F***ing eBay w***ers!

chrisj1602

I had a f***king eBay w***er last year and it really stressed me out for a few days, wondering if I was going to be out of pocket. I sold a virtually new HX Effects. I’d updated it and used HX Edit and it was fully working and immaculate.

The buyer, after a few days had clearly done something wrong with the software side of things and started sending me angry messages and telling me he could have afforded a new one.

I’ve had several Helix family products and what he was saying wasn’t adding up, I was sure it user error and I politely suggested he raised a ticket with Line 6, which he did and the problem was quickly resolved.

He couldn’t find it in himself to admit it was user error, or apologise for his rude messages, so he told me again that he could have afforded a new one, then left me neutral feedback.

I hate the very existence of ‘neutral feedback’. In a platform where the overwhelming majority of votes are positive, there’s nothing neutral about voting neutral. It’s an invitation to be passive aggressive.

@Fiftyshadesofjay you’re a very nice man.

“ I'll throw in a brand new set a full set of Russian tubes tdeboot, so it should be ayou electrically apart from minor use from myself. Apparently, the person I bought it from. Said it had been checked over from black star. And he used to work there so he said I have no reason to disbelieve him.  He didn't give me any documentation but he was a very nice man and if he's a meanable. I'm listening this now with a reasonable reserve and a buyer now. For anyone who wishes to secure it but I assure you”

I genuinely thought that you were taking the proverbial with that quote. Then I read the eBay listing. Good. Grief.

I strongly suspect he typed that description whilst pissed.

I bought it recently, it responds and is rather scratchy in sound. You have to strum yoghurt or loud I have looked inside.

Good luck.

^ How do you "strum yoghurt or loud" ?
Genuinely baffled, not stirred, shaken or whipped into a frenzy...

The lid1878 Ve. That well known dual triode, a direct replacement for the ECC83. If that's a Mullard you've basically made your money back.

And it's, er, sold?
