I was at a little mom and pop auction last Saturday and won a Hardinge DV-59 lathe loaded with tooling for $200.00, that was including their 5 percent buyer’s premium!
I had talked to the owner of the shop and made arrangements to pickup the machine on this Saturday, when I called today he informed me that the landlord changed the locks on the doors and would not let anybody in unless they pay $1500.00 for rent!
I need some advice on who to try and get my money back from and what legal recourse I may have if being a nice guy doesn’t work.
I was smart enough to get all the tooling off the machine after the auction ended, (I’ve had items come up missing under the watchful eyes of auctioneers in the past), but that still doesn’t help as I have the tooling and no machine.
Please any advice would be appreciated, thanks Kevin.
