I do not like to say bad things about anyone as I prefer to make friends vs enemy's. That said, be careful with "Philly wood". Don't say I didn't warn you!
You have quite a set on you.
You ripped me off and I'm the bad guy?
I did not rip you off ! I offered you a refund, just cover my shipping cost. You we're not even man enough to call me and work it out before pulling the PayPal "fire alarm"
This seller zee1usa advertised a "
NEW limited edition Marshall AFD100 $1750"
http://www.rig-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=116088
He asked for a Paypal gift payment. I told him I did not want to use the gift option but I would add $25 (for a total of $1775). He agreed and I sent the $1775 payment.
The amp arrived and as I was taking it out of the box I noticed 2 gouge marks where the back had been pried off with a screwdriver or some other tool. I stopped right there and contacted the seller and told him that this was not a "NEW" amplifier (as advertised) and I wanted to return it immediately (at my expense) for a refund.

Purchased from a rig talk member brand new with less than an hour and you have the receipt
He told me that “I got a great deal” and he won’t accept a return. He then a couple days later added some nonsense about restocking fees to his signature here on RT:
Because of people like you, I had to add that.
At the time I bought this amp from him, there were 2 amps for sale cheaper (1 online and 1 local) I only bought this from him (and paid a premium) because he listed it as NEW. This amp is not NEW.
(Prove it) You got a smoking deal
He is not even the original owner of this amp. I contacted the music store listed on the receipt he provided and the store informed me this item was sold to someone with a different name than his and it had been delivered almost a year ago.
you need to ask questions before you buy things such as DATES, photos etc. Also I have proof of 4 members including the purchaser to back up my claims and they are respected forum members here and friends with Brad. The amp was pre ordered on a waiting list is why the dates are different, also I had the amp in my possession for awhile. This does not change the fact that the amp was and is in new condition.
I also believe the tubes have been swapped but cannot prove it. This amp has 5 12ax7 tubes. 3 of them have 2009 date codes and 2 have 2011 date codes. Is it possible Marshall shipped a new amp with 2009 tubes in 2011? I don’t know.
Ya, you don't know! you already admitted to taking apart the amp and if you damaged it and send it back to me that way your going to pay for it
So I ask you Nick, Why would someone have to “be careful” dealing with me? What was it that I, as the buyer, did wrong? You have my $1775 and I have a damaged amp that was advertised as new?
