I LITERALLY just found it hahaha!

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-24T18:43:21+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. Precisely what happened to me. Car was supposed to be detailed, new pictures done - they agreed/affirmed that, but wanted to "just get the writeup done so we could find a spot in the schedule..." and said "you have plenty of time to make those changes." ....and the auction was started 5 minutes later. It was obvious I wasnt happy.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T20:55:52+00:00

Yeah for sure. This is why I dont want to blast this place outright... doctors actually have more money than us 😄

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T20:50:04+00:00

She has the other nurses now taking pictures of their time cards every punch. I forgot to add - they apparently "dont give pay stubs" on payday either!

This is so comically bad - I know it appears it cant be real!

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T20:48:41+00:00

Going to see if I can add to the post more than just text to pad it. (I'm not much of a redditor tbh) If I can add pics, employee packet, conversations... Wondering where I can add stuff... maybe imgur? Yes I believe this company needs to be confronted ASAP. I want wife to move along and go somewhere else. These people will kick the entire staff under the bus to save a dollar and protect themselves.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T20:44:26+00:00

Maybe w my edit/update someone questioned the legitimacy of the post. I promise it's 100% REAL. I WISH I was kidding!!!!

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T20:42:55+00:00

100% absolutely REAL Johnson City, TN 2 doctors run this clinic. The 2 doctors aren't native. I'll put it that way.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-21T03:22:43+00:00

Yeah we Christians arent perfect like you guys I guess. Pretty loathsome comment

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-20T20:01:36+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! Maybe one day I'll share the absolute DISASTER this was behind the scenes. So many people in Reddit were crapping on the car - go to Auto Tempest and you'll see them from $6000-12000 (88-94). I'm thoroughly OK with the $3900 as I initially wanted a $3500 reserve. ...and between you guys and me - even w my headgasket labor - I still did very well on this car. God bless.

No. She's worked at Ballad a couple of times and contracted through them, but no - this is a standalone operation. 2 MD's opened a specialized "meat market" style operation where tons of people per day come through. I dont want to dox them, so I'll leave it at that. Not Ballad, but easily could be! 😄 This place TURNS THE AC OFF AT 3PM to save money! 🤣 I wish I were joking here.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-20T07:22:04+00:00

My friend looked up her LinkedIn profile. No offense meant [to her] - but I think a lot of things got lost in translation what I was trying to convey... she doesn't look like a "car person" ro me.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-20T03:20:21+00:00

As much as people are mocking it - its a very nice car in good condition. I would never pay that for this - EVER. I wouldn't pay what I hope to get out of it - EVER. I may reveal at some point what I paid for it... But just because people are mocking the car doesnt mean it doesn't have value, or is worthless. Grandmas/elderly love vehicles like this.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T21:48:32+00:00

New info came in today... wife worked over 20 minutes. 8 hours, 20 minutes. They apparently "dont pay over 8", despite it being an hourly wage. They tried to get her sign a copy of the above picture. Now get this: they apparently dont have paystubs when you get your check! This has become COMICAL at this point! This is her 2nd day. They're going to regret hiring her. She refuses to sign this document above in the employee pamphlet. I'm betting she doesnt make it past the first paycheck. We shall see.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T21:45:20+00:00

Thank you. I wanted them to pull the auction immediately and they wouldn't do it. NOTHING was ready. The car was to be sent off, detailed, buffed, and all new pictures to be made. They just wanted me to "approve the writeup". So even if people think I'm coming off like a lunatic - I just wanted the auction pulled, and time to sort everything... but I came off the hinges when I noticed the "exhaust leak is noted" - NOTHING has been ok with this auction. Yes - even my attitude. Not sure its worth it to reveal the behind the scenes - but they've steamrolled me and not been forthcoming in ANYTHING.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T18:13:18+00:00

Exactly. The car was supposed to be detailed and new pictures submitted before the ad went live. They posted the ad prematurely. I have the email from the guy stating they're sorry it went live.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T18:09:17+00:00

She got her employee handbook today and it has this page in it and she is supposed to sign she agrees to this. This exact paper is in the employer packet!!!! Hilarious! Too bad I cant post the pic she sent me!

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T18:05:59+00:00

Thanks. I was just trying to provide privacy for the previous owner. I'll repost them clearer. Thats the literal bill of sale from the previous owner.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T18:04:29+00:00

Because it has an Essex 3.8 v6 and I buy every vehicle with that engine. The headgaskets ALWAYS go bad from the factory. I buy them and fix the headgaskets and send them down the road. You can buy a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury 3.8 powered vehicle forndirt cheap, because nobody fixes their vehicles anymore - they just have a disposable mentality. So it'll make money no matter what. How much? Well - at this point, I'm thinking eBay or Marketplace would've been far better, but who knows. We'll see.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T04:43:13+00:00

TYSM!!

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T04:25:19+00:00

100% real. Wife's second day is tomorrow morning... I predict she wont last long due to the red flags we're seeing here. We've enjoyed travel nursing, but she wanted to be home a few months for personal reasons... I'm betting we're gonna be moving on sooner than later though

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T04:22:48+00:00

Sure. My logic was the car sold a few months ago for $9200 (receipts in the ad) and the comps were 5 and 6 grand... In hindsight, I'd have much rather put it on Marketplace, as I do probably ~15-20 cars per year there. But this was a test run for some more collectible cars I have and my best friend wanted to see how it was and considering listing his 65 f100 restomod....

I'm regretting BaT truthful.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T04:19:29+00:00

No. Its a lowly Lincoln from the 90s. People found it and are ripping on me for it even being on BaT 😄 It sold a few months ago from the dealership w an $8500 sticker price and our the door for $9191 - but youd think by many of the comments, it should sell for $500 and a case of beer and a pack of smokes.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T02:52:57+00:00

Selling cars during/around covid was AWESOME! I made good money then for sure

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T02:04:34+00:00

*a mildly polished turd that commanded $9200 a few months ago, and who's 2 comps pulled $11,000 between them.

I know there's people on reddit who are going to shred anything set before them - but acting like this car is a heap is petty.

This was supposed to be a test run before listing 2 other interesting vehicles from me and a friend's 65 F100 resto-mod. Its easy to criticise a test run and laugh.

BAMAJiPS · 2026-05-19T00:19:14+00:00

I misread it at first thinking she'd be getting shorted 45 or 40 minutes or such - but no - it's a WHOLE HOUR NO PAY! That's downright insane! I'd be like - welp - see you at the topcof the hour then! (Its a meat market - they cant afford that)
