    I have the MO in my possesion but haven't cashed it yet... hopefully I will send the amp before Monday. Kinda tough when I am moving also. Thanks for your patience..!

    Thanks , Jeff...

    Well hope hes does whats right and gives you an update. Some people dont understand the value of communication. Even if he is busy moving etc he should at least be giving updates or he shouldnt have even offered up the amp for sale. Thats my 2

    Not sure here but it sounds like if he is moving he may very well not have access to the internet. He was hoping to ship by yesterday, thats not really a long time to wait before getting concerned. If he hasnt responded or you havent received your amp by the end of the week then I might be concerned.



    REGARDSSNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Well, I don't know Jeff at all, but I'm not sure about "most" people getting online with their cellphones. I do know that moving totally messes me up (I moved last June/July), and I totally hate it! I'd give the guy a few days to get his computer out of the box, and the internet working ... he may even have had to change service provider, and that can cause all sorts of delays (new modem, line not working properly, new installation required ... etc. etc.)

    P.S. moving and divorce?! I can't imagine what sort of confusion that would cause! I hope it all gets cleared up soon. Something fishy about the whole PayPal thing though (from that For Sale thread).
    Alea jacta est!

    if it was me and i was selling something here or anywhere online, i'd make sure i could ship it pronto!

    yeah the paypal thing. i guess i should have known better. it was late. i've lost alot of chances with these amps..i hope he's just out of touch

    Sorry for the guy on the Divorce/Move. Bottom line if you offer up something to sell be sure you are still able to communicate and ship the unit in a timely manner. Sure hes busy but mike sent prompt payment he should at least give prompt responses/updates as 300.00 is a chunk of change.

    Well, I do think he should have at least asked to exchange cell phone numbers so that you could stay in touch, in case of problems with internet based communication. Maintaining communication helps to alleviate a lot of the concern, especially when a "no refund possible" money order has been used, after some funky story with PayPal has prevented the buyer getting any protection from either PayPal or a credit card issuer (chargeback possible when the PayPal transaction is funded with a card). Let's just hope it all works out!
    Alea jacta est!

    Yeah ... that's the part I don't like, along with the PayPal thing. Hang in there sda2mike! I don't think there is much you can do at this point but cross your fingers and wait.

    How about we make the suggestion that in the future, we all refrain from buing from guys saying that their lives are in limbo because they are moving/divorcing/evicted/etc. It seems to happen just about every time one of these desperation sales comes up in the FM. I'm sure Jeff will come around, but I'd venture to say (in his mind) he has more pressing issues right now than cashing a money order and shipping an amp. Not to say I am giving this guy a free pass for leaving you in the dark, but I can see how it would happen.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
