Just googled something:

$10,000, except that a plaintiff may not file a claim over $2,500 more than twice a year. Limit for local public entity or for businesses is $5,000. $6,500 is the limit in suits by an individual against a guarantor that charges for its guarantor or surety services.

California small claims limitations. I don't know what state the OP is in but

A link to all 50 states small claims limits.

I love the offer of the backup bass, but I think Addison has some nice ones already. Check his YouTube, he's a helluva bassist:

Sofofa...didn't even think about that.

I love the offer, but I think Addison has some nice "backup" basses. Check his YouTube, he's a helluva bassist:

Yeah, but he mentioned selling off stuff to pay for this one. The man deserves to be playing on something nicer than the backup to his backup to his backup.

Oh yikes, forgot about that. You're right, and props to you for the offer.

 

[ChubbyJerk]

Well, now I feel like an idiot, because (as a righty) it's an offer I can't really back up.

 

[chicago_mike]

Its the thought that counts. Seriously. You have a good conscience.

You cannot threaten to sue someone if you have no intention to do so. As told to me by an Illinois states attorney and 2 public defenders.

How do you know that he won't ?

@ ChubbyJerk: don't feel bad. The left-handed bass playing community has got Addison's back if he needs any assistance of any sort. We may be a small group, but we most def take care of our own.

I forget who, but someone posted to threaten to sue without doing it.

 

[ChubbyJerk]

Good to know!

This is one of many reasons why I like Talkbass. Awesome.

I keep seeing this thread bumped, occasionally I pop in to see if there has been any sort of progress and am floored to see that nothing has been done. Deceit is entirely unacceptable.

This thread is a wakeup call! With so much commerce sold via website, we all better make sure there is a clear written "acceptable" return policy! In addition, use a source of payment which offers additional purchase protection.

I'd be happy to donate.

$5K is a lot for anyone to lose, period. Yet we TB people are bigger than $5K anyday.

After I had my fire, people donated stuff from Talkbass. Very cool people.
