I have met some people who are iffy about buying stuff on here but I just want to say that I have had a bunch of dealings in the last year or two, initiated by this board. An iriver, a keyboard exchange, guitar amp, fretless bass, guitar cab, midi interface, mixer, blah blah blah. Everyone has been great who I've dealt with

I always thought it'd be a good idea to have some sort of feedback thing implemented, I don't know how and it's not really necessary but it still would help

I don't even really remember the usernames of everyone I've dealt with but I think... the box drone, that "other" guy in black tie social, kyle of blind eye, who was the bass... mactac I think?, Mofo

What have you bought on here? Who have you dealt with? Has anyone ever had a negative experience? - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 5:43am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 5:55am

I've both bought and sold equipment on here and every exchange has been great. I'll be selling off a few more items in the near future and this is the first place I'll go to do it. 'Caveat emptor' or buyer beware applies to any type of exchange, whether originating here or the newspaper or ebay. Peace - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 6:50am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 6:56am

I'm the "other" guy in black tie! or *was*.... :(
I agree, I've had several transactions - buying, selling, and trading - and they've all gone off without a hitch. Can't say the same for even my few eBay purchases. - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:31am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:34am

Yeah, I've had great results both buying and selling here. I think it's a great resource and this section is definately my favorite part of the board (or the section I've found the most useful anyways). - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 10:49am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 10:51am

I'm the dude who sold ya the Iriver (hope its working out for ya)...
I have never had any probs with anything bought or anyone dealt with....all in all I think that if you are a musician and are selling something to another musician you know how pissed you would be if you bought a piece of shit, so you probably wouldn't sell a piece of shit...thats what I like to think anyways... - Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:54am Edited: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 11:57am

I've had no problem buying items from sellers but trying to SELL can be difficult. I've encountered two instances with flaky buyers but that can happen when selling anywhere. - Tue, 11 Apr 2006 12:15pm Edited: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 12:18pm

I have bought and sold gear on here with no issues at all.
Dax sold me some excellent equipment at a great price.
Guess you could say musicians are generally honest people.
Besides the occasional redundant topic this forum is a great place to trade gear. - Wed, 19 Apr 2006 6:45pm Edited: Wed, 19 Apr 2006 6:46pm

I do it all the time. Never fails. Small music Community. I find that if you buy (new) from the same person (colin@landM) then when you sell it used, its easier. After a deal, i always say,,,,,,,if something fux up, call Colin and LandM tell him i sold it to you, he will know whats up". Thats always easier. Also, KARMA is a bitch. Don rip people off. I never do. - Thu, 20 Apr 2006 11:37pm Edited: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 11:39pm
