alembic1989 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I've got a gorgeous 70's BC Rich Eagle bass( fretless)... always desired one since a kid. Had it up for sale here a while back...then withdrew it. Actually sold it on Reverb last week and got the money. Had a little play on it before packing it off to Spain... just couldn't do it...its just bloody nice. Refunded the money yesterday and kept the bass...I feel so happy! ....when you just can't let go.. 4 1 1 Quote

bigthumb Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 On here, years ago I bought and sent payment to the seller of a fine Warwick bass only for the seller to message me [and returning the payment] saying that he 'sold' the bass to a family member. Needless to say, 'I was over the moon'. 1 Quote

ambient Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I did something similar 6 or 7 years ago with a really old Yamaha TRB6P. Luckily the guy understood. Quote

Never mind I still got my bass... tough titty mate.. I was with you until the tough tity mate comment. No need. Just blew your credibility. Everyone gets seller's remorse but no need for the attitude. 3 1 Quote

Yes, you're right, and I shouldn't have written that harshly. Sorry. It was the "tough titty" bit that got me over the edge, and just so we know where we stand, you should have made a firm decision before listing it, and you should've stood by that choice. Just imagine the comments here on BC if a guitar player, a drummer or a keyboard player had acted similarly and you had been the buyer... Edited February 21, 2020 by BassTractor 4 Quote

Bleat Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 You already knew this had sentimental value. The "have a little play" on it should have happened either before sale or before any money changed hands. The instrument was effectively the buyers at that moment only for you to have a change of mind at that point? I totally understand the upsetof the buyer. I love Eagle basses and I will only ever dream of owning one. I am sure the fretless versions are even harder to come by. Knowing the sort of value these have and the amount of money most likely handed over by the buyer, I think the "tough titty" attitude is well out of order. 3 Quote

alembic1989 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 My turn to apologize gentlemen...saying " tough titty " was out of order. It all started out with Sellers remorse and my remark was uncalled for. 3 Quote
binky_bass Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Why advertise the fact you welched on a deal? I dont get it... I mean these things happen, fine, I can accept that, but why broadcast it? All you've done is tell everyone on BC to never buy anything from you. Quote

That of course was indeed the purpose of the whole thread: "Hon, I tried to sell it, honest! Noooobody wants to buy it!" I feel so manipulated right now. 😁 Edited February 22, 2020 by BassTractor Quote
Hobbayne Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Maybe this thread should be titled 'Sellers Remorse' Quote
