This used to be mine. This asshole cried broke and how he was trying to rebuild his rig. I had it up for 450 and sold it to him for 300 because I wanted to help a guy out. The next week he had it up for 600. Now he's down to 450. Good deal? yes. Asshole? yes.

Wow. So he tugged on your heartstrings in an attempt to flip it for a profit. Nice.

Wonder why "barley" used needed brand new tubes?

had a chick guitar player do the same thing to me about 10 years ago, but it was my 5150. Sold her the whole rig for $375 because hers was in the shop and she so desperately needed a back up rig.

bitch put the head on ebay 2 days later for $600. Man was I pissed. I guess I still am.
 
That's the exact reason why I always list at my lowest price and never budge. I know what things are worth, I don't give a shit about your BS sob story. Pay me or leave me alone.

Sounds heartless, but it's how you have to be these days when it comes to selling to folks you don't know. I flip gear on the side for profit on a weekly basis, but I never talk people down, I just find stuff that is already priced low, buy it and resell. They get their money, I make a buck, everybody wins.

I'm with you. I've heard every story in the book, and 99.9% of the time, it's B.S. You can ask $500 for something, and get "$300 is all I have".. I tell them "let me know when you raise the other $200". Fuckers.

Ha! My response to that one is always "Cool, only $200 more to go!" Usually the people who are good sports about it are real deal buyers anyways, so it weeds out the tire kickers.
 
I am currently negotiating with that guy and have been for a few days. He is buying some stuff off of me.

I won't go for the sad story.

That guy's a piece of shit. I was going to call him, and as I entered the numbers it came up in my phone and was on my blocked list. I remember clearly my last run-in with him. He tried to low ball me on an amp I had, and when I turned him down, he flipped out. Blew up my phone with threats, insults, etc. Yep, real piece of shit.

Are you in Tampa? If you decide to go pick it up, I'll go with you. I'd love to.

That would be awesome. Show up and confront him. I would.
 
I explain to them that My price is fair, if not generous, and that My price is somewhat greater than what guitar center is going to pay me, but much less Than what guitar center will sell it for. They can pay what I’m asking, Or piss me off to the point where I don’t give them a deal and sell it to guitar center Just to avoid the BS back-and-forth

We all have a general sense of what the market should be for gear. If someone has an over inflated Price on CL, I will politely reach out to tell them that I am interested and I ask them to reach back out to me before they “give it away to guitar center.” I don’t even offer them lower than what they have listed. I have gotten some great deals this way When guys have had ads posted forever, keep lowering the price, need the $, and are holding out before they inevitably Yield to the guitar center raping.

I am in Tampa, you are free to come along. Lol. SW Pasco
 
I got suckered and that's my weakness. I just thought those here interested should know who they're dealing with. And the amp is not like new, it had a few resistor and capacitor values changed out and had a choke mod at one time that has been removed but the back of the front panel was chipped out for a relief because the choke hit the back of the front panel and of course the holes in the chassis. Amp still sounded awesome.

I wouldn't do any business with him, if you were still thinking about it swamp. If he is dodgy once, he will be dodgy twice.
