Just a rant here folks. I have been trying to work with a guy for almost a week that wants one of my basses.He has 0 feedback on Talkbass,no Paypal account,and did not fill out his profile at all. It took me 4 days to finally get him to tell me where the bass might go,which I finally found out was Puerto Rico. He claims he knows a bunch of folks in the music business,all of which I never heard of,nor would he verify any of it. After I found out how much it was to ship there,I said "no way I loosing that much".So I just emailed him and called it off. Folks,if you are a member here,please fill out your profile COMPLETELY.I believe it should be mantatory upon registration.Those of us that have been here a while,like to know who we are dealing with. Thanks for letting me vent!

But he just doesn't get it. His username here is Mastersonics,or something close to that. Anybody ever deal with him? he's pissed because I won't pay a minimum of 1330.00 to ship the bass to Puerto Rico.And he wants to be able to send it back if he doesn't like it,which I usually do. But I said no in this case.He's been a member since 2004,but no feedback. That should be a flag right there.I just don't want this guy to retaliate in anyway,ya know! Hopefully,I have some folks here that will cover my back!

Nope...do you know where he's from? Could be a language barrier thing...maybe...just fishin'

He types proper english,and lives in Puerto Rico,so it's not a language problem.My problem is he wants me to sell him the bass,with no feedback here,despite the fact he's been a member since 2004,no paypal account,and that I had to ask him 4 times where the bass was shipping to.This has been going on for over a week now,and I just had enough! I really didn't want to sell that particular Kubicki anyway.(lol)

I just got another email from the idiot,and now he tells me that he decided against the bass 3 emails ago,because he wanted to prove a point.He didn't specify what that was.BTW his name is Charles Rivera,avoid this character at all costs. And thanks for the backup guys! It really warms my heart!
