This is correct. On top of that, I have accounts on UPS, USPS, and FedEx which all show incoming packages and even regular mail items regardless of whether tracking was provided or not. If others don't have this, please make accounts on these sites and enable Informed Delivery. It'll help keep you up to date on what is heading your way and by which date. If it wasn't for those, I probably would have continued waiting this out.
Wow... I usually stay out of these bad deal threads but this is pretty fucked. Dude offers a refund on the spot but back peddles without offering any tracking and has now opted out whining like a bitch. I dont know this guy but ANYONE who pulls what this guy did in an open forum is pretty much the definition of a scammer! If ya sent it, provide tracking.. if not.. you already offered a refund. Ya really wanna get dragged thru the mud over $50?

Honor and integrity are very valuable. Worth a lot more than a $50 hot rail.

I understand that people get busy and may not be able ship asap, but at least give a heads up saying something. A little communication goes a long way. A lot of us don't know each other besides our username, but we all look out for each other. No one wants to see a member get screwed.

VanMalmsteen responds just like Fatbagg did in past posts.....I think Panhead is correct as to who this is.

It's really not difficult to send a quick message, even if the message is "hey man, I'm super busy this weekend, Ill try and get your pickup sent out Monday/Tuesday/whatever - I'll give you a heads up when it's sent out"

There’s a concurrent thread over on TGP from Fatbagg under another username that ripped off a guitar + cash trade. Cash was sent to Fatbagg and he went silent on following through on the rest of the deal.
Seems he’s back to fucking people over on here too with pedals and pickups claiming he has 9 of the same exact pickup without actually saying anything about inventory ahead of time or selling many of the same one in the same original thread (suspicious as fuck).

Especially since he couldn't PM code001 about shipping, yet PMed me back to sell the same pickup he already sold.

Did he actually pay the person for the item?

Fatbagg never refunded $2,200 he stole from @khprojects. I doubt the wah pedal, the pickup, and the cash for the fucked trade deal on TGP are all never going to get refunds ever either.

It's a shame that there's people out there who scam others. unfortunately, it will never end.

yes he did. then tried to sell it again to another member. Of course he tried to say he had 5 of them. I banned him out of G.P.
