Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I found a good deal on a Squier Standard tele. Comes with Fralin Blues Specials. Not in a color I like, I'd basically buy it and parts it out for cash. They want $200 and the pickups alone are almost that, even used... But... The seller... weirds me out. On the phone, it sounded, clearly, like a very effeminate man (their number was on the listing, I sent them an email after talking there so they'd have my address to send pics). Then they said their name was Rachel. The email signature also said Rachel. The email is an AOL address and says "hotlickslynn" and a number. They said their "partner" doesn't drive, and they don't like to drive, and because they want me to hear it through an amp first, they won't meet me anywhere but their home. I'm slightly weirded out. I do believe Would you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 What, do you think your going to get raped by a shemale? I doubt it. Go buy the damn thing, it's a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slightly weirded out. I do believe. Let me get my crystal ball out. Okk..kayyyyy...... For some reason, I can't see anything but billowing fog. However, I can clearly hear banjos playing and someone yelling "Squeal like a pig for me!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I'd buy it. Take a battery powered amp so you can play it on the porch if you're afraid to go into a not-overly macho guy's house. Personally, I'd be less off put by a guy that sounded a little light in the loafers rather than a guy that sounded like a hardcore biker. Having said that, it's good that you are thinking about such things. Better being a little skiddish and aware rather than ending up in 5 or 6 trashbags on the side of the highway.

Members Phillbis Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I did a google search on the aol user name and it brought up a posting from an amp forum. Not an HC amp forum. Anyway, the profile says it's a 56 year old female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WGH Posted March 10, 2010 Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 Whenever you sell anything on craigslist, isn't the first bit of advice always "meet the buyer at a public location...never at your home." Makes you wonder why they're insisting you come to their home. It's just a guitar...I would pass on this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted March 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2010 I've spoken to them via email since. They absolutely refuse to go ANYWHERE but their home, and said they'd sell it to someone else if I didn't meet them there. I guess they can keep it.
