Hi guys,
I haven't posted for a while, but I've been reading the posts every other day, went through ALL of them.
The Brunners made tons of money in real estate in the US, and we paid for all the farms that he purchased not too far from the coast with our money. So I'm sure they still have a big retirement plan...
I agree that initially, the intentions might have been honest, but like Planb said, if they are not willing to buy grown trees at half-price, the future does not look good for us. My wife and I don't have that much invested, but we do own 1993 and younger trees. Beside the first thinning reports we got several years ago, we got a big fat 0 since then.
I've been to CR 10 years ago and I did see some of my trees. The beach is nice, the horse riding is fun (and almost dangereous), but I don't want to spend more money going there and probably not being able to get in touch with them to visit the trees again.
Bottom line, let's ask ourselves how we ended on this board? We are not happy!!
I know personally I would have been happy getting thinning reports and proceeds after 16 years of waiting and probably buying more trees if TATF were doing their job!
