Cat Burrito Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 [quote name='dood' post='1029271' date='Nov 19 2010, 01:20 PM']I think this thread has done it's course really. The OP has hopefully realised that BassChat *isn't* a marketplace with a forum tagged on - it's a thriving community of discussion that happens to have an area for selling goods. Coming along and shouting your mouth off (capitals=shouting) about not being able to sell an instrument will not, as has been clearly been seen here, be met with open arms. If anyone has an issue with how the forum is running, then it's best to PM the Mods or Admins, who will be happy to discuss further. George, if you spent more time getting involved with the community, it wouldn't take long for you to realise what a great place this is to be. However, If it doesn't suit what you want or need, You are not being forced to stay here - but there's more than 10,000 people who log in to BassChat who do enjoy it![/quote] Plus one million to all of this. I think like the Marcus Muller thread or whatever he was called we should be calling time on this. Like Retroman I to agree a couple of the comments are starting to border on cyber bullying and quite frankly people, we are better than that... whatever we think of the comments in the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleblob Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't think I have time to read the whole thread, but what a very strange attitude from the OP. There happens to be a recession at the moment, so people are less inclined to buy than say two years ago, I see the same problem with instruments on ebay, I'm watching a couple of lovely instruments at the moment that I'd love to buy but cannot afford to take the chance on spending money I might be in desperate need of in a couple of months if work dries up. For the record neither instrument even got a bid when they were last listed. Is it possible you're trying to sell something nobody wants or at a price nobody's prepared to pay.

Bassassin Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Well, I don't suppose the poor sod's feeling any too happy about this at the moment. But really - what the hell did he [i]think[/i] was going to happen? He might think twice about chucking his rattle around & having a paddy next time - both online & out there. I'm kind of of the opinion that on the whole, the world might be a slightly better place if more people had it explained to them when they were acting like a right twat. J.

Happens to me too. And then there's the fact that most of the stuff I look at and go 'I'd like that' is miles away and collection only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Can't believe I've missed this thread. Well, I'm not going to take sides - all I will say is that since I joined BC a little under two years ago (for the express purpose of buying a bass, no less ), I've found a real community here of like-minded souls, full of good advice and what-not. BC is what you make it - if you don't contribute to the forum, well, I just think you're missing out on a wealth of information, knowledgeable folks and shared experiences etc. Looking at what I've acquired in that time from other BC'ers is quite amazing: Ibanez ATK-305 EBS 4x10 cab EBS 1x15 cab Boss TU-2 SansAmp Paradriver Some strings + misc bits Oh, and I've met some of you guys face to face (either through transactions or at Bass Bashes), so I think I've come out ahead. And if I have anything to sell, you guys get first dibs Seriously, I think the OP may have had a run of bad luck trying to sell, and has vented his frustration, but everyone's feeling the pinch right now - lots of folks in the same boat.
