SO I was buying this from a guy who works in the "Guitar guru" network on reverb. From what I can tell these are guys who don't have a store but are factory dealers of name brand gear through this network.
I was trying to go pick it up yesterday and he basically blew me off.
So I texted him last night and set up a pickup today.
I just got a text saying that he went by his warehouse to pick it up and it was badly damaged and wouldn't function.
He says "good news I'm getting more next week". F##$ him I don't like being blown off and I don't like waiting. Also, he said he was having a problem with UPS damaging a lot of his merchandise. So I'm not inclined to wait a week and get "hey it's busted again."
That guy screwed me on Reverb. I bought a Friedman Runt 50 from them, and he didn't actually have the amp, (showed 2 in stock). He then said he'd drop-ship one from California in "a couple weeks" I told him to stick it, and waited 4 days for a refund. Fuck them. Fucking liar is what he is.
I've had several purchases on Reverb that went like this. People post stuff as "in stock", when all they do is drop-ship. Reverb claims they don't allow it, but they certainly don't enforce it.
Sounds like they lied to you. They probably don't have the amp, and fibbed about it being damaged.
