I sometimes visit this norwegian general guitar/music forum and there was another member who had a guitar for sale that I had been kind of into. He was pretty desperate to sell and after a while the price went down, then another while even further down, so I jumped on it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
He didn´t have any pics, but told me that it was in good shape exept for light pick scratches. But this guy seemed trustworthy to me as he has this website www.lick.no , take a look and you see what I mean. He sells instruments, but this one were his private guitar he had to sell because of a car crash and something more...
So I believed this guy actually know how to do a smooth deal. I have no experience with his site, but it seems like one of those one-man business things.
We agreed on the price via PM a saturday afternoon. I told him I wanted to transfer money to his bank account and he said he would ship as fast as the money were on his account.
So I transfered the money straight away that saturday evening, there´s no possibility to ship something before monday, so I told him moday is fine.
Monday late evening I got a PM that he had been very busy and therefor couldn´t ship the guitar before tuesday. He noticed me, so I had no problem with this at all.
Didn´t hear anything tuesday so I supposed it was in the mail, no need to PM all the time, even though I think he should have told me it was shipped.
Wedneysday late late evening I get a PM on this forum where he tells me that this guitar comes with a gigbag only ( like I didn´t know) and he couldn´t find any approbiate way of packing it! He tell me to ship a hardcase to him so he can return the guitar in it.
JEEEEEZ

I´m pretty down to earth and not really easy to fire up, but this is just to stupid, so I tell him ; sorry, deal is off, I don´t like this. You know,this guy is desperate to sell... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Thirsday he sent me three PMs, almost crying that he only wants the guitar to arrive me safely which I understand, but when you have had the guitar for sale nearly three weeks, you should have thought about how to pack it for shipping.
Well, according to him, he spent a fortune on packing materials and guitar is shipped.
OK, guitar arrived monday like this:

I tear of the bubble wrap and unzip the gigbag only to find another gigbag inside the first one. I unzip the second one only to find another gigbag inside that too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
All three thin and dirt cheap.

This guy deals with guitars, look how he strung the guitar:

The guitar was more or less coverred in filth and even though he claimed it didn´t have any cracks or dings, I couldn´t tell before cleaning it up...
This guy really can´t have any pride whatsoever.
Picks of it after some of the shit has been torn off, believe it or not.
Needs seriously new strings and to be cleaned up.
Pretty cool guitar though, thin nice neck and awesome tone.
I´PMd him what I thought about this whole deal in a respectful but still hard tone, and of course I didn´t hear anything more from him..
Will I deal with this retard again?
