If it's too good to be true...

Bummer.

That makes me wonder if the Hope diamond I bought out of Africa for my wife is real or not

Where did that honda generator go that was for sale in the classifieds

You got scammed cuz I bought the Hope diamond at Sam's Club.

Karma.

I might fall in a rush.

I had one in the classifieds for a while. A Honda 2800. Thought I had it sold, but the buyer could never seem to come get it or meet me, so I just decided to keep it. I did a long term storage service, per Honda directions, put it under a cover, and there she sits till I need it. I would swap it for a Honda 2200 Companion. I’ll put that in the Classifieds, for what it’s worth. Can’t hurt.

Why you trading down? Portability? Digame.

I can’t pair up the 2800 with my 2200. I need a 2200i Companion model to pair up with my existing 2200i to get to 30 amps for my TT. I could sell the 2800 and then buy the 2200 I need, but I tried that once before and the buyer kept delaying the sale, so I decided to keep the 2800 for now. Probably a very small chance anyone would want the reverse of what I want, but I might as well bring up the option.

It really isn’t that big a deal, since the times I need 30 amps from a generator are few and far between. Still, it would be good to have the setup if I did need it.

I see them on FB a lot. Generators and fish finders at too good to believe prices. Hopefully they did not put his CC to other uses like some of the scammers on FB.

Your friend was planning to gouge people in need when he himself was essentially gouged....the irony is rich.

NIB.

Equals Red flag 🚩

Exactly what I was thinking

Meh. Ant and the grasshopper.

You all are missing the point of this post, "Buddy of mine..."

Ok...yup "Asking for a friend"

Just hacking on you....sorry "he" got took.

Only way to get a deal On a Honda is it fell off back of truck, dealer closing or you become a dealer.

Last option is the smarter option

"He's an electrician and was planning on flipping them to residential customers during the next grid outage." You have no idea how warm and fuzzy it makes me feel inside to hear of a "flipper" getting burned...

I recall a quote along the lines of "you can't cheat an honest man, but if the fella has a bit of larceny in his heart, then you can rob him blind". Wish I could remember where I read it.

With a little bit of research you will find that in how most con games work.

Then why don't you buy some and sell them at a loss when the are needed? Nowhere has it been said anyone was going to take a ridiculously outrageous profit by buying generators, housing them, storing them, taking the risk of loss and everything else just so they can be on hand when people might need them and be willing to buy them.

Some people on here forget how capitalism and supply and demand work.

"There’s a saying that you can’t cheat an honest man. That’s because an honest man won’t fall for con games but dishonest people will, and that’s exactly how con artists fleece unsuspecting victims."
