  • Alex=Buyers Beware!!

    This is in no way intended to start any bs or sh*tstorm & I've been very hesitant to post this but,after much thought,felt I should so no other members get taken as I did!!

    I replied to Alex' Classifieds post on 2/7 saying I'd buy his Bullseye #6018,after some discussion,he replied,done deal,no problems!!

    Alex recieved my check in two days & said he'd ship the guitar soon & send me a tracking #!!Cool!!

    A few days later,no info,no tracking #!! I asked,what's up??!! He said he was having trouble getting a box to ship it in,I said that I understood as I know how difficult it can be to get one sometimes!! He assured me he'd ship it soon!!

    A few days later,no info,no tracking#!!I ask again,what's up??!! He says he's still having trouble finding a box,hasn't cashed my check yet,I said no problem,please let me know & send me a tracking # as soon as it's shipped!! He assured me he'd ship it soon!!

    A few days later,no info,no tracking #!! Again I ask,what's up??!!No reply!!Next day he apologized & said he'd been working late but will get a box in a day or so & ship the guitar,but understands if I want to back out(??!!),I said no problem(though at this point I was very frustrated!!)!!

    A few days later,no info,no tracking #!!Again I ask,what's up??!! He apologized & said the box he got was too small & he'd would get another that weekend & ship the guitar overnight!! I'm thinking "finally!!" as it had now been over two weeks!!

    Monday,no guitar,no tracking #,no info!!

    Tuesday,no guitar,no tracking #,no info!!

    I ask what's up??!!He replies:

    "I know you're going to think I'm an a**hole,but I decided to keep her.
    Anyway I'm sorry,but I can't let her go.I Fedexed your check back along with a little extra something."

    I did recieve my check back plus a whopping $10.00 extra for all the frustration & disappointment!!Ugghh!!

    Again,not intended to start any bs,simply just a heads-up/buyer beware so no other members get taken!!

    Thanx,Chuck

      Bro. That sucks. I am sorry you didn't get your guitar. I know how much you regretted selling your and was so happy to get one back.
      I can understand having seller's remorse...but you still need to follow through with a sale, especially if you advertised the guitar for sale.
      Sorry bro...hope another pops up soon for ya.
      For now, enjoy the HRF!!

        Damn... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

        Sorry Chuck, certainly an issue after a couple of weeks of [img]/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img] And to think I was gonna jump on that one, but for some unknown reason, I didn't...

        What if you would have had to sell a beloved piece in order to get the funds for it? Now, you'd be out your prize axe and left with nothing....

        Sad to hear man, very sad...

                  Man, I'm sorry to hear about that Chuck. On the optimistic side though, at least he did send your money back. I can see the good and bad in this deal.
                  Alex, that's no way to do biz bro. Your honesty in returning the funds is to be complimented, but your excuses and being fickle in the deal sucks. [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

                      Ahh, just speculation on my behalf. Could be someone may have needed cash, posted a JCF sale being in the need during a tight spot and when the money situation died down, had a change of heart and second thoughts on going through with business.
                      Much like getting a short term and for the most part interest free loan.

                        Or maybe someone offered him substantially more for it
                        after the deal was done?
                        Backdoored on the board?
                        I hope not [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]
