Hi everyone, Im looking for some advice I sold a d8 to a someone they paid for the dozer 6 months ago and then have never came back to get it. anytime theres contact between us its always from my side. last I talked to him he was coming to get it end of nov beginning dec and never came. I canceled vacation plans so I could be there and never showed or contacted me. ive sent several emails in the last few weeks and got no reply. the machine needs to go as its wore out its welcome in its current parking area, and im not paying to move a machine and store a machine that isn't mine. any advice as how to proceed with this from other members that may have had a similar situation happen to them. thanks for your time.

Call leave a message e mail him to so he can't say you didn't try give him a date to get it gone by. Tell him if it's not gone your going to resale it and charge him for all the time you stored it plus a resale fee. He probably found out what it cost to move it and doesn't have the money how much did you sell it for.

fallow Steve's idea , but get a legal storage lien on it also , and it will take all of his rights away and then you are free to resale it and get payed twice and it will cover all of your troubles.

Check your state's laws concerning abandoned equipment and lien sale to take possession. Since you did not have any storage or pickup terms on paper you might not have many options. Definitely email the buyer that you are taking legal action.

You want to do this right so you don't end up in court. Most states only allow you a given amount of storage days you can charge before they receive legal notice. And those legal notices can change when the value is over $2500 or their about, depending on your state. Some states even require you to have a bond to enforce a lien. You might search and see if there is a lien service you can hire in your state.

Try calling his local police or sheriffs dept. explain the situation and have them check if he is still at his residence address that he gave you.

Do a search, find his wife's phone and tell her he owns it.

Seriously, Maybe try a certified letter. Always a chance that there is a valid reason he never got back to you. Someone would be picking up his mail if something happened to him. I would expect that if he found out it cost to much to move, he would be contacting you and trying to get you to buy it back, or help him find another buyer.

I understand that you are aggravated about it. I'm sure you're being as nice as you can and they probably appreciate it. Hope there hasn't been a death there.

Hope your situation works out. My issue here is just opposite; I don’t know why I was such a hardass about it, but after dealing with one flake too many I do what I think is right:
Had a 17a buyer give me a non refundable deposit; he wants tractor before he paid in full; I say NO WAY; he insists I let him have it so he can ship to Mexico; I still say NO; Balance of money owed and you can do whatever “floats your boat”....
Now, he says his wife won’t let him buy it, boohoo, my goldfish drowned, he wants tractor still let me have it..... I SAID NO! $ talks, I didn’t make the deal with your wife...
On his receipt, it stated non refundable, and he had XX number days (months) to pay or lose out on a good tractor.....now the “sniveler says I want my deposit back because I found an identical one blah blah blah..”
And now ladies and gentlemen, you know why Juiceman doesn’t get very excited about selling anything!

Hey juiceman,
Welcome to the ”Brave New World”. At one time a persons word and or handshake sealed the deal. That is not the case anymore. Too many reasons to list as to why that is, but I’m sure you and I would agree on a whole lot of them. 👍:usa2:

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
