so i buy this $200/shipped jet city 20w head & cab,send payment immediately and now...the wait! i get ONE message about a day after i paid for the amp and the seller says that he will get the amp/cab sent out in the next day or two and e-mail me the tracking number(as i requested).....days go by,no futher response back from the seller.a whole week goes by,still no response back even after sending another PM to the seller and also shooting him a direct e-mail.no response.about 10-12 days go by,then finally,i get a surprise knock on the door from the FedEx delivery guy.it's a BIG box,so i'm thinking it's gotta be the damn amp head & cab.it was.........................ok,so the good news: i DID receive BOTH the jca20h amp & matching 1x12 cab,as promised..........bad news: the seller shipped both items together in a real large box with air-filled packing bubbles BUT the amp and cab were sitting BARE next to each other so as you can imagine the front of the 1x2 cab's outer edges have rubbing scars,a good sized spot where the tolex is torn thru and a little damage to the grillecloth material....all the seller had to do is at least put each item in a large plastic bag to shield one from another during movement in shipping also,one of the amp head's bottom rubber "feet" are broken off.the sheet metal screw is sheered clean off.the rubber foot is in the shipping box though.the rest of the amp head is fairly clean,a few minor tolex rub marks here & there.the cab took most of the beating on the front side.too bad the backs of each item werent facing each other.who cares if the back has some cosmetic damage,right? also,the packing was about 3/4 of the box being "filled up".that of course,left room inside for the head & cab to move/shift around,bumping into each other the WHOLE way here...otherwise,both items function 100% from what i can tell.the seller listed the stuff as "in new condition-played only 15 minutes".i can believe that was prolly true before it got boxed & shipped. unfortunately the carelessness of the seller shows in his packing abilities AND his responses back to PM's.the once $200 great deal here is no longer the case.i bought the gear on the premise that is was to be in near minty shape.wrong! ...................all i can say is that no matter HOW GOOD this guy's other classifieds may appear,i'd STAY AWAY and look elsewhere for used gear...btw,i sent ONE pm to the seller about how i received the gear....guess what,NO RESPONSE BACK! wow,what a surprise
here's some pics of what i received:

seeing that this is only the 2nd time i've been burned with "damaged/dishonestly described" gear in over 400 ebay transactions and about 50 purchases here,i guess it's not TOO bad compared to what other horror stories i've read/heard about..........anyways,this is all i will say about this matter.
