Hi to all;
Since I guess that one of the good things about this list is that we can all
find out good and bad about a dealer from others who have dealt with him, I
will add a Colemans fiasco to the list.
I called them about the New/unused aluminum 600 gallon diesel skid tanks
they advertise. They told me yup they have them, also have used. I made an
appointment to pick one up when they would have someone there to drive a
forklift or backhoe to lift it onto a trailer. I then drove all the way
from MA to PA to pick it up and when I got there every one they had was
junk. I spent hours walking around looking at them and everything else.
They had a lot of them but like every thing else I saw they were just piled
in huge piles. The handles and plumbing were all broken and bent. They did
not have one there that was new. All junk. I thought that since we were
there I would pickup one that could be fixed but they would not even talk
price. They act as if they dont want to sell anything which is strange
because the entire place is one gigantic environmental disaster just waiting
to be shut down by the EPA. I would want to get the stuff sold and cleanup
the place a little but I guess they dont. It would be worth the trip for
anyone to go there and see the place. You will think you are on some island
where all the stuff that was going to be used in the invasion of the
Japanese home islands was just dumped.
I left without buying anything and stopped by Saturn surplus and picked
up some items and was treated real nice by some good people and then drove
all the way back to MA 400 miles with an empty trailer on the back. They
will have to go some to get me to buy anything in the future thats for sure.
Since that tiem I have been asked several times what I think of someone
dealing with them, and I told them what happened. FYI YMMV.
