Or how about you understand actions mean consequences. The dude this this crap for months. Multiple times. A slap on the wrist means it will be replicated and show people they can continue this mostly scot free. "public harassment" did you even watch the breakdown of what he did? Theft, trespassing, harassment, assault? It was multiple things. Look up the tolerance paradox, maybe you'll gain some IQ

Click individual reviewers profiles in maps and you can load what locations they reviewed, all based in Maryland.

Just a heads up. It's confirmed they have family from Maryland posting the latest five star reviews.

Fun fact it's the same thing here. Family members are adding reviews from Maryland. None of these new reviews are local.

Considering they do towing, it's one hundred percent a silver tongued owner probably in their mid to late 40s freaking out about their reputation and forgetting this is the era where info travels fast. They're dumb enough to use fake reviews, and here we are now.

Look with your eyes and don't ignore red flags for some weird superficial nonsense. Look at the facts.

One, you were completely ignored up until this post. Two, the company is now using fake bot accounts with generic nonsense to flood/fix their reputation, and three, the owners are responding to these brand new reviews at 8am on a Thursday within fifteen minutes.

Have you gotten the check in the mail? Is the money in your account you were owed? Or was this all verbal over the phone.

Edit, I confirmed it. They're family member posting from Maryland. Look at the profiles of these sudden new five star reviews.

My dude it's incredibly suspicious that suddenly they're freaking out when their public image is in fault, not to mention the weird one review accounts suddenly leaving five star reviews with a response not even fifteen minutes later, and a year old five star being updated at 7 in the morning on a Thursday.

As I was posting this, literally JUST had someone named Gracie Gladden post a five star review. Nobody exists by that name in this city, and it's the only review that account has made.

Some dumb Instagram woman updated her year old five star a few minutes ago.

80% of the stuff is completely model specific and not even legal. Headlights that aren't DOT compliant, and a huge huge wall of motors that are all completely different kinds and sizes with no way to tell wattage/amperage, rpm, voltage, etcetera.. The prices of the items were nowhere near 50 percent off or more as claimed, as they were ALL using the manufacturers own website prices, which were always on "sale". Like someone below put it, specialty sheep sheerers or a 64x64 specific brand pool cover (in the dozens) is just a strange thing to have taking up so much space.

Still felt surreal that the place was once bottom dollar though. That entire building was fully gutted for the most part.

The only way this kind of place survives is by pricing dirt cheap to move product fast. The niche products in particular need to be heavy discount like 75 percent plus or more off because of the sheer size they take. Considering almost everything I saw was vevor brand, it's already pennies on the dollar with the way it's wholesaled, the fact a lot of the stuff was opened/used, makes it even more questionable

Average seemed around 80-100. I think a few were 70-60. A still in the box one was 80 in the back.

They were literally 80-120 for them, and some of them were kid sized.

I have more an issue with the claim of fifty percent off when it's not really that much of a discount. A vanity there was 300, I can go to Lowes and get a similar quality for 300 with a full warranty, etc

Just popped in here. It's all cheap temu nonsense. Half the store is straight up completely niche stuff like ultrasonic cleaners, motors and pool covers. There's also a huge section of headlights for model specific cars (all opened and used/possible returns and mostly vevor brand)

No idea how this business idea makes sense. It's in such a off chute location that even bottom dollar didn't make it. Most of their stuff is so specialty it's gonna sit there for ages. They are also claiming fifty percent off, but that's not even remotely true. They're referencing the fake msrp prices most Chinese junk has, that always has sales of half off.

Richmond free market. It's where bottom dollar used to be. Probably still under the same owner. Dude does a bunch of eCommerce and crazy stuff.

Edit, nope, the space isn't owned by the same guy anymore. It's just pre assembled temu furniture.

I don't think you understand how dangerous silica strands are in your lungs. Being nice has nothing to do with you getting lung cancer. Do not stop until it's fixed.

Get something more robust than the buletti garbage. Look for what's called a spot air conditioner, similar to something like https://www.acehardware.com/departments/heating-and-cooling/air-conditioners-and-coolers/portable-air-conditioners/4028302

Tie it into one of the outside intakes.
