Transaction started January 1st. I try to give the benefit of the doubt and try to see the good in people. Things happen, life gets in the way, but I don't really want this to reach the 6 month mark.
I was offered an amp for amp trade, his Uber for my Lil Fokker.
The amp that I shipped to him got there safely, unfortunately the amp he sent me arrived damaged.
We set up a claim and eventually fed-ex picked it up.
I asked about the fokker, and apparently he sold it off already.
We waited forever for fed-ex to get off their ass and finish the claim. (Normal for fed-ex)
Finally he told me fed-ex sends the check and it will be for $1500.
Earlier he told me that fed-ex was shipping him back the amp for no charge. I said that is weird, when I had to file a claim with them, fed-ex kept the amp. He told me that they were going to ship it back to me again and he had to intercept the package. I'm not sure if that's relevant to the story or not, I just think it's strange.
Fast forward a bit, he tells me when he gets the check. He said he will be out of town this weekend and will deposit it when he gets back.
2 weeks later he tells me that the check he received from fed-ex was for $500 and offers to re-sell me the uber that has been looked over by his tech and has been fixed.
I told him that I've since (4 months later) have gotten an axe-fx and that I need the money.
He agrees to get me squared up.
Well, now he has not logged in for 2 weeks and ignored my last message. (unread in inbox)
He has also had other transactions that have been posted on this site.
Weather they were trades or he purchased them outright, IMO is not right. If the roles were reversed, and it was the amp I sent to him that was damaged, the first thing I would have done was to give back his amp that he traded and is now my responsibility to deal with fed-ex.
So, at this point, I don't really know what to do. I want to have faith in this person but I think he handled the situation very poorly and it's ending up costing me.
