A guy sold me a “mint” unit that is missing its wooden faceplate and logos :doh:

Peavey’s part department only has the Peavey badge logo but doesn’t carry the other parts.

Let me know what you got.

Any leads are appreciated.

Thanks

what I mean is, are you looking for help and leads to track this person down or-
are you looking for help and leads to track down these parts?

but yeah, if someone indeed packaged the amp in box in that condition with those items missing I would say it is not mint. did you file a claim? what was the sales medium? do you have copies of correspondence and pics etc?

Tracking down the parts. Also trying to see if a company/person out there is able to do a faithful re-creation of its missing parts.

I did a PayPal gifted gentleman agreement for this amp; so I'm screwed. Good news is that I love how the amp sounds (modded 6505). At this point I'm just focusing on obtaining its missing parts and paying the extra money :doh:
 
I see. Sorry.

Your thread title was slightly misleading. I thought maybe you were more interested in finding the person who screwed you over (assuming that is what happened). Rig-Talk, as you probably know, has a ton of cool dudes who also hang in other forums/crowds and so somewhat far reaching.

I think your ideal person to find is someone who has modded their 6505 to remove all of those things on purpose. You know. For a new look or whatever and still has those parts lying around.

Can't speak to the 'copies' of these parts but maybe someone on here knows.

You can also ask over on the Peavey forums too if you have not already. I used to hang there a fair bit but have not been in awhile. Otherwise, just forget it. Remove the entire front panel and stick some LEDs in there :D

Good luck dude!

Thanks man.

The Peavey forum is a great idea!

And you are right, a lot of people seem to remove the front on purpose so they might have those parts lying around.
 
Well.. I’ve had some time to think about this.

Here’s the deal. Sorry... the TRUTH. I sent several pictures of the amp via email. In those photos, the amp NEVER had the wooden faceplate, logo, badges, etc on it. None. I purchased the amp without all of the aforementioned badges/wooden faceplate. I was never asked where they were or why they were not on the amp or the like, etc. AT ANY POINT IN OUR CORRESPONDENCE PRIOR TO THE SALE OR AFTER THE TRANSACTION. The amp, as it was pictured in the photos is in mint condition as stated. No dents, rips or tears in the tolex, no cracked or missing pieces off the top vent, etc. I happened to have photos in my phone that I had taken of the inside of the amp when the mods were done and sent them along as well showing immaculate work. The sale was for the amp as it was in the several photos that were sent. I gave him a price and he asked for $50 off. Fine, not a problem. Me being kind, I mentioned that I had an extra footswitch (Marshall style diecast two button with hardwired cable) that I gave him for FREE along with the unused stock Peavey footswitch. Packed to the max for safety and insured for full amount. He receives the amp, compliments the packing job, and then asks where the wooden faceplate and logos are. “You told me the amp was mint. Where are they?” I explained to him that I’m sorry and there must be a misunderstanding, but they were not in the photos, nor were they on the amp. On top of that, you didn’t inquire about them. I said there seems to be a misunderstanding and by no means was it my intention or me trying to mislead you. He said, “I thought you took it off for the photos.” Why would I do that? It makes zero sense. To remove that wooden logo and all the badges is quite the task in of itself and would take a very long time. I had sent him photos within minutes. You can see the choke, bias pot, and the power tubes from the backside of the amp. All this being said, he messages me saying I owe him $35 for a faceplate.

1. You never asked if I’d be willing to work something out like that with you. You went ahead and purchased it all on your own first and THEN emailed me saying I owe you. Wtf!?
2. You provided no proof of purchase, receipt or screen shot of said logo/purchase.

I went online after the message (upset mind you, as I feel like I’m being SCAMMED and forced into buying something that was never discussed between us & he went ahead and did this all on his own) and I found a Peavey logo for $11 on eBay.

I guess my point is, he never asked where the wooden faceplate, the badges or the logo were. He also NEVER asked if I had them in my possession. <------ read that again. The photos I sent show the amp as it is, the mod work, it's condition, and the authentic “made in the USA” sticker with the year on it. This gentleman saying I screwed him is so far from the truth, it’s f*cking upsetting.

I’ve been on this forum for many, many years and have never had an issue with anyone. I have 100% feed back here, on eBay and Reverb.

This person didn’t ask about the faceplate/logos prior to the sale & is now looking for me to pay for them because that’s what HE wants. Pass. $35 isn’t shit. It’s the principle behind it and how I feel like he’s trying to scam me into buying it.

Those of you who know me or have done deals with me throughout out the last ten years.. please chime in. Am I the “SCREWING OVER” type of person?

If it comes down to it or needs to be done, I’ll be more than happy to screen capture the entire transaction/conversation and email it to anyone who knows how to post pictures here for proof. Or, I can just copy and paste the correspondence,


Mark

ps. May I add that HE wanted to do the PayPal gift in order to knock $50 off the asking price. That was not my idea or suggestion. His statement of, "I did a PayPal gifted gentleman agreement for this amp; so I'm screwed." is bullshit. The only gentleman here is me. Scammer.
 
Seems like there's a misunderstanding in the meaning of "mint", if that words was used..?

"Mint condition is an expression used to denote the quality of a pre-owned good as displaying virtually no imperfections and being in pristine condition relative to its original production state. Originally, the phrase related to the way collectors described the condition of coins. As the name given to a coin factory is a "mint", then mint condition is the condition a coin is in when it leaves the mint"

Mint means exactly that. Virtually no imperfections.

“All original” would mean that the item hasn’t been altered from its original state or form. In our conversation I specifically said the amp was modded and listed what work had been done to it along with providing multiple photographs of the amp. None of which had the wooden faceplate, logo , or badges on it. Why not ask if they were included in the sale or if I had them in my possession? He did not.

My use of the word mint described the amp as having no imperfections. Had I said “all original” or “stock”, there’d be a valid argument. That is not the case here.

I’m sorry dude but advertising as “mint” usually means something is pretty much brand new and not missing parts. The ad should have said “missing face plate” or something like that, not mint.

Weird.

Sending detailed photos of the item doesn’t cut it anymore?

There was no advertising. He was looking for a USA made 5150/6505 and I emailed him asking if he would like me to email him pictures and I did. Read my previous post(s) and clink the links of the photos. How more upfront and transparent could I be?

The photos CLEARLY show that there are NO BADGES AND WOODEN FACEPLATE on the amp. He was also told that the amp was modded and NOT STOCK.

The buyer probably should have asked “hey where’s the name plate?” I agree. I don’t know. Seems weird and bad communication on both parties.

You’re missing the point. He’s saying I duped him and went and purchased a logo and THEN emailed me hitting me up for $35 without discussing it with me first.

The photos speak for themselves. That was the amp he was buying...which did not have or come with the faceplate, logos, or badges. Nothing tricky or hiding anything on my part.
 
Did your description of the amp mention that it was missing all these parts but was otherwise mint ? Or did you leave it to the potential buyer to figure it out from pics ??? Mint means mint, not mint but missing a bunch of stuff.

Does it makes sense to you that I would remove a wooden faceplate, remove the logo, and remove all the Peavey badges (which would take roughly 30 mins) to take pictures of the amp to sell it? Serious question. The detailed photos speak for themselves. If the logos/faceplate meant so much to him when initially buying the amp, he could have easily asked if I had them in my possession or if I bought the amp without them.

Anyone who seeks out these types of amps know that people remove all the aforementioned above because it allows the amp/tubes to breathe better and some may prefer that look to stock.
 
none of my biz but i am siding with the seller on this

I'm in no way absolving the buyer for not at least asking questions about the amp's state given the photos you provided him, I guess I'm just taking exception to the word "mint" in this case. I wouldn't have used that particular word in this case. YMMV.

"pristine condition relative to its original production state"

Most of my gear it beat up, and I really don't care about anything but the technical state of it. I like cabs that look like they've been on the road. But I also believe most people would interpret "mint", as in "how it left the conveyer belt" :) If I'd seen pictures of it without the plate, I'd probably ask if you had it, and express concern about a mint item that's missing original parts. But like I said, I probably care less than most about the cosmetic appearance.
 
I’ve done a couple deals with Mark.
Talked with him on phone several times. Guy is a straight up shooter like no other. :thumbsup:
He sells what he shows. If it’s modded ‘via taking off logos’ then it is just that.
Sounds simple enough. He’s not a swindler.
 
This is a case where you take the high road as a seller and send him the $35.00 and move on.
Any other decision is really not worth it. :thumbsup:
