I would not attempt to do business with RayZ71 again. He agreed to purchase my boat. I agreed to hold it for him until Friday when he got paid. He said he was SURE he wanted it. During that time I received several calls on the boat from interested buyers saying they wanted it. I told them it was sold because Ray said he was sure he wanted. He said that Wednesday and Thursday.
We agreed he would pick up the boat on Friday at noon. I was there with everything ready and the title notarized at 11:45am. He sent me a PM at 12:30pm saying he forgot his phone or something and was running late.
I called him many times and sent him several PMs from 12-2:00pm before I finally went back to work.
At 12:30am Saturday he sent me a PM saying he couldn’t buy the boat. This is 12.5 HOURS after he was supposed to be there. He didn’t call or show up. I think if you make a commitment like that you should do everything within your power to see it through. This is the first time I have ever been stood up on Okshooters or on Craigslist.
Missing work cost me money and I lost potential sales by telling people it was sold.
In his last private message he said something unexpected came up. The PM is at the bottom of this post.
If something came up AT LEAST LET ME KNOW so I am not sitting at home missing work. All he would have had to do is let me know he wasn’t going to make it and I wouldn’t post negative feedback. Backing out of a deal last minute isn’t how I do business but if you are going to be that way, at least call and let someone know. He seems like a nice enough guy but I thought I should relay what happened.

If you are SURE you are going to buy it I'll hold it. I would hate to miss a sale if something changes. Know what I mean?
Thanks,

Rays reply: No I want it, I just don't have the cash until then and it would definitely be before 5:30. I leave at 3pm. It would be in the morning. If you could hold it for me, I would really appreciate it. My kids will love you forever..lol

Last message sent by Ray 12 hours after we had agreed to meet:
“Sorry man, head some personal issues and a 300 electric bill that came today. Im very sorry but I wont be able to purchase the boat. I could help you sell it if you like. I know what I said but this was something unexpected, I had no control over it.”
