Spending your Robhe refund?

[levis76]

Funny, I Googled Robhe, and nothing came up, except this TB thread, not the other one that would actually shed some light on the topic

I haven’t read the mega-thread, but do I have this right:

• People are drawn to the prospect of purchasing an instrument that is priced far, far lower than is even possible, assuming a minimum quality standard,
• Same people execute one or more purchases of said instrument(s),
• Then wait for delivery, which never happens,
• Then file for a refund,
• Then wait for delivery of said refund, which could take several (or more) days,
• And finally gush with glee about said refund?

Is all of that really even worth the trouble?

It was the adventure.

I spent about eight minutes on the entire transaction. Purchase and refunds.

I spent a lot time posting and joking about it. Worth it? For entertainment value, yes!

Could I have done something better and more productive with my time... probably yes!

So what will you do that Robhe refund?

I considered it spent money on gear.
I'm going to re-allocate to another bass purchase.

I've ordered an Ibanez Talman , mint green with tort!

I went all in on Robhe purchases, and the refund will cover this purchase of the B stock Talman

What will you do?

Should've got the 500

I just got my refund about an hour ago.

I bought the expansion for X-Com 2 (war of the Chosen) for PC; now I have $5.80 to buy breakfast at Wendy's. Drive through of course.

Robhe = scam artist on eBay.
Many of us on TB “purchased” dirt cheap basses.
Now we are getting refunds.
It was an adventure.

Yeah...you hear a knock, open the door, and a ping-pong ball comes shootin' through like a mortar round.

OK, that made me laugh; thank you

I was a hug Zappa fan and grew up 2 blocks away from Punky's brothers (he had move from home by then)
How did I miss this masterpiece?

I have a feeling the 100 will be better than a Glarry!

Hopefully the Talman will be fun to play. I like a compact full scale for jamming in close quarters.

Strange how I just left the 31 page $17 bas poll thread, and here I am, with the same group again.

Brings back memories of Lester Bangs' vision of the "Punky Meadows Lip Farm".

Got notified of my $15.83 refund today. I bought some strings.

... Then this morning, I saw there are locust swarms in Africa! This is getting biblical. Plagues, Hordes of Locusts (a good Satriani song btw...), oh my!

Don’t forget the water drought, rising oceans, and wildfires.

If I hear of another KISS reunion tour without Ace Frehley I’m gonna panic and sell all my gear for whatever I can get.

The only missing ingredient is Guitar Center!!!
