just a reminder to everyone- user name stevestevens (changed from wlfgnplyr) traded to me a marshall mode four cab which he assured me was loaded with mode four V30 speakers for my jackson DK2M- when i got it home, i opened it up and found it loaded with crappy old CRATE speakers. not only did he refuse to trade back, but he now lists my name as a "hellish transaction" in his sig.

(i dont see what was so hellish about it to him other than i exposed his dishonorable trading practices to several people)

confirm that with torgeot! A great guy to deal with. Shipped the amp before I actually paid for the total shipping. It's great to have someone you can trust across the ocean! Cheers, man!


Also, word up for my past deals:


user beforetone: also a great and honest guy. Bought a VHT GP3 from him. Continuing to trying to sell his stuff over here. So possibly more deals are on the way.


user: psmile87 - extremely fast sender, doesn't talk much LOL, but he shipped the amp like almost the next day after I paid him. A very good kid!

Hey all,

don't let the username scare you off. Great guy. Bought his Budda Superdrive 45, and it shipped with different tubes in it than was described. Without hesitation, he refunded me $50 so I could install the correct tubes. Good deal on a great amp, and he went the extra mile to correct a minor issue.


Thanks again, Dennis.

This is an old one, but I bought a Mesa Boogie Single Rec off of hvymtl939 in early November 2008. The transactions went smooth, but something was wrong with the amp from the start.. or atleast when I received it. The packing on the amp was very shoddy, and when I opened it up, the tubes were scattered about. Well, plugging the amp in first, the volume was shot. I had to put everything to max to get a sound out of it, and even then it was very low. The distortion and everything was buzzy and the notes died out very quickly.


I recently went back to see what was up with the amp, and I changed out all the preamp tubes, and the tone did seem to make it a bit better, but I still had to have all the volume levels maxed to get a higher volume. It still wasn't loud at all. I would say it was the equivalent to my Marshall being at level 1. Channel 2's volume was lower. I've changed the powertubes as well and it didn't do anything at all... I asked him if anything was wrong, and he told me no. I don't think that it could get damaged too much during the shipping as well since it came with a roadcase...


Any tips on what I can ask the seller or get some compensation? Maybe that's the reason he sold it so cheap, $710 shipped with a roadcase... Either way, I've spent a lot of money on tubes alone just trying to fix it...

Bought a guitar from shredtilurded. It didn't work and of course he said he tested it before after I told him. Got it fixed as it turned out the jack was messed up, though no wires were loose and no damage in shipping. He acts like I'm jacking him and refuses to compensate me for the repair. AVOID!

Bad Deals:

zangzadam - Shipped my guitar on 11/23/09. Received the guitar and amp he was trading me after 3 weeks of waiting and him giving me a bunch of BS about sending the stuff on the 23rd and FedEx "lost it," still haven't received the money that was supposed to be included and the guitar was missing parts, which still have not been shipped.
