I have used Guitar Center used items a lot have have had nothing but great experiences. Often, I buy stuff just to resell locally because you can get some amazing prices and I swap gear like it is a second job.
Today, GC had a Madison Abraxas 1200w bass head listed for $49.99. Now say what you want about Madison but any head with this much power in working order will go for at a minimum triple that amount. I purchased it.
I just received an e-mail stating that "sometimes multiple people buy the same item" and that someone's order came in before mine. When you put a used item in your cart it is immediately taken off the site for a few moments to allow you to check out. I find it very unlikely that someone else clicked at the exact same time and we both got it into our carts and checked out.
I am thinking the store manager saw the order come in, realized that shipping a 60 lb. amp was going to cost at least $25 of the $65 it came to with shipping and tax and made up a story to cancel the order.
As I said, I have never ha problems and buy a lot of items through their in-store used inventory online. What is your take on this?
