Rolling The Dice...

I've just bought two items from Gumtree both from different sellers, paid for both via bank transfer, let's see if either actually arrive!! 😂

Livin' on the edge me!

Let's hope the sellers don't take the... mick.

I did check that they weren't 'Stone Cutters'...

I won't send them now that I know it's you.

[binky_bass]

Don't make me press one of those buttons... 

[Hellzero]

I put a wet towel around my head. Go on, try to push all buttons at the same time ! 

[binky_bass]

Alright Arnie!

[Hellzero]

One item has arrived safe and sound! If the other also arrives then it will prove to me that not all humans are terrible!! 

[Hellzero]

Are you sure ?

[binky_bass]

Well, it turns out that in fact not all humans are 100% awful! 

The second item arrived today, and not only was it in almost unused condition, the sender also included a set of unused Zildjian Travis Barker sticks! Considering I only paid £10 for the case, that was remarkably kind of them. 

There are some good eggs out there, not everyone is a Mason! 😂

[binky_bass]

To be fair, they were both pretty low value items, so minimal risk to me and minimal point for the seller to cause an issue by not sending them. I'm not sure I'd do it with anything worth more than a few quid though! Still nice to know that in the land of scammers that is online sales platforms, there are still good eggs! 

[MrDaveTheBass]

If I'd known you were so trusting, I wouldn't have bothered to open the door when you came round to pick up the Laney the other week! 😉

 

How's it sounding BTW?

[binky_bass]

Sounds great! I've currently got it paired with an Eden Time Traveller combo where the head on that doesn't seem to work any more, but the speaker is still does, so the Laney is acting as the stand-in head for that combo!

Ha, I did this just recently with my purchase of a Yamaha BB1025x, from the marketplace here.

Cacking myself that I'd not made a mistake, especially after the ParcelForce 24hr service that was used delivered it a day late.

Thankfully I knew something was on its way to me as there was a tracking number provided which had sporadic updates from ParcelForce.

Turns out all was well and the bass is amazing to play.
