I saw for sale a Laney LH50MkII head on UG, at a very reasonable price. I'd wanted one of these for a while so I went for it. The guy actually had feedback and good trades history it seemed, so do I, so all good. I paid for it the 4th of March. We kept KINDA in touch until mid March, when he told me he had the flu and was out off work for a while (the courier he wanted to use was his work's) but that he'd get on it.
Then for about two weeks, nothing. Doesn't reply to my calls (DEFINITELY the right number, I talked to him the day of the transaction), replies to emails only under threat and of course, still nothing. About two weeks ago I email him giving him an ultimatum, once again, got a reply saying he's already shipped the head but it came back, could I have your address again, blablabla ok whatever. After that, nothing for a week. I tell him that if I have no parcel/tracking number by Monday (that was this Monday, as in the 20th of April, a month and a half after the transaction) I'd escalate the paypal claim. He sends me an email saying the head shipped the Monday before and that he'd forward me the tracking number. He didn't. So I escalated the dispute to a full claim and waiting for the results. I of course emailed him but still nothing.
I'm a student, I got virtually no disposable income, I sold pretty much everything I could to afford this head and hell it was only £150. I'd been wanting this model for ages too. And to top it all up now is the last revision week of my last EVER exams of my Honors year. I don't need this.
I have his name, phone number and possible address. He's in a band in the Brighton/Bexhill/Hastings area, I have his myspace and even their touring details possibly if y'all can hassle him :lol: I'm too far up north in Edinburgh :(
Anybody got experience with this stuff, and what I should do..?
Thanks for reading y'all...
