Well... what can I say but make it short ...
Timeline...
i) Sent cashiers check of $2500 end of Jan 06...
a) check was cashed in 5 days....
ii) I stupidly did not make it an immediate point to pick up the guitar... waited to schedul FedEx till the middle of May 06... (work, travelling, other guitars coming in, etc.).. my big mistake!
ii) June 14th, after nine failed attempts, (unfortuantely some bad scheduling on my part), no guitar on my doorstep or perhaps the other doorstep, I was informed that the deal was off and my money was being sent back in two weeks... I was told I disrespected Robbin delaying shipment and not informing and just downright selfish..
iii) I apologized at first, asked to reconsider, to no avail.. money would be sent..
iv) 6mths and several e-mails later, no money...
v) Approximately 7-10th day of Dec. called the Glen Carbon, IL police dept. explained the story, they new of Pat Stangler, not in a good way.. Officer called Pat, determined a schedule was being made for a pickup.
vi) E-mail sent to me, pick a day... I did once FedEx let me know..
vii) Picked day, scheduled pickup, no FedEx.. no box. Was informed by e-mail from Pat that now it would be $500 to get it..
viii) Called Officer, he called Pat again, screaming match ensued but next day pickup was scheduled at the threat of a Federal Charge for stolen property.
ix) FedEx, with the officers 'on the phone' help, picked up guitar.
x) I picked up guitar from FedEx 2hrs ago, 7pm.
Here's is what I received when I opened the box.... and to think that I was told I disrespected Robbin! I wonder what this is called then!
= UNDERSTATEMENT!!!!!
... Take NOTE that there is:
- NO Robbin Crosby SIGNATURE PLATE!
- NO ENVELOPE with:
signed letter.
factory certificate.
RATT patch.
I guess there is no more to say.
