GL listing errors?

n2ojunkie · Jan 31, 2009

Went and picked up a M101a1 and what we thought was a m116 with a mep-002 gen set. All went well on the pick up and the guy helping was nice enough and helped get everything. Well went out today to mess with the gen set to see whats all needed to get it running and was looking it turned out to be a mep-003. Is this normal? Should I delete this post and keep quiet? lol Or call and confirm everything? I just dont want to get everything going and get a call in 6 months wanting it back.

hmmm, tough call there, do the numbers on the stuff you picked up match the auction numbers you won??? If so i say shut your mouth and consider yourself lucky. If however the numbers don't match then you may have some other persons stuff. Then the moral dilemma begins.

n2ojunkie · Jan 31, 2009

The numbers match and He picked them out and told us which ones were ours. This is my first purchase from GL and didnt know if it was common or not. Its the one that was in the picture, the hours match, It was the only one this color listed for that auction. Also the M101 showed a tarp and bow in the pics but said it didnt come with it, When I picked it up it had everything installed. I guess I'll just be happy with what I got.

Everything I've ever bought from GL has the event and lot number on it with a black or white marker. If that info matches your paperwork you're good to go. If it doesn't you've got a moral dilemma as scooter says.

n2ojunkie · Jan 31, 2009

OK I"ll check the marker tomorrow, The orange sticker they had on it was marked right but I tore that off right away trying to keep it from marking the tarp. What about the euc? if its for a 002a and its a 003a would that make a difference?

Sounds like you got a bonus!

n2ojunkie · Jan 31, 2009

Thats what I'm hoping for

It's not like Joe to make a mistake. If the red/pink tag on unit had the correct sale & lot number then I'd also say you're good to go.
You could also compare the registration number which should be listed on your invoice with the data plate on the generator.

I don't think you'll have a problem with your EUC. I guess it could if they came looking for it but I wouldn't sweat it.

If the numbers match then you scored a sweet deal, GL has been know to screw up now and then so its not a huge surprise that they incorrectly listed something. Heck, these things have mil ID tags right on em and sometimes they don't even list what they are.

heck i call g/l at ga. thursday because one of the lots said 2 the manafest said 2 but shipping label said 1 they said has to be 1 truck we dont sell them in pairs

Well theres a M820 on GL and it has pictures of a M913... or I think it is. This is what GL says:

Well this looks like it doesnt matter what they say it is as long as the pictures and lot numbers match your ok. Thats good news, I'll double check the numbers today but sounds like I got a good deal.

319 · Feb 1, 2009

n20junkie, if you'll feel better with an MEP002A rather than the 003A, I'd be happy to trade.

n2ojunkie · Feb 1, 2009

Na thats ok but I"ll keep you in mind if I decide to trade later ;-)

Now I have my first buy out of the way I have to look for more toys, lol

bulldog_mack13 · Feb 1, 2009

The pictures dont have to match your lot that your bidding on , they can be of a battleship if the dicription and serial number is for a M35A2

319 · Feb 1, 2009

These gensets look real nice being towed behind a contact maintenance truck!

n2ojunkie · Feb 1, 2009

It fit behind my jeep pretty good also, I hooked the 101 up yesturday and it look real good also. The tires are 9-16.5's and are about the same size as whats on the jeep. I need to get some pics but its cold and I have to and get a camara.

Sounds like the pics trump the description in the reply you got but it goes on to say that they don't guarantee anything.

I'd say calling the site and asking the guys there won't get you very far either. While there are some good guys at the GL sites I don't think they know much about what they're selling.

I bought what was listed as a m35a2 a while back. After I won and got to looking at the pics a little closer and noticed what I really won was a m35a2c. I was all the more happy but had it been the other way I'd have been upset.
