alex_1_2_3 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Samuel recently bought my Tascam Bass Trainer, payment was quick and comms were fine. Alex
1976fenderhead Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I too am not happy with dealing with Samuel and after reading this thread I'm surprised people still buy or sell stuff from him... I'll definitely not buy or sell anything on here again before checking this section... I sold him an EBS Multidrive. The deal was £75 paid by PayPal marked as a gift so I wouldn't pay fees. Upon receiving the PayPal payment confirmation email, I posted the pedal the next day, only to find later that he HADN'T marked it as a gift, so PayPal took £2.75 in fees. I asked him about it and he said he was sure he had marked it as a gift and was going to see what had happened and solve it for me (pedal hadn't arrived yet). Once the pedal arrived, any subsequent communications went pretty much ignored. It's only £2.75, but that was pretty much the postage cost, and I like that when stuff is agreed upon, people stick to it. Therefore, my recommendation from my case and from much more serious ones above, is [u]don't deal with this guy[/u].
Flex Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Bought a strap from Samuel and arrived as agreed with no issues. Item as described and no hassles at all. Cheers Flex
Bassmonkey Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Bought some Dr Neon strings from Samuel. All good. Posted in good time. Happy buyer. Andy
Hutton Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I bought an SM58 mic from samuel. The transaction and delivery were faultless. However, we obviously disagree on what 'great condition' means. I must ask for pics in future.
discreet Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Sold S a Markbass Mark Stand. I was paid, I despatched item, the item was received, all good. Thanks very much. Edited February 5, 2013 by discreet
Ghost_Bass Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Just traded pedals with Samuel, no message was left unanswered and he is a great guy to deal with. I read some bad experiences here but i have to say mine was good considering international shipping was involved, no problems. Thanks Samuel, cheers
Bigwan Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Samuel replied to my wanted ad for a micro thumpinator. Price was really good, but comms were a little lacking after payment and shipping was a little slower than what I've come to expect from a basschat transaction. Still the cheapest micro thumpinator I've seen anywhere though!
Telebass Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Samuel bought a Badass II from me. All good and great comms! Den
MB1 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 MB1. "No Trouble Here!" Bought a MM scratchplate off Samuel ...Hasslehoff free Transaction prompt delivery! Buy Sell and Trade with confidence Many Thanks Martin.
Paul S Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Bought a Badass II from Samuel. Relatively straight forward transaction. I'd buy from him again.
MB1 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 MB1. "No Trouble Here! ...Again!" Bought a MB Chorus Great Price and Condition Absolutely Mustard! Many Thanks Martin.
Thunderbird Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 [quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1339843818' post='1695230'] Started discussions on the Multicomp 10/6 Paid 11/6 Picked it up from the delivery office this morning (16/6) they having tried to deliver 15/6 So all in all good for me. My only suggestion to Samuel, in light of the comments above, would be to try to keep the comms up throughout to include confirming safe receipt of funds/ posting details. Going quiet after agreeing terms and being told the transfer has been made, even if all is OK as here, can tend to make the buyer twitchy. No blame, just a thought [/quote] Pretty much this bought some tab books and all is OK but communication is lacking after terms agreed and payment sent and delivery was a bit slow but all in all an OK transaction.
fretmeister Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I bought an EBS Stanley Clarke wah from him. The advert wanted payment on the day, so I did that. Before 11am in fact. On 19th June. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210431-ebs-wah-stanley-clarke-version/page__p__2116367__hl__ebs%20wah__fromsearch__1#entry2116367"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/210431-ebs-wah-stanley-clarke-version/page__p__2116367__hl__ebs%20wah__fromsearch__1#entry2116367[/url] It said "Boxed and in great condition" On 24th June he ignored my request for an update on postage. On 25th he told me "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hi Paul yes it's on it's way to you mate"[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It still hadn't arrived. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]On 26th it still hadn't arrived - and he blamed his wife, telling me that SHE had posted it on Monday (24th June)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Still nothing![/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]On 29th (ignoring his earlier message that his wife had sent it on 24th June) he told me that it had to go by Parcel Force due to the weight.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It arrived this morning. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The packaging is f***ing awful. The box was in a bin bag with a tiny bit of tape. The bin bag was open at one end so the box was open to the elements. The box itself looked like it had been trodden on at some point. There was no structural strength in the box at all - therefore no protection. There was no padding / bubble wrap in the box either. The pedal was just banging around in it.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The advert says "Great Condition" when in actual fact the paint is scratched away to the yellow undercoat in some places AND the base plate is bent and has come away from the middle of the housing - it bows out in the middle. It is not even in 'average' condition. [/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]I will be carefully testing it later, and I'll update this then.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]And finally - what a surprise - the date of postage is on the Parcel Force label. It had not been sent when he said "on it's way" and it had not been sent by his wife last Monday either.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fortunately I paid by paypal as a purchase transaction. If the pedal doesn't function completely perfectly I will be opening a dispute.[/font][/color]
lurksalot Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Just about a year from the last feedback and must sadly report a lack of improvement from the previous input . I would not be interested in having dealings with Samuel again .
Deedee Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) BEWARE !!! My first bad experience buying on BC. My bad for not checking feedback first. 'Samuel' responded to my wanted ad for a Trace cab cover. This is what he described as 'as new condition'. Covered in crap, a hole in the top and the corner glued so tightly where it has been ripped that it barely even fits the cab anymore. No response from my displeasure. Steer very clear Edited July 15, 2015 by Deedee
icastle Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Due to multiple complaints this person will no longer be using the BC Marketplace.
