I have no idea!

Did you try clicking the link on my last post?

 

[dave79]

Here's where we start I guess...I'm using the same web address, what type of computer Mac/PC and internet browser are you using?

 

[dave79]

I see that people are discussing this on TGP also, it'd be great if you could crack this problem derekeugene.

ANyway, I've been watching this GK 115RBH for 99$ but they wanted $50 for shipping, just grabbed it for under $6 shipping! Buy heavy stuff now before they fix this!

I'm not sure what magic I'm tapping into. I tried it both on Chrome and IE on a desktop PC and its working fine. I did just try it on my phone and it's going to the new page.

This is so bizarre, I tried Chrome and IE on my desktop, hell I even downloaded Safari(the horror, I feel unclean).

Ugh. Hate the new format: cumbersome, difficult to navigate, overcomplicated.

Probably accessing a cached version on your computer.

I had that thought also but it sounded like he could actually search for stuff and whatnot, if he's doing something novel then it couldn't be cache.

100% agree. They actually tried something like this awhile back, but reverted to the familiar site after a few days.

My top complaints are:

• Zip code filter does not return results across state lines. I live Cincinnati, OH at the intersection of OH, KY and IN. The old site allowed me filter for all stores within 125 radius of my zip. The new site only shows me OH stores.
• While there are "Newest First" and "New Listings" sort options, these don't seem to be nearly as effective as the old site's "Just Arrived" option.

I live in lawrenceburg on the border bthrem and it only shows the florence KY store for me. I have to put in the Cincinnati zip to see anything for them.

 

[Dave W]

Hate the new format. I can't seem to figure out how to search whatever I want (I.E. "stratocaster") within a specified radius of whatever zip code I put in.
Not that the old format was really all that great, but it was much easier to navigate.

Yeah it was letting me search like normal. I'm sure they're just working bugs out.

 

[mindwell]

I have to wonder. Are they wanting to dial back the coast-to-coast used sales on low-priced used items because shipping is costing them too much?

You mean, like the TB Classifieds?

example..a used 1985 MIJ Fender power jazz special..BADLY defretted..Gorn buys it from the midwest..takes it back a day later..I buy it from Long Island..take it back in the chicago burbs..we were all refunded shipping..let's see where it goes this time.

 

[Gorn]

Is anyone able to check out on the website? I'm taking another shot at a defretted jazz bass special and the website isn't letting me check out so I've been on the phone with a very nice but very.....very....slow gentleman from the GC buying this thing.

Doesn't look great, but it looks like a cleaner job than last time:

I'll pass along the return info here if the time comes.

 

[johnp352]

looks like the same guy did it G. How much for this wreck?

 

[Gorn]

looks like the same guy did it G. How much for this wreck?

I don't know if I wanna share that just yet.......A bit more than the wreck.

It really doesn't look as bad. And at least this one has a normal amount of frets and won't be almost impossible to replace if I decide to.

I successfully grabbed a purdy Carvin B50 over the weekend over the website using Chrome. It kept throwing errors if I tried changing the shipping method in anything other than the final "confirm your order" page, though.

Best of luck, looks like they've got a few kinks to work out.
