Are the walls closing in on your closet or is it just lonely in there?
Maybe the Reverb seller lost a recent argument with one of his other personalities and took it out on the OP?.

Yep. Reverb should ban the guy. Don’t waste any more time on on this dbag “victim.”
Are you kidding me? Please tell me your joking. I sell regularly on many different sites around the web. People change their mind. It happens. It’s ok. It can be frustrating, but is it ruining your life? No. Inquiring on an item or asking a question is in no way an agreement to purchase.
I took this as birminghambass being sarcastic, don't think he was being serious there

Wow, that escalated quickly. Unreal.
What the heck was the message with the 1. 2. 3. where #3 stated "Does your dog bite, it's not my dog" (???) then he randomly sends a bunch of strange pictures of dolls or something??
This guy's train of thought was extremely hard to follow, but it almost seemed like he was trying to rebuke you for the fact that you had returned the Corvette you just bought from GC. Almost seemed like that struck a nerve big time. Dude must be really frustrated about buyers who buy and then return things when they don't like them. Seems like he associated you with that phenomenon or something and started immediately taking all his frustrations out on you
Still—UNREAL. Threats to show up at your house and more? Yeah, no. That's not going to fly. Hope Reverb deals accordingly.

I guess I wasn't ridiculous enough if my sarcasm wasn't obvious. I apologize. Please send me your paypal address and I'll gladly send you $100 for wasting your time.
Uh, I do believe you meant "waisting".
Sorry I missed the show. Now all this popcorn will go to waste or is it waist. LOL
Reverb isn't immune to wing nuts either and even not having a chance to read the communications I think I get the idea of what took place. Sometime it's hard to walk away even when you realize you should because it's so unreal you can't believe what's happening.
I've also had good success selling on Reverb and only one failed to pay in 44 transactions but it was another wing nut who claimed he had emergency surgery on a severed tendon in his wrist. He sent a pic supposedly from the hospital showing a forearm poorly wrapped in a soiled Ace Bandage and in plain view on a very non-institutional like glass top table was a very full ash tray and a half smoked pack of Marlboros.
When he was three days late in paying I cancelled the sale yet he kept insisting he'd pay just as soon as they released him from the hospital. Wherever he was he had a laptop and despite the surgery full use of his arm, wrist, and hand to type and smoke yet he still couldn't transfer funds he assured me were in his account.
I hate bad liars.

I had an issue on Reverb when a seller who is only about 15 miles from me refused to allow me to pickup a bass that I was interested in. He insisted on shipping it. I told him on several occasions that I couldn't justify paying for shipping when I could drive to him in about 20 minutes. He sent me a nasty response which I cannot post here.
