xgsjx Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I've got to agree with GEOFIO, I've been on here for a few years and never bought or sold anything on here! Saying that, I've not had anything to sell & the only things that I have bought have been a new combo from the Bass Merchant, an mf-101 from Kenny's Music (because it was only £149!), some accessories from a couple of other stores & a set of flats from stringbusters. If I had some money to spend, there's plenty of things on here that I'd love to buy, but I'm skintos! Anyone wanna buy a house in Perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 (edited) Since joining this website i've managed to Sell: Bc Rich Mockingbird Bass Precision Bass copy Ashdown 4x10 cabinet Trace Elliot GP12 head Ashdown ABM head Samson S Com Compressor Various bass pieces Buy: Trace Elliot head (not the same one as sold) Various bass pieces (alot of them even been sent for free, that shows the community spirit of this site) Ashdown cabinet (for a friend) Korg DTR2000 tuner I can honestly say this is one of the very few websites on the net that I would be sad about if it closed. Fantastic site, very informative and very friendly/helpful people on here. So Geofio, you are in fact wrong and very rude!

BoomBass Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hm... there are 1790 topics in the feedback section. Typically, you start ONE thread and let people rely to that thread with feedback... There are almost 7800 replies! OK, not all of them may be related to specific sales, but there can be absolutely no doubt that many, many people have bought/sold gear (including basses) on this site! I have bought/sold around 5 basses over the last year or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='geofio' post='1028426' date='Nov 18 2010, 08:58 PM']GOOD TO SEE SO MANY REPLIES AT LEAST IT PROVES THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE ON HERE!!!! NOT EVERYONE HAS A RICK OR 1975 JAZZ BASS TO SELL MY POINT IS I HAVE A NICE SHECTER DAMIEN 4 STRING ACTIVE FOR SALE AND NOT A PEEP!!! I HAVE PURCHASED A RICK FROM THIS SITE 18 MONTHS AGO SO I KNOW THAT YOU CAN GET A GOOD DEAL ON HERE IT JUST SEEMS TO HAVE DIED A DEATH , AND AM NOT GETTING AT ANYONE , JUST FRUSTRATION. CHEERS GEORGE[/quote] If you really have an instrument to sell then this sort of thing is really not going to help people want to deal with you, I certainly wouldn't based on this thread, but perhaps you had a bad day when you started it, fair enough Please do not attack this site or its members though, the site is provided free, which means people put time into it, only asking for donation which it doesn't enforce if something sells Also, its great that people can comment on the basses in the threads, it makes it more browsable than a normal for sale section, which assists your sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 According to your profile, Geofio, you have been a member for two and a half years. In all that time you have posted 21 times, all about selling items. Not exactly an active, contributing and valued member of BassChat are you? So stop your whingeing and price your bass right and it might sell. PS, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I think he's right to complain and we should offer him his money back...... Mods, clearly you're not spending enough time/money with ranking searches and buying adwords on his behalf.... Hang on, have I got the wrong end of the stick here? Sorry, I forgot this is free (donation supported) site for Bass enthusiasts to share info rather than a commercial marketplace... Maybe he should spend his money on Evilbay - but that costs money to list and sell though.... I bet Caps Lock does not work there either... More seriously I would have assumed he was a troll from the first post. Hoever his record of pretty much only posting things to sell, rather than making any form of positive contribution, suggests he really does not understand how forums work... IMHO of course... I've found Basschat an excellent place - probably the best UK focused musical forum there is in fact...
