I was selling my trailer on CL. It had a lot of issues and I had been very clear and hoest about the issues in my post. Peter George reached out to me and said he wanted my trailer. I had one caller in front of him and I was going in order. He said he would buy my trailer right now at asking price if I gave him first chance to buy. I let him know my honor would not allow me to do that but if they changed their mind he was the next in line.
By the way, at no time did he say he was a dealer looking to fix and resell my trailer. I would have not given my address had he been open and honest. Understand he contacted me, not me him.
When the other person didn't show show, I called him and gave him a chance.
He came to my home and started telling my husband all the things wrong with the trailer and trying to talk him down on price. My hubby came to ask if I would go lower on the price so I went out and said no, because when he talked with me on the phone he said he would pay full price if I let him come before the other person. He didn't like that and told me it wasn't worth that. He argued with me and that is when I found out he was a dealer. At that point I told him his profit margin wasn't important to me and said no again.
Under the pretext of sending his crew a video to find out if his crew could manage the repairs, he proceeded to take pictures of the bad parts of the trailer. Then he said he would tell all his people (other dealers in the area) to not buy my trailer. He then put a blast on social media that my trailer was trash, and even texted me what he had posted: a pic with the caption "Beware this trailer is trash" accompanied by a shrugging emoji. So he did his best to keep me from selling my property.
I sold my trailer for the asking price by some wonderful folks who rehab trailers and they paid happily what I was asking. They let me know my trailer was well worth my asking price.
Peter George is a very abrasive, duplicitous, and dishonest individual and I did not contact him, he responded to my ad. read more
