chrismuzz Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 This is all very strange taking into consideration the OP's Previous feedback. I hope a suitable solution comes soon this situation really sucks! All the best with it 73 Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73Jazz Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 You may call me stupid or ignorant, but i still do not believe, that he tries to rip me off. But on the other hand the point, where he should have sent the bass has passed. Thank you very much guys. Hazbeen, what a Nice touch.Thank you very much for your effort!

jsixties Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I bought a bass from Sean past year and all the transaction was flawless, so it's a strange situation. Hope this would be solved asap mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkonthehill Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 [quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1326024472' post='1491109'] Just read this post.... wow, what a terrible situation. I hope the moderators do what they can to help, as someone with 500 posts would be deemed "safe" by most of us. I did some cyber sleuthing on this Sean.Robinson and it seems he is a bit of a BMW nut. Anyway, 73Jazz, going through his online footprint i found his home phone number and will PM this to you. [/quote] Even if this all works out well which im sure we all do...............Hazbeen that is a cracking bit of help for the OP....I applaude you sir.

dmccombe7 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm sorry and embarrassed for us all who contribute to BC. This is a disgrace to our forum. I can only hope it is resolved soon. Its a bit odd that he has a good history and feedback section. Is it possible he is on holiday over the seasonal period. Some people don't return to work until tomorrow and if he is away from home he may not have access to PC. Just a thought. I wouldn't have access myself however i wouldn't put something up for sale or accept someone's money without telling them i couldn't post until a certain date.

HazBeen Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I sure hope for everybody that this is all a very unfortunate misunderstanding, as how can we ever buy without doing it face2face if this starts happening. Come on Sean, it's not too late to make it happen yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73Jazz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 can't believe such a behaviour.. got him on phone. he was very inpolite and he told me that he has informed me, that he will be delayed.. sure on 26th december that he will send the bass in the next days.. additional to that he allegedly didn't receive my emails.. only those to the point where money has been transfered. i told him to check this thread here. he said he will send the bass at the end of this week and then i will get a tracking id. we will see.

[/quote] Should remove him from Basschat for this kind of behaviour. Its an embarrassment to the forum having people behave like this for no apparent reason and not prepared to post a reason, excuse or whatever might have been an issue in sending. I was actually prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was away from his PC etc over the festive period but doesn't look like it. I guess some people are just a waste of space. I will now think twice before buying or selling via Basschat unless its cash in hand and pick up only. Pity as i was enjoying this forum up until i read this thread. Hope it pans out ok in the end for you 73jazz. You have my sympathy on this one. Cheers Dave Edited January 11, 2012 by dmccombe7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 In my experience, this is the only deal I've heard of on here that's gone sour. This could happen all the same with ebay, or even through Amazon marketplace, buying anything online always has a tiny amount of risk... I'm sure there will be a very good reason for this going wrong once the dust settles, I don't believe that Sean would behave in this way out of badness. I also must add how well 73Jazz has handled this, you are a polite, honest and very fair man. I'm sure this will be sorted soon Eude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But infortunately i couldn`t find one good reason. Even if there is one, 1 email to inform me, wouldn´t be expected too much, i think.
