Paid for and just sent back a "brand new" BE100 Deluxe. It showed up in a beat to hell box 3 times too big for the amp. Amp was wrapped in bubble wrap just rolling around in the box. One of the transformers was bent to one side from the banging around & the tolex was ripped on the front. No original box or packing material, no manual, no power cord, just the amp and a footswitch. Don't know what they're thinking.

Dude GC/MF have been notoriously sending people obviously used items that they marked as brand new. Yours is at least the 7th or 8th report like that that I've seen in the past 6 months.

One of my homies on the GGF forum bought a brand new Marshall Origin 50 from Musiciansfriend.....when he pulled it out the box it had fucking blue tape on the headshell where someone marked their settings :LOL:

Yeah the footswitch was badly dented but I took it all apart and straightened it out. Turned out pretty good. I should of charged GC for my time. You’re welcome!! Lol.

I used to buy lots of used guitars from them, and returned a fair share, but they got the better end of that deal, since the guitars always went back in much better shape than I got them, since I typically polished up the frets, set the truss rod and action, and just generally cleaned off all the grim.

Welp, back up for sale again. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it looks like the "computer glitch" scenario is out the window.

So, in our latest episode of "Where's the Roadster".. It's popped up at the GC in Colorado Springs, CO. now.. I guess some poor schmuck in Colorado bought it, and returned it. Doesn't give me much faith in buying anything out of the GC used section any more.
