I'm still shocked at the EA apologists. "This happens in business"? Only if they are crooks! As someone who started and built a business, not inherited from daddy, I am quite sure screwing customers, blowing massive amounts of customer money, over leveraging the business, making promises you can't keep etc is no way to run a business.

If the business is sold, maybe I will consider purchasing from them.

Gee Mike, that was Ted's 'business plan', seems to have worked for years !;)

Two things I did when I ran my remote control energy business. ALWAYS got to clients buildings within 4 hrs and paid my suppliers, in full, every month.

Excuse me for 10 minutes while I go into the kitchen to pop some fresh popcorn. Could someone please tell me the Cliff Notes as to what is going on? I don't want to reread all 45 pages again.

As far as I'm concerned, the only people who should be complaining are those that are still owed money, and no one here knows how many people remain in that situation. Many of the loudest, squeakiest wheels have absolutely no part in any of this. They've never owned an EA product and never intended to buy from EA even before this started. Many didn't like the EA pre-pay policy and were vocal about it which is their right. Vote with your wallet ... sure!

But what we have now is a group of people who don't really care about anyone else, and only care about their own egos and confirmation bias. They're happy to see this play out the way it did because they had a grudge against EA from the outset based mostly on the pre-pay policy and lead times, and somehow this makes their fragile egos feel vindicated for not buying from EA. What a pathetic bunch! Always looking for something to complain about, the "I did it or would do it so much better crowd".

When you've run a company with more than two employees and dealt with the supply chain issues that we saw during COVID and resulting price increases, perhaps then your opinion on how to run a business matters. Until then, you're just blowing hot air and many here see it for what it is.

For anyone wanting clones of EA equipment with low risk there's always Catawba Attachments.

I agree.

In spite of this thread continuing, I'm not seeing a lot of people affected who are posting on the thread. Maybe they are saving their complaints for their lawyers.

There is Lot's of opinions and Judgements on here on this thread, very little fact.

I think it's getting time to wrap it up!

Most of "the facts" seem to be from almost a year ago now, based on Google searches. It would be interesting to have a factual update on the status of EA, the number of customers still out of pocket, court orders etc.

I literally tried to buy a grapple from them and the website did not work. A search revealed that it did not work due to the issues. I had no idea previously. You can't have confirmation bias if there was no previous bias to confirm. I had between 4 and 6 employees, most of the time 4. I ran my business during covid, dealt with guys who didn't want to work due to the extra unemployment benefits, high matl prices, slow shipping for tooling etc. I don't know what you think you know about me, but you are clearly wrong.

I joined this site because I found this thread when I could not get ahold of EA to place an order. Thank God their site did not work or I would have gotten screwed like so many others. My first post here was asking about alternatives to the EA grapple. This solely due to poor management and legal troubles caused by its owner.

Obviously I have found there are a good number of solid people here that are helpful. I visit regularly just to keep up with things, and have gotten plenty of good info from guys that are much more knowledgeable than I.

Again, this is just your opinion, not facts!
Apologies. My first post here was due my inability to place an order through the EA website, the lack of response to the email I sent, and their not answering the phone. The time-frame this occurred coincided with news reports of legal and financial issues the company was experiencing.
