Buyer/Trader Beware on TB !

[guy n. cognito]

What does that matter as long as the misrepresentation was discovered with in a reasonable time. GC gives 45 days, Sweetwater stands behind there sales for two years with a 45 day no questions asked exchange. I was a week within those standards, regardless if I sold it to anyone else and they discovered the problem.

As a private seller, I don't hold myself to GC standards. While I would give a refund if an obvious issue was found in a reasonable period of time, 5 weeks isn't reasonable. When you add to that a change in ownership, then the seller has no way to know when the more serious issue occurred.

Take the bass to a competent luthier. He may be able to fix the neck. The holes are solved by ordering a new pick guard.

I dont understand the dodging of the real issue. We're not talking about a long period of time either. Dishonesty is dishonesty even a year later.

I wonder if it's because the two that are , have over a hundred transactions and seem more active as sellers than brothers

It matters very much for reasons we've discussed ad nauseam. By selling it, you accepted that it was yours to sell. You assumed all responsibility for its condition regardless of anything that may have happened or had been done to it before you owned.

The moderator just tried to tell me that 30 days is the industry standard but the reality is 45 days. I was a week within that timeframe when I contacted him about the discovery.

That's your opinion and only an opinion.

Ya you betcha.

If you look beyond GC, 30 days is quite normal. Most smaller shops have an "exchange only policy". Either way, the comparison is irrevelant.

Hey, friend, don't call my credibility into question simply because I disagree with your position.

 

[Session1969]

I just did, after you've been questioning mine.

Im not questioning your credibility, simply your opinion on this matter. You've clearly done the right thing for your buyer.

Ok, the pics of the bass that he purchased from had no drill holes for the pickup cover. One of the pics that he sent me shows the bass with a pickup cover on it. Meaning, in his possession , the pickup cover had been added.

Over a hundred , each.
