caserri Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can't tell you anything about his business dealings outside of this forum but I will say this, he is not a friend of TVF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm kinda getting the idea that he's ripped people off? I've learned to heed the advice of you that have the experience. Figured it was to food to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I talked to him on the Phone, He claimed to be running out of Texas; Said he had 40,000 Northwestern machines, and over 4000 Locations. I was impressed. Didnt do any business with him though although he wanted to buy some of what I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Seems to be the going opinion! Lol! Sucks because 69.00 shipped to your door isn't bad for a northwestern. But, I used to think uturn was the best! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Duck Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Seems to be the going opinion! Lol! Sucks because 69.00 shipped to your door isn't bad for a northwestern. But, I used to think uturn was the best! Lol The 100 ct. price for BRAND NEW Northwesterns is $64.25 ea. and you can configure them the way you want and get to name a key code.

Dmkraz Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I talked to him on the phone once about purchasing a used machine but his price was the same as a new one so I didn't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could afford to buy 100 I would be set! All my Uturns wouldn't be just cut down to 4's, they would be replaced and I would have all kinds of locations! LOL Locations aren't the problem, just money for equipment. Good equipment! But that's good to know! the guy bought some equipment from me on ebay not sure why if he is that big. Good question!

Rick Falcon Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I have spoken to Scott plenty of times but if you go on his website you could see that everything he sells is over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ska173 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Scot is the epitome of Big Hat no cattle....we are still trying to get a refund from a large order of machines we made with him in October of 2013. We did get some equipment and it wasn't all terrible but it was not worth the time, effort, and ultimately money. His optimism and eagerness out gains his competency and capabilities by a wide margin. We hoped to have an ally in the industry and that was certainly not the case. Avoid Scot and all his dealings and spend your hard earned money elsewhere. If you want more specifics PM me and I will divulge more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Seems to be the going opinion! Lol! Sucks because 69.00 shipped to your door isn't bad for a northwestern. Just to present you with options: I know you were looking for NW's. But, Oak Vistas and A&A PO89's are great machines, too. And you can get them BRAND NEW shipped to your door for around the same $69 (in some cases even less). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thank you guys, that's what I needed to know. Ska, thank you for the info, that's kind of what I figured. Sherlock, I'm not necessarily looking for just NW, I'm just looking for consistently getting good priced equipment. I've been buying oak to replace my uturns, starting work rack locations. It just takes more to buy the better equipment than I get from my uturns, lol. Thanks everyone, that's all I needed to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodney69 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Just curious, why see so many people selling their NW singles? It's it because they cost to much for the mech's? Or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncyBalls Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Selling mine because I bought a route last summer and did some consolidating and some pulling of charities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsidney Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 He has been picking up a lot of 9 way blue nw racks in tn around me.. Some have been in back rooms of stores for over a year empty. I had more than one location just bust them up and toss them, they offered to sell to me but I have enough machines sitting in storage. I thought he may have went out of business or something because a few years back he found me on here and called wanting to buy some used equipment I had.. Funny talk as I returned his call and was telling him what I had and he just abruptly cuts me off and ask my address because he wants to send me a company calendar! Says he sends his company's calendar to thousands of people all over the world! I was just dumbfounded as to the turn of the conversation and thought I was either getting "punked" or he was drunk or something so I just said call me when you are needing anything. Did get calendar though! My parakeet loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
