Went to pick up bass, but NOT as described!

Demanded Paypal refund!!


Gutted now!

:x

I hate that "not as described" garbage. Just like the Washburn I almost bought - not even close to what was pictured in the advert - and that was from a big retailer, not an individual.

Paypal will take care of you Rufus. I had an issue with a seller and they were fantastic. Resolved within 4 days.

OH NO!!!!! : (
What happened? how different was it?
Not the same one as pictured?! !!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

The pic must have been retouched, as the bidy was damaged at the neck joint.
Also, the neck was scarred, and a fretwire was protruding.!

No doubt my friend Alan could have repaired it, but even so, I felt that I couldnt patronise a liar!

So I said, and, :x and now I'm

So I'll now remove the "gleeful" tag, (which changes with my mood, as I'm sure you realised).

Lol Roo... if you've got any spare cash lying around (which it sounds like you do), please send it to Shuttertalk Guitar Fund, Melbourne Australia

Spare cash?

I'm poor! I have no real job, no major comittments, no boss, no set hours.......

No wages.

No sweat.
