Screen Printing Auction - Tuesday, April 3rd - Tee's Plus - Groton, CT

Pierre, it does...you are right...if people do not want to do business with someone or because someone comes along with the deal it is important to know how people feel...Maybe the auction company doesn't know...just like my first press...maybe I should have ( ok we all know I should have) done more research...but I didnt and because they had a great web presence doesn't mean they were good...

so keep it alive so people can see what the industry feels about him..

I think we get the picture. This thread, if continued, can only deter more positive and informative ones. I'd take it down

tony,

we normally take these posts down, but as a consequence there is very little info on asdf on the web and ppl like CRG end up hiring him. I would like to leave it up as a testimony to the general sentiment of the screenprinting community.


Does that make any sense?

pierre

Your call of course. . . I guess thats a valid point.



EDIT: to move the text from inside the quote.

As long as no one tries to turn this actual CIS (Critical Information Site) into the DigitSmith Lounge! 

When we started, a year ago, we were ridiculously up front about where we stood on this man. (Some of you may remember our inaugural name)
I made it abundantly clear in a policy statement that we would not allow any posts that may further his agenda or profits. I also warned about piling on and playing his game with constant attacks that still keep his name and business interests in the forefront. This was not to become a bash board either.

We've been able to stick with this policy with only a few hiccups.
Even one member who got a press from him that does not print close to the advertised size showed admirable restraint here, respecting our policy.

Likewise, neither of the (at least) two buyers who never received product after paying deposits have tainted our hallowed halls with their misery. Thank you.

So now, it comes up again. Some saying that CRG auctions' posts should be taken down. Some saying that it may not even be CRG who signed up. And at least one voice that sticks up for him because he wasn't personalty cheated, insulted, or even lost any business due to the purposeful demolition of TSPMB by the aforementioned, whether in the pay of another rascal, or on his own. And my own partner even lowering our filters.

So as long as potential customers of CRG, and CRG themselves know that this particular guy is less than honorable in the eyes of many, it may be good that this subject popped up.

This is way more on this dreaded subject than I ever expected to post, and I almost hope that the thread does get tossed, but we will see where it goes for the time-being.
Please show a little class, and help keep this place special, and Play Nice.

Frog, I agree with all you have said, and I don't feel that this site will become the Lounge on DS. However with that said, when you have an abuntant amount of information about a particular person or group of people who are doing harm to our industry and its members, then I think it would be the responsible thing to do to let people know what that entity has done to wrong them. As you know this isn't a one or two time offender. Helping out people in our industry is what this forum is about and I don't see this issue being any different than someone posting about their good or bad experience they had with an particular ink or screens, for example. I would hope you consider to keep this post on record and not delete it for the good of all in our idustry.

I know the guy better than most, and like someone mentioned above that he had always treated them with the proper respect, he did me also.  But just because he treated me right, doesn't make it ok for him to do what he's done to others in the industry I also happen to like and respect.  True, he wanted something from me and went out of his way to treat me the right way, and he's probably done the same thing to hundreds of others, but you simply cannot overlook what has taken place at his feet the last few years.  Just the 2 press deal in cali is enough, then you add in Jeff in Iowa, one of our own here in Inkman, and not to mention the ones we know nothing about, trust me there's more.  He cares nothing about the industry, only doing harm to his competition and lining his pockets with cashola.   You can be one of the lucky ones who gets taken care of or you can be Hirsch, USScreen, M&R, Lowery, Planet B, Progressive, Elexon, Printex, Chinese knockoff, Rhino, RPM, Mustang, etc.  If you're in business long enough and do enough, sure you'll have your share of stinkers, but this guys track record from the day he was hired at Elexon (his printshop before that burned down...hmmm, might as well add that into the mix) has been marred by failure, deception, hate, spite, revenge, narcasism, the list goes on and on.

I will say anyone up in my neck of the woods interested in this equipment should check it out, Tee's Plus was a great company with great work ethic. Their equipment is surely good stuff. The owner here Dan is personal friends with those guys and he was shocked to find out what happened but they had some hard times in the past.

As for he that will not be named well since he is only a consultant and tech there is a good chance he can't screw anything up since it is not his actual equipment to sell. We are are even considering going to the auction for sundries and what not.

I agree, i don't think you have to use him to install anything.  So what if he gets some money out of it.  I doubt he went in and sabotaged the equipment.  He will probably try and sell you a Mustang or something while he is at it.

Oh, don't worry. If I ever need you, I will let you know.

Pretty easy homework. All you have to do "google" a name.

[Socalfmf]

I like how he said no financial gain...yeah maybe off of the auction, but what are you paying him to be there?  again...due diligence was not done here if you ask me...

One easy google search and you would see what this company and person are like.

just my .00002 cents
