My GED Brokerage Membership Was Cancelled

Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice about my experience with GED Brokerage. I've been a member since 2019 and have made a couple of successful purchases through them before.

This week, my account was unexpectedly cancelled after I couldn't complete payment for a recent winning bid. I got caught up in the excitement of the auction, but after thinking it through, I realized it wasn't the right time financially for me to make such a big purchase.

As a long-time member, I'm pretty bummed about this and would love any suggestions on how to possibly get my account reinstated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey John, sorry to hear about your account troubles. I've been with GED Brokerage for a while too, and their terms do state that not completing payment within 48 hours can lead to cancellation.

My advice would be to reach out to their customer service directly and explain your situation honestly. Sometimes if you mention personal circumstances, they might be willing to work with you. We've all had those moments of auction excitement!

For future reference, maybe set a max bid limit for yourself before jumping into an auction. I've found that helps me avoid getting carried away.

John, I feel for you, but WiseWanderer is right about the terms. Bidding without being sure you can pay does create problems for everyone.

That said, I hope you can work it out with them. We've all made impulsive decisions at some point! Let us know how it goes with customer service.

John, I had a similar situation with GED Brokerage last year! I won a bid on a beautiful Class C but then had some unexpected medical bills come up.

I called them directly, explained my situation honestly, and they were actually pretty understanding. They did charge a small reinstatement fee, but my account was back up within a couple of days.

Definitely give them a call - the direct approach worked for me!

Hey John, just wanted to chime in with support. We've all been there with auction fever!

I agree with the others - a polite phone call explaining your situation goes a long way. In my experience, GED Brokerage has decent customer service when you reach the right person.

Let us know how it turns out! Fingers crossed for you.

UPDATE: Great news everyone! I took your advice and called GED Brokerage directly. After explaining my situation, they agreed to reinstate my account with a warning and a small fee.

I really appreciate all the support and suggestions from this community. You guys are awesome! This was definitely a learning experience for me about being more careful with bidding.

Thanks again, campers!

That's fantastic news, John! So glad it worked out for you. Thanks for updating us - it's helpful for others who might find themselves in a similar situation.

Now get back to browsing those RVs (responsibly this time! 😉)

As a newbie to both RVing and this forum, I just want to say how helpful this thread has been! I hadn't even heard of GED Brokerage before, but now I'm definitely going to check them out.

And John, thanks for being so open about your experience. It's reassuring to see how supportive everyone is here.

I've had nothing but good experiences with GED Brokerage! The Fleetwood model I bought through them last year arrived in perfect condition, and the whole process was smooth.

John, I'm really glad they worked with you. It shows they value their long-term customers!

Maybe we should stop sharing all these positive reviews! If everyone finds out how good GED Brokerage is, bidding will get crazy competitive! 😄

Just kidding - sharing is caring! But seriously John, glad it worked out for you.

Let's remember we've all had moments of getting carried away. What matters is how we learn and grow from these experiences.

John, thanks for sharing your story and the resolution. It's a good reminder for all of us to think before we bid!

This is exactly why I joined this forum! Real experiences and helpful advice. Thanks everyone for being so open and supportive.

John, your experience (and the positive outcome) gives me confidence to try GED Brokerage when I'm ready to buy my first RV.

John, so happy to hear your account was reinstated! This community really came through with great advice.

To everyone else - this is a perfect example of why I love The Happy Camper Hub. People here genuinely want to help each other out.

I just want to say one more thank you to everyone who responded. You all made a stressful situation much easier to handle.

This really is the best RV community online. I'm paying it forward by being more active in helping other members when I can!

Happy camping, everyone! 🏕️
