Anyone near NC I need help regarding a amp...

[AK47]

I posted this here hoping more people will see it.

There is an early Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier on Ebay that I think I can score for a really good price. Problem is seller will not ship it.

If anyone in North Carolina can pick it up pack it and bill it to my commercial UPS account I can compensate you with some money or guitar parts. We can work out a fair trade in parts I have alot to chose from...I got EMGs or a real older Floyd rose birdge also some vintage Jackson/Charvel parts that I can offer. Otherwise I do not want to just sell any of those parts. I just want help to get this amp.

I figure about 50 bucks cash or parts would be fair. I can make arrangements to cover fuel costs in addition to compensation for packing materials but the seller states he can drive a 100 miles to drop it off from where he lives.

I cant bid on the item till I can get someone to commit otherwise I will get negged. I tried to ask the seller to drop it off at the UPSstore or have UPS pick it up from his house and he will not do it.

I hope this is a OK request to post in this forum.

He'll drive 100 miles but won't go to a UPS store that's probably closer? Strange guy.

I think that type of attitude will get me a cheap amp providing I can get someone to pick it up for me.

True. Good luck!

You do realize that North Carolina is a fairly large state right? Some general sense of where would be pretty useful.

Sorry, I grew up in California so all states are puny to me except for Texas and Alaska.

Its in Glen Alpine according to the listing.

I guess its time to use google earth.

Just to make it clear I will cover all costs associated with getting this amp plus compensation for time. If its a real hassle I will offer some more money or stuff depending on the situation.

From the towns website:
The Town of Glen Alpine is located in the beautiful foothills of North Carolina. Between Morganton and Marion, Glen Alpine is just a few miles off Interstate 40, with U.S. Highway 70 intersecting the town.

Do they mean Marion Georgia? Dont we have a few members from around those parts?

I dont get it...

is that a "squeel like a pig" type area?

[Jack The Riffer]

Actually it's near Ashville I believe. More like Tree Hugging Hippie Country.

[Jack The Riffer]

Over 200 miles from me...Sorry.

Yahoo Maps says Glen Alpine is about 53 miles from Asheville and about 82 miles from Charlotte, if that helps.
