Not true...how many times have you seen a lawyer give an interview about how innocent his client was and then they guy pleads guilt months later? They have a word for it "advocating" ...we call it lying

And I'm pretty sure (not a lawyer but I was a Journalism major at one point) that BMWoL and VTAIG would have to prove damages in order to successfuly pursue a lawsuit for libel. According to some sources, business has never been better for Husker, so I'm not sure this approach would hold much water. Sounds more like saber rattling to me. Still the question remains, why is this going on so long?

As strange as the story is, it sure seams real to me. Both attorneys are real, just search for them. Why would Ken pay for an attorney if he did not need it? My guess, only a guess, is that Husker is now trying to recover from their original blunders by bringing in new guns to try and seek damages.
Ken, Sorry to jump the gun when I passed on congrats earlier. Hang in there. You have a lot of people behind you. |

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ksid=p3907.m32 Up to this point, Ken has left 100% of his 145 e-bay clients with positive experiences, as both a seller and buyer of goods. I don't think he'd jeaporize 5 years of ebaying on a BS bid. He obviously recognized the great pricing on an E90 M3, and took a chance. Any reasonable ebayer has done the same. In this instance, he won. That it has reached such a crecendo of support is amazing to witness. |

saw your edit, but how do you personally know first-hand if payment was sent, but not "recieved" ??[/QUOTE]
I don't know if payment was sent or not. I was told that a Credit card was offered on Monday during a conversation and that was acceptable. Don't know the circumstances surrounding that decision. Some state Fil squashed that himself, whatever. A no condition agreement was entered into and a 72 hour deadline set. That passed and now another 72 hour deadline has been set. That is all I know and is clearly outlined in the letters that were posted by legal counsel verifying what I said earlier. BUt, clearly you are correct, I have NO knowledge of the status of funds received or not. I am sure there would be a record posted here by Ken or his council if funds were in fact received. That would certainly verify the truth here. After my visit, believe me they want the car gone and for Ken to get it. The other "libeil" matter with the local Husker Auto Group counsel letter was news to me and clearly as outside this deal happening as the talk of retreiving legal fees from Husker when this is over. Different matters. Lets get the deal done first. Jeff |

Am I the only one to notice...
Am I the only one to notice that Husker is making a big deal about Dooma's choice of going with a lease ... but the leasing company Dooma's using (leasecompare) is listed on the financing section of the auction page?
Also, there's some conflicting verbiage about dates on the auction (emphasis mine): But then in the next section it says: With conflicting information, you have to give the buyer the longest time period mentioned. Dooma's made good faith efforts from what I can see ... and he's even using an approved financing source. The dealer's legal eagles are trying to muddy the issue by saying Duma isn't holding up his end of the bargain ... but the truth is printed in black and white in the auction page itself ... and can't be denied. Here's the link to the auction for reference. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...233277471&rd=1 Scroll down to the "Financing" and "Terms" sections. |

Ken has been very methodical and ethical in his postings. I don't think he has anything to worry about. The crafters of the videos, posters, images, etc. that portray one of the parties (along with the vioce-over with clear intent) may not be as insulated. With 2 experienced attorneys representing a subsidiary entity of a company with hundreds of millions in assets perusing these forums, I'm hoping to assist in minimizing the exposure risk of the well intentioned. |

With the vB software doesn't the entire thread self-erase after 999,999 views?

Been watching all week. This has been my entertainment while at work. Anyone notice that the new "deadline" takes us to April 1st? Eh, I'm still eager to see how this turns out.
Also I found out why Ebay hasn't responded: http://time-blog.com/work_in_progres...carpet_sk.html |

The Lincoln Journal Star had this in their article: "In an interview Tuesday, Tanisaka’s lawyer, Scott Tepper, said he couldn’t comment because discussions with the dealership were still going on.So they at least talked to Tepper. I can not think of how a reputable attorney could play along with a hoax. Hopefully Ken can get us an update soon. Good luck Ken. |

All the speculations as to who Ken is, is this a fictional account, fake attorney interviews, plots, etc. are quite an interesting hypothesis, but as stated previously, quite doubtful considering Ken's 5 year Ebay history, the 145 verifiably smooth transactions, the national exposure, dealer/attorney interviews, offers and counteroffers, and the like.
What I surmise has happened is that, considering the advanced negotiation stages, stance, inferences, monitorings, internet vigilantes, and the like that has transpired, perhaps it has been advised that postings within this medium may be misinterpreted and thusly used later. Official statements have set C.O.B. Monday as the cutoff date. Now this is purely speculatory on my part, but perhaps then we may here something. Keep in mind that there are very real lives involved with very real consequences if law isn't followed to the "T". Before the conspiracy theorists poison the outpouring of support witnessed, I'd like to simply offer the preceeding point of view. Last edited by advancedlogic; 03-29-2008 at 12:43 AM.. Reason: striking of "is a" with "there are", "that" in favor of "the preceeding", "witnessed" in place of "witness" |

Is the dealership looking for an out? You have read the same pages as me and have come to a different conclusion. One thing is for sure, none of us reading all this really know the true story. I'm sure none of the parties involved could give a 100% accurate recall of everything that has happened as the mind twists things during a heated battle and recollection can be selective. I do know if I had gone through what Ken has I would be fed up long ago and would have no desire to purchase this vehicle. |
