Am I wrong for being pissed?

I don't think posting a dealers name with good or bad info about them is disrespectful to TBN. If you don't give the owner a chance to rectify the situation, cause you refuse to do business with them, i can understand not naming them. However, if you did contact the owner and ask for compensation and none is given to your satisfaction, then you should indeed post the facts and the dealers name. To me this seems more in line with respect to other TBN potential buyers. Its good to know as much as possible about who you are thinking of spending your bucks with, and TBN helps spread dealer info, both good and bad.

I agree. How many great posts have been here about Ken Sweet? Tons, and deservedly so. Likewise simply name a dealer if they gave poor service is not unwarranted. It's not harrassment. I would use caution about posting little nit picky things however.

Therein lies the problem, 'nit picky' is in the eyes of the beholder. Hence the TBN Terms of Service.

We all know nobody reads those terms.

That may be true, and explains why some posters are suprised when their writings are edited or removed.

Not entirely true, but more so than it should be. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Everyone should read the Terms of Service and the FAQ.

( Went to a kubota dealer Saturday and saw a b7100 manual trans w/fel 1600 hours, I asked the owner of the shop how much and he said $6000. I thought the price was fair and told him I have a powerking w/fel and belly mower for trade, he said bring it up and we'll work something out. So I went and loaded up my tractor and mower and brought it back up( btw it was a 60 mile trip one way)
Now the salesman comes out and tells me they can't trade on mine cause the market has changed on used tractors and they wouldn't be able to get anything for it.Now this is the same guy I bought this tractor from last summer and there were 4 other people looking to buy it
I told the salesman and the owner to go get bent( that's putting it nicley). Sorry to be so long winded /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif )

Why didn't you ONLY deal with the OWNER himself /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif?? As I read it, he's the one who told you to bring yours in /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif. G

May I be forgiven for my mistake ? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I will go sit in the corner..........

My intentions were to deal with the owner only, but the salesman weaseled? his way in , after that the owner couldn't be bothered talking to me. I don't know what the relationship is between them , but it sure seemed to me that the salesman was running the show.
