Muhammad came on here and announced that they are no longer a paid advertiser, and he was going to keep the thread going a few weeks ago

I wouldn't buy a screw sharpener from them with those ridiculous lead times. Too many other places to get equipment.

I have to ask, what is a 'screw sharpener'????

 

[lilranch2001]

It is a device that sharpens screws

Only way you'll know for sure what's going on is to watch the court filings in their vicinity. Will all be a matter of public record. If there's a Chapter 11 bankruptcy they may be back with new management\ownership. If it's chapter 7, they're done....even if someone buys all the assets and runs a new version of EA, they won't be liable for the remaining debts.

If you paid up front for an implement, in Chapter 7 that makes you an unsecured creditor and you are last in line to get anything from the liquidation proceeds. In chapter 11 you still stand a pretty good chance of getting your stuff.

People keep talking about the construction project and those liens, but the liens themselves aren't really enforceable till the property sells. It would have to be an adverse judgement to really cause an immediate problem, although legal bills themselves can sink you really easy. $500 hour lawyers add up quick...

I never caught that but then there was no reason for me to anyway.

It's sold in a package deal with a wire stretcher.

Been 'screwed' a few times in the past and candidly, it was never sharp. Was mostly blunt...lol

Thanks, all sounds plausible

40 years ago when we had a couple very young and very fresh apprentices working with us, we used to chase them around jobsites looking for our pipe stretchers, they would go from crew to crew looking for it, and each crew would send them to the next crew….

Funny thing is, they never did find one

Where did this insane practice of paying for stuff before you get it come from? We wouldn't be having this conversation if people had refused to do it.

 

[lilranch2001]

They had a big name and lots of people wanted their product along with the free shipping

It seemed to work for them for a while

 

[workinonit]

always something fishy when someone wants their money before they produce a product. That tells me they are in a bad cash flow position.

I will say I bought the Everlast TIG cooler but I did it in their website and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Not that I'd buy an Everlast welding machine because I would not. They have had some issues in the past as well. I'm on the Welding Web site and on the boss' welding site as well.

All business sites today are having issues because of the economy and I sincerely hope they (EA) come out ok.

Has anyone that has a pending order tried calling EA and asking these questions? I know I would be calling. The problem is everything we are hearing could be bad information.

Their website is up and running with two phone numbers listed.

Is this what you are looking for? 2 local sales to me are coming up and these will be on both sales and could sell for 700 to 1500 bucks with 3 augers and crated in a metal crate for shipping.

That is what I am looking for, but I am trying to do some looking for American made units as I am thinking about running a stump planer for grinding stumps, all the ones on the auctions around here are Chinese made and go anywhere from $750-$1,500 but I am afraid I am going to get what I pay for. I am guessing that is yours. How has it worked out for you? And lastly where is it made? Thanks. Charlie.

 

[two_bit_score]

How can you not find that to be hilarious?

It is hilarious.

The alledged situation with EA is not but the expectation that Rich expressed that someone should go knock on the door when he refuses to pick up the phone is beyond hilarious.

And it's always possible that a lot of this started because EA made a business decision to stop being a paid advertiser on TBN and that got twisted out of porportion.

 

[5030]

I guess time will tell, like it usually does and it will be noted on here anyway.

 

[lilranch2001]

As widely stated hindsight is 20/20

Oh, it's Chinese no doubt. But I can say it has worked great for me. I couldn't see investing 3 grand when I got this one for 900.

The one thing I didn't like about them was, they wanted complete payment up front and that told me they have had a cash flow issue for a while. In my fabrication and welding business, I never would ask to be paid up front, I'd not be in business very long doing that and I deal with automotive a lot and you wait for your money, sometimes a long time. Same way with running hay. My customer pays me before the end of the year but not instantly and I can well weather that, but some business owners cannot.

I have to assume that these would be known customers and not new ones that year? We have a couple that are slow but not bad. This year though I have 2 that are 6 and 8 months late. 1 is the neighbor and relative. We get wrong number calls so there is a known issue. We have a list for those people and they won't like it. I don't mind a delay but there needs to be a cut off point. I'm not a credit agency and it's not like I can repo fed hay.
