This reads like every text convo my husband has 😆 (he owns a guitar company). The guitar / gear community is one of the most wholesome, supportive out there.
2nd-weirdest eBay deal I ever had was for some used pedals.
Sent completely different item, denied, called me a scammer, said my language in the claim was derogatory, while also stating unprompted he’s “not Jewish, at all, but many make that mistake due to my name ending in -berg” 😂
My dad’s an older guy that buys uncommon bike things and I’ll go pick them up for him. This is the same conversation I have with those dudes (minus the shredding usually).
love it when i get a box in the mail and it has drawings on it. the guy was obviously jacked to get some money, which he is absolutely going to spend on more guitar crap.
i buy a lot of camera stuff from guys like this. genuinely a joy. i also love trying to be this person to people who buy from me but a lot seem to think it’s weird
Which is weird because like the people I always re shop with are those who are super good about communication. I buy a shit of prints and gift supplies from Etsy sellers who do good customer service for that exact reason.
Reminds me of the time I bought some flightsim gear off a dude on FB who offered to take me flying and later congratulated me on my wedding. Hobbydudes are the best
nothing like a new pedal! i recently got a compressor (already had one on my bass board, no idea why it took me so long to get one for guitar) and i feel like i have super powers now, sustain for days

No space on the board, nothing... but I want one.
Buying used gear on reverb/ebay is usually a treat. Big "we could be friends" energy.
lol but also hmm?
