Good luck to you man. If he was local to me I'd go pay him a visit. I don't suppose you would get any response from the cops down there either.

If this guy is ripping you off I'd say "Road Trip" + "Ass Beating" gets put on the calendar for your summer vacation. I'm really interested in how this all works out for you. Keep us all posted man.

I don't even want to think how much that would cost to drive down there with gas prices now...and the fact that my '93 Ford T-Bird probably wouldn't even make it that far. The mods at Jemsite said they're trying to find out what's going on, so hopefully they can help figure something out.
 
eventually everyone gets bitten in the ass buying and selling online, if you do it enough

sorry man, I don't trust the Internet at all anymore

good luck though, hopefully it works out

Wow, they closed my thread on Jemsite...what the fuck??? I didn't even mention his user name or what guitar it was.

PM one of the mods.... explain the situation and let them know you don't want to cause trouble your just concerned. I can't see why they would not let you inquire if anyone knew him. .

Yeah, I PM'ed the mod who closed the thread. He said that he and the other mods are going to try and help, although I have no idea what they can even do.

Dude, few people in New Iberia are smart enough to even spell guitar. That place is one serious shit hole.

Haha, oh yeah? It looks like it's about 2 1/2 hours away from New Orleans.

Ok so I found an Ibanez RG3120 for sale on Jemsite a few weeks ago for a pretty good price, so I messaged the guy selling it and told him I wanted it. We agreed on a price, and he also said he would install new pickups in it for me for an extra $50. He seemed like a cool dude, so I sent him the money and the pickups last Tuesday. I sent it overnight, which took 2 days for some reason, so he got it on Thursday. He sent me an email last Thursday, the 14th, saying...

"i will try to get the pickups installed tonight and ship it friday, if not i'll have it shipped monday for sure and that'll give me the weekend to get everything set and box it up."

I haven't heard anything from this guy since last Thursday, and the guitar hasn't showed up. I've been emailing him at his home and work email addresses and sending PM's on Jemsite, no responses at all. I've also been calling his cell phone...which he isn't answering.

:aww: :aww: :aww:

Oh. :o
 
Damn, that just don't sound good.

And cash?! There is no way in hell. Paypal. Not even money-orders anymore. If they don't take Paypal, then I offer a personal check. I'll wait for it to clear, my checks are good. And that way if you cash it and run, because its across state borders its a federal offense and a great paper trail on the cashee.

I feel for you though. I hope this works out.

Out of curiousity, and you don't have to answer. How much we talkin' here?

The guitar was $625, and I gave him an extra $50 to install the pickups, plus I also bought the pickups which was another $120 total. He was also supposed to send me the stock DiMarzio pickups back too. :(
 
wow, that sucks, mark, hope it gets sorted out soon.

I haven't posted over there in a while, if you need a bump or anything send me the link etc., and i'll do what i can.

:cheers:
 
We're going to see what happens. My brother lives down there, knows some cops and I know an attorney down there as well.

Dude is fucked!

I never told him my phone number, but I left him a couple messages, so I'm sure he knows it now. I'll try calling from a different phone later today, but I doubt he will answer.

Launch a nuclear sized smear campaign on Jemsite if he doesn't respond.....hope it works out for you :)

Thats what I would do. Smear the shit out of him--But call off the dogs for now. Give him more time. Maybe you/we are jumping to conclusions. Its only been a few days. Maybe he is honestly busy. (reason for lack of response/email/cell phone answer)

Get redy to launch the missles though--lots of shit-heads in this fucked up world...

Good luck--
