Ok, here's the listing on Reverb. He also has it for sale on The Gear Page. Don't think he's infected R/T yet, but give him time.

He had it for sale for $2250 on the gear page. I contacted him, after a few touch and gos we landed on a price, a time to meet and a place to meet. This was on a friday, and I was to drive to Dallas from Tulsa on sunday and pick up the amp and pay him in person. I agreed to pay his asking price, to drive down to Dallas, all he had to do was meet me at Guitar Sanctuary which is in McKinney - about 1/2 an hour out of Dallas. Not a big deal for him but it did take a little more off my burden of driving 9 or so hours there and back. Mind you, I moved my schedule around so I could do this on sunday. i don't know about the rest of you, but taking 9 hours or so out of my weekend usually isn't done easily.
The next day (saturday) I get a text from him - saying he can't meet there because the alarm is out on his car and he can't leave the amp in his car at his girlfriend's place. (obvious bullshit on his part, but fine, I played along.) Mentioned to him that I would, in that situation, probably carry the amp inside the home of his girlfriend. Then I'm told that he can't carry the amp head up to her 2nd floor apartment.
Alrighty.... so when CAN we meet? He says Tuesday at 3pm. Great, seeya at Guitar Sanctuary on Tuesday. Then the dude tells me that he has another buyer lined up that will drive the extra distance to him, so he doesn't have to drive 30 minutes to Guitar Sanctuary. I'm told if I still want the amp I have to drive further than we agreed. He gives me his home address.
This doesn't sit too well with me - a deal's a deal, I think - so I tell him that he's dishonest, we made a deal, it wasn't the distance that bothered me so much as him lining up someone else and basically changing terms on me after we agreed to them. I also add if he contacts me again I'll offer to cram the amp up his lying ass.
Of course he replies.
Tells me the other reason why he didn't want to meet was because I was obviously a violent person. Of course, I try to send every possibly violent person I'm considering a deal with my home address. Basically says I could pull a gun on him at Guitar Sanctuary or something. whatever. I guess he has force fields or a cannon of some sort at his domicile. Or his live in boyfriend there is a badass.
I end our delightful transaction by telling him I or even a halfway healthy teenage girl should have no need of a firearm or any other violence multiplier to deal with him in any situation if he can't carry a fucking amp up a flight of stairs.
So anyways, this was over a month ago. He's still got the amp for sale. Missing the footswitch, but I don't think it's a bad price... he's just an asshole. Avoid him. Meant to post awhile back, but forgot and saw the issues on the Uber and had a deja vu moment.
