While crying about the thousands of dollars I'm STILL owed by AVForSale, I cruised over to the BBB page for their company and looked at the unanswered complaints section - http://www.bbb.org/atlanta/business-...ints#breakdown
My complaint is the oldest one at the bottom, and there are two additional complaints describing almost EXACTLY the same scenario I went through.
What emerges is that AVForSale is running a pretty straightforward scam on unsuspecting AV companies from out of state. The scam goes as follows:
AVForSale signs an agreement to sell your equipment for a 35% commission on eBay, accepts the equipment to be liquidated, proceeds to sell all the equipment. Then they send you a small fraction of the total payment owed to you (in my case, about 15%) and claim to be having cash flow issues. Most people are inclined to believe them, as I was.
They drag this out for months, and then stop responding. They now screen all their calls and have changed locations twice since I contracted with them.
While I am no closer to getting my money back, it's reassuring that I'm not the only victim.
Please avoid this company and let others know to do the same.
