A Good Deal?


This was faxed to me today. I can't take advantage of the deal because of cross border import concerns, not to mention $$$$. However, maybe some of you can.

www.Surplusplywood.com
Att'n John Holden 856-216-1900 x 10
truckloads available of

5/4x6x16' Trex.

Style Brazilia in Burnish Amber
Price $1.00/ft

F.O.B. Carney's Point, N.J.

Good luck. If someone makes a killing on this send me a coffee!

I wonder if these are the same clowns that go around Ontario holding building material auctions. I went to one once to see what it was all about. The bunks of Trex they had were certainly not a bargain.

Re: A Good Deal?


RUN!!!!


Legal action has been filed, from what I understand. You do NOT want to be a part of this.

It's "off market" Trex that shouldn't be sold. It has no warranty, and it's doing some serious damage to the local economy for a few deck builders (want to bid up against a guy who's paying 70% less for his decking?? but has no company backing).

Please email or call me if you need any additional information.

I wouldn't even use it on a fishing pier. My supplier offered me some old trex @ .50 per lf. when I was building my fishing pier down at the coast, "no thanks I'll take the TP @ .75"

This guys took a few loads of Trex that was suppose to be going overseas, but never made it there. When I got the fax, I asked Trex rep for this area and he said they will not warranty none of these material.

Re: A Good Deal?


Makes sense. I can't touch it anyway. With exchange, shipping, customs, etc, by the time I got it here I wouldn't save anything.

Re: A Good Deal?


yup.

Think of it as damaged material that they bought back, and it was to be unloaded overseas where it could be sold "as-is"... and someone stole it.

That kind of an analogy...
