I like that little "story" from their site.

Seemed like questions answered by more questions... I know a guy that likes to do that! LOL

I’ve been watching the banner ads for Garment Equipment Auction (GEA) since they first popped up on the SPOF Site earlier this week, and I feel really sorry for anyone who purchases used equipment from this site under the terms and conditions that they are operating under. The following information comes directly from the GEA website clearly states that the buyer has no assurance of the quality, accuracy of listing, condition, or for the non-delivery of any of the equipment that they are bidding on. There is also a total avoidance of any responsibility on the part of GEA, and no protection provided to the buyer by GEA to ensure the accuracy of the listings. I would advise anyone buying equipment from this to to use extreme care.

AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS - All machinery, equipment, merchandise and other property (collectively, “Property”) is sold "AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS" with no warranties or representations as to title, fitness of purpose, quantity, quality, merchantability, state, condition, location, value or otherwise.

GEA, Consignor and Site Owner and their Representatives shall have no liability to buyer due to non-delivery of any item for any reason other than to return to buyer the monies deposited or paid for such non-delivered items.

If a shortage exists with respect to items in a sold lot, an adjustment to the sale price may be made by GEA in GEA’s sole discretion. GEA, Consignor, and the Site Owner and their Representatives shall not be liable for any lost profits, incidental or consequential damages or the replacement value of any item.

Gee no responsibility! False representation of who and where they are! Where have I see this before? Yes Barnes is involved! No more need be said.

I really really hope people are smart enough to read above. Notice they also place the seller at no fault or responsibility at all, in other words I can post up a broken piece of machinery and simply state it is running once delivered I am clear of responsibility. The auction site does not investigate any of the equipment so we are talking one big crap shoot, also one should notice they will not accept PayPal or credit card that is because they are avoiding charges being reversed and contested. It is crazy as hell people avoid avoid avoid you will get burned eventually.

Yep Inkman, anyone getting involved with Robert Barnes of garment equipment,spider machines,mustang printers get burned or ripped off!. No doubt about it as you know first hand being one of his victims.
You are correct about them not accepting credit cards...this screams red flag!!will get burned or ripped off!

So am I the only one who has never heard of any of these "garment industry veterans"?

There are 2 rules live by when buying equipment in this industry.

1. You get what you pay for.
2. Unless you pay Robert Barnes.

tonypep · April 30th, 2012, 09:53 AM

Looks like he junked up the SPOF site with used equipment ads. Either someone found a new unsuspecting patsy who is not from this industry or he has a willing accomplice. Oh well seems like not a single reply on any of it so no matter. Doesn't say much for those who run that site though.

GraphicDisorder · April 30th, 2012, 10:04 AM

Would you expect any less/more? LOL

inkman996 · April 30th, 2012, 10:22 AM

I just can't believe their disclaimer absolves both the auction site and the actual seller of any post sale issues WTF! Holy steaming brown pile can you imagine dumping thousands of dollars on a piece and it does not even arrive or is not working as stated, and to add insult to injury not only will the seller make off like a bandit but Barnes and gang make a 15% premium.
