The SB-1 Deal

[kaputsport]

So, most of you know for a while now, I have been Jonesing for one of these...

I finally worked a deal for one. However the user (TB member) does not have a paypal account and wants a money order.

Under normal circumstances, he would request the cash before the product ships.

Since I am receiving the product, and the user stated I sound trustworthy, he is going to ship out the box, and wants me to send him a money order after receipt.

I wanted the effects forum to be aware of the deal. The user is going to send me the pedal, and I will return the favor by paying $400 plus actual shipping (marked on the box) to the user.

The name of the most trust worthy user I have ever met is AlunJWDavies.

I sent an email to him, asking him to post in this forum, and keep everyone up to date, to keep all concerned parties honest.

If you want, please feel free to post here, and let the community see the brotherhood that is TalkBass.

I wanted to make this post, so everyone here knows what is going on, and that there are good people out there.

Good luck with the deal!

Thanks Bongo for replying. I wanted to make sure some veterins got a chance to know the situation. I wanted the community to be aware, so if something happened (I.E. I never sent him the money) that you would all be aware.

Obviously, I would not do that, considering I started the thread, but I wanted to make him feel as easy and comfortable about this deal.

nice deal too man. $400 is a great price. hope you enjoy the pedal

Yea. I have been waiting with baited breath for this pedal. I had an SYB-3, and I tried an EHX Bass Synth, but I wanted an SB-1.

I have been playing with a few filters, BaseBalls, Moog, and what not, and thought a synth would help alot too.

We will see.

I am off to the post office now. I'm glad this box is going to a good home. I just never use the thing and Kaputsport is just one of many of you who are dying to have one of these. I've only used it twice in 6 years though!
I wonder if we'll see these on "Antiques Road Show" in twenty years?

Good luck with the deal!

That reminds me of a really bad movie I saw once called Corelle I believe.

I just received the money order for the SB-1 that I sold Kaputsport.
Just wanted to let y'all know the deal went throught with no problems.
Bongomania can now put up another cartoon.
