. Concerning myself! Or maybe not? Dear friends! For the past 10 years I buy now left handed basses on the Internet. So far no problems. But what I have been experiencing for a few months has disappointed me and makes me angry! Either the proceedings for a bass stop for no recognizable reason and the seller is no longer reachable via email, or even more frustrating, they don´t want to ship the bass to Germany! But the worst thing of all is that we will agree on trade, I send the money and nothing happens! Before I will make a report I want to ask you for help! This bass has been offered to me from Italy:
Yamaha TRB 5 II L Here is my question to you: Was this bass sold back in times to Italy? If yes, to whom? The seller used advantage of the following email address: Lele <musicbyfriend@aol.it> Email: ArniBi@gmx.net What´s your experiences with those deals? Please let me know and use this forum: http://s1.zetaboards.com/Arni/forum/726741/ Arni |
