- Product Issues

- Resolved
I purchased and paid for a *********** and trailer. Cranky Ape will not provide title. I have spoken with them about this and have not received anything except excuses. They have dragged this out for a year, I have to contact them and they only offer excuses. I have also spoken to *********** and Wildlife who informed me to file criminal charges. I have incurred expense of storage and other costs for a boat that I could not use. This is very upsetting and could have been resolved in lieu of losing a customer and gaining a criminal complaint to State of TexasBusiness response

Back in the fall of 2023, we purchased three items from cranky ape auctions. We paid and picked up the items within the allotted week. We then waited for our titles in the mail and have yet to receive them as of March 23, 2024. We have spoke too many people about the about the problem. We were finally put in touch with an individual at the corporate office of cranky ape, and has assured me the problem will be taken care of. Five weeks later, we have still not heard anything or seen the titles and the office staff refuses to have me talk with him. The first purchase was in September and cannot get any help with receiving . The cranky staff that answers the incoming calls are absolutely unhelpful.Business response

As of this afternoon, **************** and I have spoken at length and are currently in negotiations for compensation. We've taken ownership of this issue and are making changes to our process and personnel in order to prevent this from happening again.Initial Complaint

Cranky Ape is an on line auction house. I was bidding on an item, and, and wanted to ensure that I was the highest bidder, so I raised my maximum bid. However, when I did so, it also raised the current bid amount. That means that they are allowing me to bid against myself, only to raise the amount of money that they receive. This is un ethical, and I have NEVER had an auction house, either in person or online, raise the amount to let someone bid against themselves.Business response
