getting it in time for his event. The purchaser is guilty of trusting gator pit and not getting it in writing.
Unfortunately , he didn't read the fine print that states " gator pit guarantees nothing except there's no refunds and no time limit on when your pit will be ready. ""
Purchaser missed his event. Sold the pit at a loss.
But yes. Gator pit honored their no guarantee contract to the letter and took the money up front. Then charged late fees if the pick up wasn't within 10 days ....classy
You're not helping their case here.....

Don't get me wrong, I to felt bad that he was not able to use his new pit for the event and I think it is very noble of you to purchase this pit from the original purchaser. From what I can tell you are getting one hell of a pit for one heck of a discount. However, there are way too many questions for me to jump on this bandwagon and try and lynch a small business owner.
Before I leave this thread, here are some questions to ponder:
1. Did the original Purchaser tell Gator pit they no longer wanted the Pit?
2. Did he tell Gator Pit he wanted a refund?
3. Did the he tell Gator Pit he sold the pit to you?
4. How do you transfer the ownership of a trailer to another owner without owner's signature?
5. How do you transfer ownership of a trailer unless there is a bill of sale?
I am sure all be fine picking up that pit tomorrow.

But I do think you start to venture into questionable territory if you aren't able to provide an estimated timeframe and at least somewhat live up to it when you have taken payment in full upfront,

I learned early on most people that require 100% up front are floating jobs with others money. We had this happen when we had a $1500 door installed in our home. The "3-4 week" timeframe on the door turned into 6 weeks. The guy started getting wishy washy on us not returning calls. When I finally got a hold of him he told me the door company damaged it during manufacturing and it would be a few more weeks. I called the door company directly and they told me the guy had just put the order in and no there was never a damaged door. When all the dust settled he spent my upfront money likely on another project he was behind in and had to wait for the next persons up front money to fulfill my order once I started putting the fire on him to get my job done.
If the pits are as awesome as they claim to be, GP should have no problem at all selling an unclaimed or unwanted pit.reddog90 said:
You guys saying GP should have just refunded OP and sold the pit to someone else waiting might be missing the point that these are custom pits. Someone paying $5-10k for their custom pit might not want to pay $5-10k for someone else's idea of a custom pit.
No, that is not a GP.FishingAggie said:RPM said:
I waited and waited for my Gator Pit. One year to be precise. After four months it looks like this:
Is that really a gator pit? Those are bad welds. You're joking right? Please say yes.
I think it's being picked up today, right?aTm2004 said:
So, was this thing ever picked up?
But do you know anybody who consistently wins on the competition circuit with a gator pit?BigPuma said:Competition teams and guys that like to do BBQ for charities and what not. Basically in my opinion when you need to make them mobile.dubi said:I really wonder who buys a $5k bbq pit?nonameag99 said:Who hires an attorney over a $5k bbq pit, LOLChipotlemonger said:
In. I wouldn't worry too much about the attorney talk, FishinAg. Think that's all smoke.
I do like getting to hear that added wrinkle from the guy asking about materials on this thread from Gator Pit.
I also have a small Lyfetime offset in my back yard that does good work too.
