butlerk02 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Afternoon all, I'm want to buy something from a guy in East Kilbride via Gumtree, but I'm having problems sorting out the logistics of the deal. He doesn't have a paypal account (and doesn't want one or anything similar), and he doesn't want to give me his bank details either for bank transfer (fair enough). Without travelling the 300 miles myself to go and collect it and paying cash, does anyone have any other suggestions? Normally i'd just sack it off and look elsewhere, but I really really want what he has. Cheers Keith Edited July 10, 2012 by butlerk02 Quote

You transfer them cash ( + a little beer money) and they send you the bass after collecting it off of him? Quote
butlerk02 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 How does C.O.D work Bilbo? Collection from another basschatter would be cool also, beer money would be fine : ) Anyone near the East Kilbride area interested in doing a fellow basschatter a favour? Quote
Graham Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Get your bank to raise a cheque (Nationwide charge £10.00 for this, not sure about others) and mail it to him? Quote
butlerk02 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 I think the last resort would be sending him a cheque. Was just hoping for something a little easier and quicker. Quote
butlerk02 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 Basschat is amazing. Cameron has kindly offered to go and pick it up and post it back down to me. Three cheers for him, and thanks to everyone for their kind suggestions. Cheers Keith Quote
uncle psychosis Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Good stuff Basschat is awesome. For future reference, theres no way I'd ever send a postal order / bank transfer to some random on gumtree. I'm nervous enough about using those methods with people who I "know" through forums, never mind a total stranger! Quote
BottomE Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Good man Cameron. Thats what i am talking about. Quote

merello Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Was it a Schecter? Great move by Cameron btw! Quote

Anyway, way to go Cameron.....lets start an institute of mutual consideration. It's a while since I heard of someone going out of their way to help someone. Quote
BassTractor Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 [quote name='charic' timestamp='1341981928' post='1727330'] I meant of the bass being picked up! [/quote] OK. Here you go: Quote
