Well,
Interesting reading on this forum. Found my name smeared all over the place after a friend of mine said, "did you know people were talking about you on a beer brewing forum"? Do you honestly think that I would leave my name, address, and phone number available for the general public if this was all a scam?
So to clear the air..................
This is a legitimate 32 year old, muti-million dollar business (
Hocking International Laboratories, Inc.) located in Vista, California with an additional warehouse in Glen Rock, PA. There were over 300 of these BioJet machines and some are still in action. They were designed for fermenting non-pathogenic, bio-chemical solutions for agricultural applications and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
I originally put the BioJet (a.k.a. - Beer Brewing Machine) on my Ebay site to help sell the item. A 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse had been housing these units for 10 years and it was time to sell the BioJets and downsize the warehouse. Then the company decided to disassemble them because they were too large and heavy to ship as a single unit. Now they are being sold as individual parts on Ebay (username: hocking2121). Search for "35 gallon stainless steel tank", "Laing Pump", "Magnetek Pump", "Micropump", etc. The tank is being sold with a heating element and most are being purchased to produce biodiesel. I did have one gentleman from West Virgina purchase 10 tanks to brew beer. You'll also find over 100 "Feedbacks" from happy Ebay customers.
I am the person in charge of listing all Ebay and Craigslist ads. I live 90 miles away from the Vista office so many of the tasks are delegated to the employees in Vista. If you'd personally like to see the items, you can call (760) 471-9306 and set up an appointment.
It would be nice if people would make contact with another human being before bashing a person's integrity and deciding if it's a scam or not.
The truth will set you free................so will riding a motorcycle.
Sincerely,
Paula Vidad
