While that's a problem, it wasn't what prompted me to cancel the listings there. Can't get paid directly via PayPal - must get embroiled in their Reverb Payment bullshit. You get paid when the buyer receives the guitar?? Umm... no. Fuck that. They pay you by depositing the money directly into your account. That's another "Umm... no. Fuck that" scenario. So if you BAMFs can't get your act together, you force me to entertain the entitled wannabe Buffalo Wild Wings Stadium rockers on The Rear Page. Make me an offer on these guitars. I won't bite your head off unless you're a fucking Brent about it.
django49 Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I am just not in a buying situation these days. IF I was, that custom shop Fender would bend my will to try to find a Strat I can actually live with. The icing on the cake......The color and gold anodized guard take me back to the first half way decent guitar I had in the late 60s.....An original DuoSonic. I have heard great things about those pickups, but have not had a chance to try them. Why is that one still available?

I started a PayPal account years ago just for "online transactions"... I don't want these fuk'n yahoos tied to my personal bank accounts 😕
JGale Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 Both companies have a bad case of Investors Needtapleezium. I hear it's going around a lot these days.
veatch Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 I haven't sold anything on Reverb in over 6 months. Back then, I was getting payments as soon as I printed a shipping label. Sounds like that has changed, which is too bad. : / That Mon is *still* very tempting. Just can't swing it right now. I guess that makes me a BAMF...
Dave Scepter Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Dave Scepter said: Ebay's the same way nowadays 😒 Not to mention this crap... a letter from Ebay i just received Hi David, You may have heard about a new tax law that went into effect this year. We believe this new regulation just doesn’t make sense. It creates confusing and unnecessary paperwork for millions of casual sellers on eBay, who will now receive tax forms even when they don’t owe taxes. To help support our sellers, we’ve been working to put pressure on Congress by bringing our community together to make their voices heard. We need sellers like you to speak out today and tell Congress to act in the interest of sellers across the US. Here’s what’s happening Companies like eBay are required to report sales to the IRS using a tax form called a 1099-K. Until recently, you would only get a 1099-K if you sold over $20,000, or more than 200 items. Starting this year, new legislation has lowered that threshold to just $600, even if that was from a single sale all year. Where it gets complicated is you’ll get this form even if you don’t owe anything, because not all sales are taxable–for example, if you sell something for less than you paid for it. That means millions of sellers will now get unnecessary tax forms, creating confusion and pointless paperwork–both for the IRS, and for small-time sellers who aren’t set up to deal with it. Imagine selling an old bike for $800 that cost you $1,500 a few years ago. Since you didn’t make a profit, the IRS doesn’t consider that taxable income. But under this new law, you’re still going to get a 1099-K. And now you’ll have to prove to the IRS that you don’t actually owe any taxes on that sale, which makes for complicated accounting work.
nasonm Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 That Monaco is still tempting to me. I've been looking for a Monaco III but your M looks pretty great, too!

If you had sent a seller a bunch of emails asking for details about weight, neck size, nut width, and yes acoustic voice, and then made an offer so low that you know the seller wouldn't accept it (and that is the true calling card of the BAMF), then one could call you a BAMF. To be clear, a BAMF isn't someone without the means to purchase. It's someone who doesn't have the means but wastes the seller's time anyway and then tells you about some car repair that just popped up, or makes an unrealistically lowball offer knowing the seller won't accept it. Then he buys an Epiphone. That's how you become a BAMF.
