So Reverb tells me the seller put his Paypal address down wrong in his profile. So Reverb sent me his Paypal name and wants me to pay him directly but will still back the purchase. So I go to pay the guy with the guy's paypal address and Paypal says it isn't registered. I can tell if the seller is half-retardded with goals or a con man at this point. It shouldn't be so hard to buy something, argh. So now I have the cash waiting for the paypal to be approved. I know I can cancel if it goes South but goddamn this is getting old.
New Monobrow is making me happier now though!!!

That's weird. I've never had an issue on Reverb. Could be an honest mistake.

I just asked Reverb if I can just cancel the transaction, I said the seller is either and idiot or shady and I don't feel good about the transaction anymore. Not sure they will let me or if it will go against me on there but I can't see me ever getting the guitar from the guy. He doesn't even return my messages. I cancelled the payment to the non-registered paypal address too.

international shipping is the best. you are 0% responsible for anything that goes wrong, and all international buyers are well aware. as long as you get in writing to him that you are not responsible for the instrument once it crosses the US border, you are good to go.

I just worry about BS like, "it was improperly packaged, the neck warped, never made it through customs, damaged, never delivered, you're out an expensive bass, and now the cash as well."

take picture of the box before it goes and send to him. if youre really that worried theres ways to protect yourself. and im pretty sure UPS/Fedex will insure international, just tell him youre more comfortable with that, see if he'll split the cost or cover it.

Yeah that new Monobrow album is sweet. Kicked in some buck for it.

Also I was able to snag a blower box from the classifieds so I'm pretty stoked about that.

And I just put my TB 500 through its paces and it's sounding pretty nice. I like how dirty it gets. Was really missing that Orange tone. I don't even have my 1x15 cab here so I'm sure it'll sound even better when I get to run it through that at band practice. Using my ampeg 2x10 micro cab right now. Still sounds quite decent.
