I ended up with a heavily used pedal that had been on a board for quite a while with plenty of dings scrapes stickers etc., so there you go for future reference.


I think it underscores the importance of honesty in all aspects of trading.cop.gifcop.gifcop.gif

 


I don't see it that way at all. The pedal did NOT look heavily used, did NOT have dings, did NOT have scrapes and did NOT have stickers. Was the pedal used, yes of course it was, it's a pedal not a museum piece. That being said, I was completely truthful about the condition and quite honestly I'm a little disappointed that you would make such accusations.


I have conducted quite a few trades/sales here and, for the record, I have always been truthful about the condition of everything I've traded/sold.

In regards to the Micktaylorfan transaction:


goth70: "Ill trade assuming that the pedal is in the same mint-condition as mine"


Micktaylorfan: I don't have the box and books But the pedal is in PERFECT CONDITION otherwise.



Well, no its not. The paint is chipped on the front, multiple scrapes all over it, velcro super-glued to the bottom- all these things hurt the re-sale value of the pedal. You were not honest, perfect means perfect not heavily used.


If you deal with this guy make sure you get a picture first. Don't be a trusting soul like me. Agent Mulder was right- "trust no onepoke.gif

Don't give me any of this "trusting soul" crap, and don't paint me as the bad guy, the pedal was in great shape when it was mailed to you. Like I said, it's a pedal, not a museum piece. This is the last comment I will make on this subject.

"Used" condition and "mint" condition are not the same thing!!!!!!!


If a guy says the trade is dependent on the condition of the pedal then that is what they mean. You don't get to alter the deal as you see fit. A mint pedal for a mint pedal of similar value is a fair trade, not a mint in the box with the booklets for a heavily used pedal. No way!


How would you feel if you went to buy a new car and looked down and it had 100,000 miles on it. {censored} that. Hey its a car not a museum piece right?


Jerk. Do not deal with this guy. No Micktaylor trades without pics first. Period.

Good deals with many, many fine people.


Lousy deal with aporcelainsky. We traded pedals; the one he sent me had shorted jacks. I sent it back, and politely offered to work it out. He has ignored every message I have sent since then. Very dishonorable and disappointing. I am out about $100 on this. Shame!
