The thread is dead, let it go.

that's what I was thinking girlie girl

I just took out that GSP 2101 and kicked it.

(It's not mint anymore, jughead. LOL)

Oh Man...! LOL! Scott, please don't try and sell any cars Ha ha!

I had to sell a really good guitar a while back.

I wasn't asking much and it was in great shape, with no flaws or dings etc.

The guy shows up and goes in "negotiation mode".

I said "price is firm". He said "it's a cash sale, nothing is firm".

I slapped the guitar on a table just enough to make a paint chip form.

I asked him, "anymore delusions you care to voice"?

He said "you don't expect me to buy that now, do you"?

I told him that I would appreciate it if he just left before he got smacked with the guitar.

He complained bitterly until I slammed the door in his face.

Now I still have that guitar and am glad i do. The paint chip doesn't bother me at all.

The moral of the story is if you don't like something about the transaction, feel free to get up out of here and do not come back.

If you can't follow directions or feel like you want to make up your own set of rules, guess again. I am never so desperate that I have to put up with some jokers' behavior and sell them something I own.

(I'd rather throw it in the chipper and send ya a pic of what's left.)

not sure why you would take his stubbornness out on a perfectly good guitar.
wouldn't have been just as easy to repeat the price until he paid or left?

Nah this guy was a jerk and it cost me 35$ to have it repaired.

To fix a paint chip = 35$
To get rid of an annoying pest = priceless. LOL

ok ok
since I see this thread isn't dead..

I just wanna defend why this thread turned so dumb, and why I think I'm in the right here..

So, here's a synopsis of what basically transpired:

1) Guy offers to sell me his gear
2) I ask if he can e-mail me so we can dialog about the deal, i.e. what
exactly he has
3) guy gets all offended that I'm asking to e-mail, and accuses me of accusing HIM of trying to scam me....somehow?



Sooooo
This is like, someone offers you on bandmix to sell you a Les Paul
You ask, "hey cool, can you shoot me an e-mail & let me know what you've got?"
And doode then turns on you and accuses you of saying he's trying to cheat you...

Do you guy not see the STUPIDITY here?!?!?!?!?!?



Can someone please take a stab at explaining why I am inn the wrong here?

Celtic You are not wrong here , mate.. AND you are not crazy, either... hee hee!

Here's how I see it... Mr Scott appears to have an abiding affinity for privacy... (Lots of folks do , actually) But he is more likely to follow the protocols of a dialog, when he has complete control of his domain and the situation.

In the email universe, in-so-much as he engages business with a stranger...he has no control whatsoever... And he'd probably be danged, if he was gonna let somebody else take what little control he does have...Hence, the ritual dance of busting up property to make "him" look less vulnerable... (You can see the logic, yes? ... i.e. Man vs Object, Man wins, Therefore man must be a force ...not to be reckoned with...) Its an age old Tribal dance, which I think began in the 60's with the first episode of the Monkees...I could be wrong... (Ha ha! somebody stop Me...!)

The idea of being offended by your request i.e. to email the details, is most likely his smokescreen to buffer the notion of his uneasiness to engage with a stranger... Its probably nothing personal against you in any way...

On Bandmix, I'm hard-pressed to believe that any deal isnt already dead on the vine after the first round of 'submit' buttons. LOL!

I'm saying that the hope of a potential buyer successfully obtaining an item from a potential seller on bandmix has a survival rate, much less than that of a naked white man running down a street in Harlem, shouting..."Obama is a Free-Mason!...and Al is his bitch! ".

Be well My friend...There are better deals to be had elsewhere, for each of us...when the universe finally conspires to make it so.

Celtic, I was doing you a favor.

You thought I was "selling" you something. (oops)

Once I realized you thought it had nothing to do with a favor, your request becomes meaningless to me.

And I am not a music store, go buy whatever you want but don't think you can decide anything when I am doing you a "solid". It's "take it or leave it".

And as fast as it came to be, it was gone.
Complain all you like, that little daydream is OVER and all the king's men could not put "humpy-hump" back together again.

Go buy a bagpipe and leave it alone.
You going to threaten suicide next>? LOL
Will it mean you'll be quiet then and give it the faq up?

I have no idea what you are talking about..

no really, I have no idea..

Seriously: NO IDEA!

Interesting to look at.

I'll arm wrestle you for it Mr Scott

lol Shh let it die.
