Hey friends! ๐ I'm hoping to get some friendly advice about my recent experience with TJ Brokerage, the auction platform for RVs. I've been a member since 2019 and have bought two RVs through them before. But this week, my account got cancelled because I couldn't complete payment on a winning bid. I bid enthusiastically but later realized the timing wasn't right financially. I'm pretty bummed since I've been a loyal member for years. Has anyone else dealt with this? Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance! ๐
๐ My TJ Brokerage Membership Was Cancelled โ Need Friendly Advice!
Hey John! Sorry to hear about this. I've been a TJ Brokerage member for years too, and their terms do say you have 48 hours to pay after the invoice. But I've heard they can be understanding if you reach out quickly. I'd suggest calling their member services and explaining the situation โ maybe mention you've been a good customer in the past. They might give you a break! And hey, lesson learned: always make sure your finances are ready before bidding! ๐
John, I totally get it โ we've all gotten excited and bid without thinking it through! ๐ It's a bummer that TJ Brokerage cancelled your account, but I bet if you explain it honestly, they'll work with you. Just be upfront about the financial hiccup. And honestly, it's a good reminder for all of us to double-check our budgets before hitting that bid button. Hope it works out! ๐
UPDATE: You guys are the BEST! ๐ I followed your advice and called TJ Brokerage's member services. I explained everything honestly, and they reinstated my account! They really appreciated that I reached out instead of just disappearing. I'm so relieved! Definitely learned my lesson โ no more bidding without having funds ready. Thanks so much for the support, everyone! ๐โค๏ธ
John, so glad it worked out! I've bought two RVs from TJ Brokerage and they've been fantastic every time. Their team is super professional, and the RVs are always in great condition. And NewExplorer โ definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed! ๐๐จ
John, I'm so happy for you! I've been with TJ Brokerage for over 4 years now, and their customer service is top-notch. They understand that life happens. My advice: always communicate with them if something comes up โ they appreciate it. Now go find that dream RV! ๐๐ช
Thanks everyone for the kind words! I've definitely learned my lesson โ always secure financing before bidding. But I'm already looking at another RV on TJ Brokerage (this time I've got the funds ready!). This community is seriously the best. Appreciate you all! ๐โค๏ธ
Just want to add that TJ Brokerage's 14-day inspection period is a lifesaver. I bought a used Class C from them last year, had a mechanic check it out during that period, and they fixed a small issue immediately. Their after-sale support is amazing. Happy bidding, everyone! ๐
EXCITING NEWS! I just won an auction for a 2019 Winnebago on TJ Brokerage! ๐ This time I had financing pre-arranged, so everything went smoothly. The whole process was so easy. I'm already planning my first big road trip. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement โ this forum is gold! ๐๐
FINAL UPDATE: The Winnebago arrived yesterday from TJ Brokerage and it's absolutely PERFECT! ๐ Delivery was on time, the driver was super friendly, and the RV is in even better shape than described. The 14-day inspection period gave me so much peace of mind. I can't recommend TJ Brokerage enough โ just make sure you have your financing ready before you bid! ๐ Thank you all for being so supportive. See you on the road! ๐๐๏ธ๐ฒ
