A bit of a TIM waister if you ask me.
I replied to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/172372-sold/page__fromsearch__1"]Kevin's ad[/url] about a trade of pre-amps (his JE for and Aguilar OBP-3 etc) and all was hunkydory... well apart from despite giving me the impression that we were trading, he answered a question in his FS thread that his preamp was still up for grabs. Once that was cleared up and he'd found out that I had an even more desirable preamp, he wanted that instead... as it was a pre-amp actually used by Sei (his bass). We agreed a cash adjustment and shook hands on it, he gave me a date of when he'd have the pre removed and in the post... he then got in touch the next day to say that he was going to postpone removing the pre from his bass for a couple of days as he'd just remembered he had a few gigs that weekend (?) I was a little deflated by his memory lapse but agreed to wait a few days extra.
The weekend passed, then few days more and I'd heard nothing... not even a reply to my follow up email - in the mean time I'd gone ahead with my side of the deal and removed the pre from my bass. I serviced the pots and re-solder joints to make sure everything was in top nick and as requested I meticulously labelled all the pots and wires for him (it is a rare and slightly complicated pre with not much info about it freely available and he said his soldering skills weren't up to much) and got it boxed up ready to post. I also got my bass prepped in readiness for the incoming JE pre.

Next thing I know his pre is back up for sale again (apparently now sold - although who would have bought it after the comment I left in the thread is beyond me)... no explanations or apologies or anything.

This is the first time I've been compelled to actually post negative feedback for anyone on here but as Kevin had also recently caused another member to lose out on a big sale I thought I speak up.

Just a wee follow up.

After discovering the feedback that I'd left for him above, Kevin got in touch with me via PM here on Basschat. He informed me that he had in fact replied to my email but that it had somehow got lost (although oddly enough all my subsequent replies in our email conversation were present and chronologically correct ) he apologised for the inconvenience and informed me that he was no longer in a position to buy my boutique pre-amp, he did however want to trade for my Aguilar OBP-3 (remember the one that I'd originally contacted him about). Against my better judgement but as my bass was still sitting empty after the previous escapade, I decided to give him a second chance and said ok, and asked how he wanted to proceed... I added that I would amend my feedback if it all went ok. That was on the 26th of April... I got no reply. I've since sent 3 further PM's reminding him of our conversation, again all PMs received no replies. Then on the 15th of May, with no reply, apology or explanation he deleted* our PM conversation.

This further bit of mucking about only reinforces the fact that Kevin simply doesn't know how to conduct himself correctly when involved in a private deal over the internet and is certainly not worthy of a friendly, trustworthy forum such as this.

[size=8][b]Kevin J Buckland [/b][/size][size=4]is an absolute time waster, avoid !!![/size]
[size=8][size=4][color=#FF0000]edit : It has come to light that kjb is one of Kevin's alter egos on here. [/color][url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/4154-soliloquy/"]Soliloquy[/url][color=#FF0000] is another which he may be more well known by.[/color][/size][/size]
[size=8][size=4][color=#FF0000]The mods take the abuse of multiple accounts here on BC very seriously and the case is being dealt with as we speak.[/color][/size][/size]
[size=8][size=4]* Kevin, just because you removed the PMs at your end, it doesn't mean that I don't still have a copy of the conversation at mine. [/size][/size]
