RE: BEWARE!!!!

[mhassett]

After 9 months of waiting we have purchased the 69 lemans blue Yenko chevelle from James Barry out of Melbourne Florida area.We are waiting for delivery when we received a call from copolocater this morning that he is trying to sell this car to other website members.He has a large deposit of ours and were going to pay the remainder on delivery. We hope that anybody else that has put a deposit on this car please - Be CAREFUL!We have no problem with anybody trying to get the most money out of their car but to take a deposit and then try to resale the car to someone else just isn't a proper way to do business.At least not our way. I have e-mailed him (8) times in the last few days and (7) calls to his home in Florida and STILL NO RESPONSE!!! Don't UNDERSTAND any of This, Mark [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I have heard similar things about this guy before, I would be on a plane to Florida to get money or car, and maybe a lesson in manners as well! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

That's unforgivable. I suggest to all the members that NO ONE do a deal on this car. These are the kind of things where we have to stick together. A deal is a deal, and, we shouldn't get in the middle unless we're willing to have it done to us. I hope you get the deal completed to your satisfaction Mark.

Mark, I am the other guy! Had no idea until I made the offer on the car. James told me you had first crack at the car. I told him that was fine. If you backed out I was next. He did not feel you were going to pay over a certain amount. He never indicated to me you had money down! Count me out! Thats pretty sneaky!

Dave, is there anything out there you're not buying??? Ha! Ha!

Way to go Dave. Now I know all those things Holub said about you aren't true.

Mark, you are not the first and won't be the last that has been or could possibly be taken for a ride by this guy. A friend of mine lost a bunch of money on a bogus Vette deal about 3 years ago with this guy. He was told by James that he had a Nickey Corvette and they agreed upon a price, sent the deposit and never saw the car. I am not sure if he ever got his deposit back or not.

I agree with Mike, if this guy really does have this Chevelle then everyone should pass on it. Bet he doesn't have it though................RatPack..................

Thanks for coming forward with this--I went to Florida LAST APRIL to Mr. Berry's house and we MADE the DEAL and AGREED on a FIGURE and I gave him a Check for the Deposit and Delivery was to be when the Restoration was Completed. The car is done and has been done and (3) Weeks ago he asked for MORE MONEY I went MORE MONEY and on November 16th he e-mailed me that he was checking his schedule DELIVER the Car to me (I was EVEN letting him USE MY TRUCK and MY NEW TRAILER for Delivery.) ALSO I was PAYING his Air FARE!!!! I did hear some rumors of him trying to sell it from out under me BUT He DENIED that and just spoke with my Wife and confirmed the car was OURS. Now he has been AVOIDING Me for Days. Last e-mail was 11/16 Please HONOR OUR DEAL James Berry and at LEAST have the DECENCY to call me or e-mail me. MONEY-MONEY MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL---This is NOT Right--as this car was MINE in APRIL.....I am NOT MAD at any other Board Members that he might have contacted as I am SURE you guys did not Know all this.

Mark,

As you know you paid me to travel to Florida, paid me to examine and authenticate the the blue Yenko Chevelle, and later to look for a replacement car for Mr. Barry when he stipulated that you would "Need to find me a replacement car". You then again paid me to conduct a nationwide search for a listing of several types of prospective cars that Mr. Barry had provided to you. When I found him one of the cars I E-Mailed him informing him of the find. He stated he would want to replace the Yenko when he sold it to you, I then informed Mr Barry of the general location of the car (67 BB Indy Pace car) and a discription only. You later told me you questioned Mr. Barry If he found the 67 camaro to be to his liking. You then informed me that Mr. Barry stated to you that He had attempted to call the owner of the car I had located for him-several times- but could not reach him... . This seems really strange as I never provided the name of the owner or a phone number of where to call. Stay far- far away from this guy no ethics. Mark, looks like you wasted quite a bit of money on him and got nothing in return.

Mark, If you have a substantial deposit I would be more than happy to go collect for a nominal fee. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
