Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Sounds like I've done all I can then.

So one of my gear sales turned out to be a friend of some friends and he had trees so that was an interesting craigslist delivery. Just sold my mb500 on reverb, posting my demeter tomorrow.

Also this kid emailed and texted me an ok but not really needed flip for my Univox hi-flyer and then I get a text again a few days later and it's the kids dad saying his kid used his phone and he wants to surprise his kid with the bass so he's buying that.

So this guy who I sold my mb500 too Made me an offer saying he wanted to buy asap so I accepted. So he sent me three back to back PMs this morning asking all about the amp but silly questions like how old is it (they are only like 4 years old at the oldest) and how long and why did I own it and why would I sell it. Then sent another message right after saying no he won't buy it and I needed to stop my agreement to his offer... Then sends a question about the price...

I said He was so curious about an amp he already bought and so eager to renege on he accepted offer simultaneously?

I don't really know what's up, but am I dick to say sales final?

You already have his money?

I would notify the mods, could be a phishing scam looking for your bank info.

Let him off and relist it. But contact the mods. Never worth dealing with a flake. It's a MB500, it will sell.

I said I assumed all sales especially offer based were final, but if he wanted out of it he would have to ask a moderator as I didn't know how to drop a sale or if it was allowed. Then let me know what I needed to do. Also that my feedback would reflect the encounter.

My paypal received $300 right away... I guess he really rather spend the cash than be the one who had to call customer service.

Maybe he told his old lady what he spent or he was trying to chisel you down more. Ebay and Reverb have some flakes on them. Oh well, keep your shipping receipts.

I can only assume that. He claims I took too long and he changed his mind. Well he made the offer at midnight and I didn't see it until 12 hours later and he hadn't ended it when I accepted.

No one else has been a flake it's been super easy using reverb. Actually scary easy, I'm not used to checking my mail and seeing oh you have $xx.xx in PayPal go ship some poopie asap!

I freaked out my last day on vacation I got a sale and thought I'd already sold it on Craigslist so I drove home and found it much to my relief.

Nothing better than closing out your last note and feeling really fvcking good about the bands performance.

Had a show Saturday night and we blew the doors off the place. The drunken compliments were quite flattering, even if bvllpoopie. lol.

Did have a guy from the other band ask us why we weren't touring because we were just too awesome to be local only. I'll take it! Now lets get in a van and go cause some havoc!!!

Yeah my bad luck I got two flakes on Reverb early on and only sold a few things on there. It's been better though.
 
You're going to have to live off your wits. I suggest fashioning a crude tunic from a few hundred of the escort flyers being handed out on every corner.

I'm using the wisdom and experience gained from Fallout: New Vegas, I killed a drug addict in order to steal his clothes, gathered some barrel cactus fruit and mesquite for sustenance, fashioned a crude weapon out of some motorcycle parts and I'm hoarding bottle caps. Should be fine.

Don't forget to horde clean water and gasoline. Good luck navigating the wasteland.
 
i've been toying around on my Zoom multi fx i use for practice and have been copying (poorly) some effect combos found in Strymon pedals. i have to say, despite its intended use, i think a Strymon Flint, run stereo with a slow, shallow tremolo and an 80s hall reverb into some fuzz and two big amps would be super shaging cool.

I was going to suggest killing a high class male prostitute so you would be dressed smartly.
