[quote name='skywalker' post='117878' date='Jan 10 2008, 02:44 PM']The buyer pays the seller who pays the transport company - so the sender has the shipping contract.[/quote] Erm... Thats why I said 'I know what you're saying' However, the onus is on the receiver (usually the buyer) to inspect the goods. If he failed to do that and signed the driver off then there is no proof that the item was damaged in transit. No proof = no claim. It's a sad situation and hopefully the insurance will settle in good faith but they're not legally obliged to if the item was signed for.

Here we go again!!

I quite like this one, apart from the fact that it makes me look like a baldycoot!! However, this just screams.... 'PARDON?'!!

[quote name='bassbloke' post='117790' date='Jan 10 2008, 01:09 PM']My experience on lost or damaged items is that the sender is person who paid for shipping and therefore has a contract with the shipping company. They usually won't even entertain a claim request from the receiver.[/quote] I know what you're saying but the sender usually arranges the transport. 99.9% of the time on ebay its the buyer who has paid for it. bit of a chicken & egg thingy!!

Winter NAMM 2008

I can offer expert advice on bum notes and when to deliver them for maximum effect!! Seriously though, great idea. How about calling it 'The Knowledge BASS'

Did the other guy (the buyer) sign anything on receipt of the amp? If so, that's his word to say the item arrived in A1 condition. I always ask any buyers to open and inspect the goods while the driver is there... they ARE obligated to wait for you to assess any damage. It's the buyer who should claim for damages, not you. Maybe too quick to refund and you might find yourself out of pocket on this. Ask the buyer to return the amp to you after he has taken some photographs of the damage caused. Hopefully the couriers company will accept blame on your word and it will be smooth. However, they will be under pressure from their insurance company to go by the book which means if the parcel was signed as being in top condition then there's not alot you can do about it.

Hurry along now BBC or it's detention for you!

[quote name='paul, the' post='117275' date='Jan 9 2008, 06:15 PM']I like it when people are being themselves. Some women are crude too. Post a six-pack on a girly forum and look at them swarm. I'm jealous; I wish I wasn't so inhibited. We're not all mild-mannered bassists. Trying to restrict others is a horrible way to deal with it, in my opinion. I've yet to see malice. Not from the accused anyway...[/quote] Seen no malice here either. Just some ill thought inappropriate posts from time to time. Also some very well thought informative ones from the same poster. Also, I never mentioned restriction. Censorship should be BANNED , ooh the irony!! Anyway, I hear the bell. Playtimes over.

[quote name='Hutton' post='117269' date='Jan 9 2008, 06:11 PM']Tal is indeed a superb young player. I wonder if she has a big ego?[/quote] The air is thick with innuendo!!

[quote name='TheBigBeefChief' post='117244' date='Jan 9 2008, 06:00 PM']Unfortunately I don't really have a mark.[/quote] But others do and is it any wonder they react? I know it's easy to say 'not my problem' when they react. Humility and respect for others does not take much and will earn you the same. Anyway, the gaffer is here and I can hear the jangling of keys as I type!!

Personally I found BBC's comment funny. It reached my gutter humour. It is also blatantly crude, possibly not to everyone's taste. I think the issue here is not this particular post but a culmination of his attempts to provoke a reaction (+ or -). He's very good at baiting and casting and we are the hungry fish chomping away. It's a forum, not the house of commons (we're actually better behaved!!) but it's also a community. My suggestion to BBC? Keep the humour but think a little before you post and don't be too humble to retract

Dear Acer, I am returning my non beerproof computer monitor in it's soaking wet packaging. Please send repair bill to The BBC!! Love, Tombboy.

I'm guessing I know the answer already" - Dood That had been rephrased! I think women appreciate a bit of honesty. If I met her I'd tell her that if she jumps in the shower and puts a comb through her hair I might give her one. She'd be all over me.[/quote] Sorry, you just can't help but laugh!! Brilliantly obnoxious, chauventistic, sexist and FUNNY!!

Me in Norwich last year. Photographer had had a baileys I think!!

That Ovation brings back memories.... Ross Valory used one on Journey's Escape album and subsequent 1980 tour IIRC. Pure class!!!

Bank it and wait for him to contact you.... I'm pretty sure he will!

You are obviously an experienced ebayer with a 100% feedback so I think you do have every right to feel upset. He did describe it as being in excellent condition. However, (andI don't want to imply that you did anything wrong at all) it's always prudent to do some homework on potential sellers. Check both sides of feedback, ask questions prior to bidding, look at other auctions etc. I don't know, maybe you did and were mislead (no pun intended!). If the amp works now, just put it down to experience and move on. You were correct though in leaving feedback (was it positive?.... I have never left negative or even neutral despite being slightly disgruntled with a few items). Other buyers of his goods will see a pattern emerging. He's obviously new to ebay and hasn't a clue how to sell properly. A few non bidding auctions will soon shake him up.

The 'FrankenRay' I bought off CrazyKiwi last year. Since I got it I haven't really picked up my 30th. Unbelievable tone thanks to the Norstrand guts.
