Has anybody purchased meat/seafood from the back of a pick-up truck ? The truck has a freezer in the back. The driver said he has 1,000 customers in TV. Advise.

most likely a sham.

Remember that door-to-door sales people are against TV regulations.

Time was when we used to buy fresh veggies from a similar vendor. Time was at least 25 yars ago!

Probably the only time to buy something out of the back of a pick-up is in West Virginia. And then the purchase should come in a clear glass jug.

How can they regulate selling out of a truck if the truck is on a county road?
Is it a county regulation?

Thats not very nice to say about West Virginia.

Thats the best place to buy moonshine. You read something into the statement that was not there.

It is ok to sell out of a truck but don't believe a thing the guy says. We had them come around in Tampa........maybe looking to get a glimpse inside your house.

I never bought moonshine, so I guess I leave it at that.

IMHO - Personally, I don't believe it when somone throws out an arbitrary number of customers. I would feel much safer in buying from the supermarket where there is a known controlled environment.

I would tend to think if he had so many customers, someone from this site would have already vouched for this person and said they were OK.

I have always had two rules when it came to home solicitations....I never buy anything at the front door or on the phone unless I originated the transaction! Call me distrustful but if I know I just don't do those things I don't have to guess whether it is legit or not.

.......Had a Lady stop by today about 5 ish....She had a Full-size van with HUGE decals with the name "DIRECT Something". ...IF we bought a "CASE of steaks" she would throw in a "CASE of seafood"......After getting permission from da boss...... I was allowed to let the nice saleslady in the house.
...OK...heres the deal...the CASE LOT of steaks along with the CASE of seafood would be only $ 755.00 Because she was GIVING us the seafood.

...intense price negotiations took place for the next ten minutes......

....AT THAT POINT ...her final offer became......"OK.... TWO of the $ 755. CASES of assorted steaks along with the "free" $ 500. CASE of seafood for only $ 375. total price"......Did we buy ....NOPE.
