HUGE TRADE GONE BAD

[Nev375]

Just think what a trained investigator could do with all the tools available to them.

Wait? Krispy Kreme has online ordering and delivery now?

 

[nortonrider]

how about some member close to Evan go over and pick up the bass and ship it back to the OP?
That way dharma knows it's going to be done, that Evan isn't going to bust it up, etc......

I would think the quicker you can get that Clement out of the hands of JPATA,
the better.

 

[Munjibunga]

I see JPATA is still a active registered member and still watching and not Banned yet!!!!!! Hes reading this right now and still instant messaging on here to people

He can read the thread even if he's banned.

 

[Ric5]

I have never been a fan of trades ... I prefer to sell and buy basses.

 

[Dash Rantic]

Yeow, just saw this thread--I've always felt safe buying from fellow TB'ers, I hope this incident doesn't make it harder for those of us with fewer transactions under our belts.

I really hope the OP gets his bass back, and JPATA gets what he/she deserves. I don't know why people try and pull scams like this :scowl:

I just reread that "apology" and I think mommy may have written it, too well worded for a 19 year old with a "low high school education" or whatever was said.

Either way, hang this kid out to dry.

 

[Darnell Jones]

I am the guitarist for JPATA, Evan is a good guy who buys and sells bass guitars. This is all a MisCommunication with Shawn and Evan. He is mailing the bass back tomorrow. If everyone was adults, which I am assuming most of you are, you would understand that a 19 year old sent the wrong bass to the wrong address. He is mailing it back tomorrow. SHAWN, if you are reading this, you will be getting your Clement bass back tomorrow. Please accept our apology and know that you bass is coming back safely in the next few days. If there are any problems EMAIL me personally at [email protected] and I will give you my number so we can make sure ALL OF THIS is worked out properly. Thanks a lot, hopefully all you Bass players can understand an accidental shipping mis hap. Thanks again, from Mick.

This story came too late as Evan already confessed to stealing it

But it does answer the question of how the rest of the band feels about his stealing.

 

[Flaked Beans]

He can read the thread even if he's banned.

Exactly.

 

[Munjibunga]

I agree. Even if this guy didnt do what he just did, there is no denying that his band is horrible.

As for you Hottwix, you have a serious pathological problem. Lying, deceiving, and stealing from people is wrong. You appear to be young enough to be able to turn your life around. If you continue on your course you will eventually find yourself in prison. The stories that you hear of what they do to young men in prison are true. Is that really what you want in life? Continue to embrace music, find a mentor, a positive role model. Start living the good life.

(Pssst! JPATA and Hottwix are one and the same.)

What I wrote to JPATA:

I highly recommend you return the bass to dharma...and it would be very wise to make things right with tdawgg. One count of fraud is probably a fine and community service. Multiple counts is jail time....and a long time lookin over your shoulder. Lotta dudes in your neck of the woods who know you now... The fast track to a paranoia free life is setting things right...and doin it fast!!

His response:

The bass to dharma is going back in the morning. I have contacted tdawgg and am awaiting his response. I want to make these things right. I AM honestly looking to change these things. It's happened twice prior including tdawgg. All parties have been contacted yet all have since blown me off thusfar. I am selling all of my musical equipment to pay for the damages in excess to each party to the maximum I feasibly can. I am completely and utterly dropping my involvement in music. The biggest problem is that no one will seem to let me repair any of this. What's been done is done and it was wrong. it IS wrong. I HAVE COMMITTED TERRIBLE WRONGS. But I am trying to at least tilt the scale towards reparations

read it for what it is.

 

[dharmashawn]

Again Thank You ALL for you help and wise words about doing what needs to be done.
In the beginning of this thread I really didn't know the magnitude of Evan's deceit. Had I originally known that there where several others losing hundreds of dollars I would have realized that calls needed to be made and action needs to be taken.

I greatly appreciate everyone's support and help/humor.

gotta tap out, it's 3:30 here....

and I will now print out a copy of this thread just in case

 

[Infidelity]

This thread makes me giggle inside.. TB is awesome in every way!

 

[Munjibunga]

I think you meant 'towel'...

Burger Flippin' Time!

YES! The grammar nazis strike!

If Shawn is fine with it, and Evan is willing to meet, I would be willing to do that.

 

[Munjibunga]

But how you gonna collect if you win? This little turd probably has nothing worth collecting on.

His mom may be a doctor. I wonder if she knows what's going on. She should.

 

[UncleFluffy]

YES! The grammar nazis strike!

"Nazis" is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

 

[dharmashawn]

If Shawn is fine with it, and Evan is willing to meet, I would be willing to do that.

No complaints here, works for me.

Accidental mishap. And what about all the other "accidental mishaps"? I doubt he's a "good guy." He sounds like a brazen thief to me. Stupid, but brazen.

 

[Waterpilot]

Okay. Let me know if that's something Evan (assuming that's his name) is willing to do and we can make some arrangements.

 

[tsar nicholas]

Whoa, I just read this entire thread, gripping! It's good to see the thumping community stick together to help out a victim of this most bogus swine.


I'd still be surprised if the hideous cochon returned any of the ill-gotten basses. Ultra slime.
