Reverb Shipping Scam?

[FourT6and2]

Ya because that guy really needed to scam $100 out of you somehow with this elaborate shipping scam. The guy sells top shelf amps with perfect ratings. Yet somehow this is an issue for you?

I guess I'm just not as trusting to total anonymous strangers on the internet as you.

Well that’s why they have a rating system. You usually see what people have to say about them and judge accordingly. Buyers are happy, usually means it’s ok to buy. People with 3 stars or less should be a red flag.

How about asking what you want for the amp and ask reasonable shipping. This allows the item to be insured for it real price instead of offset pricing? It's simply unnessesarry and unreasonable.

You're starting to run out of material. I think you set the bar a little too high for yourself. I'm disappointed.

Exactly.

And disable "offers accepted" if you're a snowflake.

Dude, you offered $500 less than asking price. And you got it. I guess things aren’t so simple. There are so many layers of intricacies to be imagined.

No no no, you can't just revert back to a previous troll. You gotta find some new material man. Here are some suggestions:

1. Make fun of my user name
2. Make fun of my avatar
3. Search my past threads/posts to find a straw man to bring up here
4. Make fun of my car again. I think you gave up too easily on this one. Maybe talk about how your friend's Mustang is better or something?
5. I dunno, I can't do everything for you

This topic is the definition of inverted reality.

Carry on.

Hypothetical, since it's the busiest shipping time of the year. Due to no fault of either the seller or buyer, the package is damaged during shipping. Is it reasonable for the seller to only be reimbursed from the shipper, only the sale price, which is disproportionately low, while the seller is getting $220 over what the rest of sane sellers are charging doe shipping?

Yeah that's a possibility? I dunno, I wanted to just avoid the whole situation entirely. Why not sell something for $1 + $2,999 shipping. Now THAT'S a scam.

Except you forget that he accepted the offer taking a hit of $500 off his original price. I fail to see how this guy is scamming.

$300 for shipping is a scam

 

[scottosan]

So, the seller wants 3k for the amp plus shipping. OP offers $2800 shipped. So if there is no scam, the seller nets $2700 after actual shipping, which is only 10% under what he wanted for the amp. That is a reasonable offer by any definition.

$300 for shipping is a scam

“The maximum reimbursement will not exceed the value of the item's sale price on Reverb.”

So the OP offers 2500 + 300. Seller counters with 2600 + 200.

Didn’t the seller just do the OP a favor according this rule?

No. Overcharging the buyer for shipping and circumventing Reverbs fee structure is enethical whether it double or triple the cost.

LMAO. So now we need to police the exact cost of shipping. Give me a break....Ever heard the term shipping and handling. It takes time and cost of material to pack an amp not just the cost of what the shipping company charges. If you don’t like it, move on.

This is beyond hilarious now.

There is a difference between exact and reasoable, but apparently reasonable is hard to grasp for some people.

Buddy you still don’t get it. Seller had make an offer option. OP made an offer. Got a good deal. Seller reduces shipping, takes a hit on amp price. This is not a scam! Damn.

You are acting like $300 shipping for an amp is normal, common. The reality is that you'd be hard pressed to find even a handful of people doing that for CONUS shipping on any forum or auction site. Go look at 20 random listings and report back how many are even close to $300 for shipping an amp.
