Subject: [oletrucks] Melancholy Monday...
>Hi All...
>
>Thanks so much for all the answers to our questions about the two different
>53's. Thought I'd update you on our "Melancholy Monday" experience.
>
>In my gut... I felt like buying both trucks on the spot. Instead the owner
>said she would hold them both for me until today. I called and left a
>message with her sister-in-law Sunday afternoon explaining I'd be buy by
>1:00pm Monday.
>
>Arrived today at 11:00am only to find that they had already been picked up!
>A (supposed)local antique dealer (claiming "he" was the guy that called)
>bought them both for the $2000 "I" had agreed to pay! The sister in law
>said that she probably talked too much to him... thus allowing him to steal
>the deal!! I'm sick to my stomach over this scam.
>
>We tried to call the place he claimed to own, but as I expected... no such
>phone number appears to exist! When the original lady returned home, she
>too was shocked. We all felt pretty bad to say the least, They got the
>cash, but I did not get the trucks I talked to you about.
>
>Here in southern NJ, oletrucks are kinda hard to find in such good
condition
>and at such a good price. I still can't believe it happened to me. I
really
>had my heart set on having them. I wish I had just bought them the first
>day! What a hard lesson to learn! The ladies called a few friends for me
>hoping that they might know of where I might be able to find other old
>trucks for sale, but no luck.
>
>One of the guys we called (an oldtime cranberry farmer)said that I'd have
>better luck checking out in the midwest or southwest. That got me thinking
>about a family reunion we're going to attend near Cleveland, Ohio in
another
>week.
>
>Now... I'm trying to put this bad experience behind me (and my son). We're
>trying to look towards finding something along our trip route. If anyone
>knows of anyplace in Ohio or Indiana that might have "average or above"
>quality old Chevy trucks (49 to 59)... please let us know. Since I'll be
>towing it back (if I find one) I'm only looking for one (not two)! AND...
>I'll be sure to do it right this time!!!!!
