Hmm, I wonder if this really is Barron Thomas on the forum?
Anyway, my history w/ Mr Thomas as follows:
1) I was selling a plane in 2006, advertised via all the standard mediums and thought to myself, hey lemme call this Barron Thomas guy. Left a couple of messages, no call back. Couple weeks later, I spoke with one of his reps, then still no follow up from them. Finally, a week later, night prior to me flying the plane up to show the eventual purchaser I got a call back. WOW...talk about a lowball. I literally laughed at the offer. Barron Thomas offered me $102k. Just to put it in perspective I sold the plane $175k.
Yeah, I know he's in the biz to make money, no crime here, but funny at the very least!
2) Last week I see an ad for a plane on his website. I leave a message, no returned phone call. I leave another message, I get a returned call with a promise of an e-mail with more info on the plane. No e-mail yet.
3) Also last week, I talk to an individual about planes I'm considering. He tells me he saw a plane on Barron Thomas website I might be interested. I say, yeah, I'll give them another call. He then says, hey if you talk to Barron, would you tell him I'm still waiting for a refund of a deposit that he owes me?
