You're kidding me right? You wait until the gear has been delivered to the buyer and he's given you the thumbs up that it arrived as described. It's not like this was months later and the guy is hassling him now. He just got the guitar. He spent the money before the guy even got the guitar. Not a good idea. Clear now?fluff191":3pn4xhj8 said:So how long would that be? Is he supposed to wait a few months to spend the money in case the dude has a problem?
Ok, sweetie...fluff191":38mdxv6m said:Whoa there cupcake. I asked because even on my high dollar items, it's rare I ever hear anything at all. Hence the question.
He said in his first post a month had passed.

He deserves his money back.Please correct me if I am wrong in this finding.

He sent me some really high res photos, which i then showed to a guitar tech whos opinion i trust way more than my own.
Turns out it HAD been reset. Albeit, a very clean job, hince why it fooled me. So i gave the guy back $200, and got my positive feedback. I put myself in his shoes, i mean if i got my new PRS hollowbody II and even though it is a keeper by my high standards, and it was a great price, i would still be bummed to find out after the fact, that the neck was reset at some point.
however, the simpsons video still applies...even though i was wrong

If I ship something to someone and I don't hear from them, I email them asking them to confirm that things are cool. Then I have evidence if I need it. And in this case a month passed because he agreed to ship it to a third party who would then ship to the buyer in Germany, which was a really bad idea. You think the nephew is taking responsibility for this transaction - no way! You can do whatever you want, but without some verification that the transaction is cool before you spend the money, you leave yourself open to this shit. And that verification has to come from the actual buyer.
And btw, don't come at me like I overreacted to your innocent post. You are the one coming at me with the "how long is he supposed to wait, months?" bullshit...
