Bad Trader Alert

Re: Bad Trader Alert

Everybody is responsible in maintaining the standards set in this forum.

No problem steve i am through with these childish games he is playing anyway and this guy really ought to abide by his own words

Hey Ed, the truth is the truth. You are a scammer and or an idiot.

Here's the deal. You need to control what you post... calling me names is childish and immature.

Nice post from a guy that has done this very thing here!

Re: Bad Trader Alert

Childish games? if you call letting others know about how poor a seller you are (while you freak out and go mental childish), then whatever Ed.

I used the term "idiot" in it's truest sense because Ed claims that he is some kind of Eddie Van Halen expert and professes to be a EVH pickup guru.

A self expressed EVH tone hunter that can't tell between an Axis bridge pup and a bulk generic DiMarzio humbucker simply lacks cognition.

Or was he aware the entire time and was just hoping that I didn't know what an Axis pickup looks like and could be easily fooled?

One or the other and he is also a thief who owes me $10. if you reached into my pocket and tried to take $10 out of my wallet... I would be in my right to call the police and have you arrested for theft.

Ed tried to pass off an inexpensive pickup as an expensive one and then didn't refund all of my money (that took a couple of weeks and several emails). The case is as simple as that.

He might not be an idiot, but I have no evidence of that.

I'm just trying to warn others before they tangle with Ed, that's all. He's really a rather nice bloke I suppose... I don't have anything personal against him. This is just business.

Re: Bad Trader Alert

Simply put and this is my LAST reply about this, YOU are the ONLY ONE that has said it was not a axis pickup?
dimarzio said otherwise,i say otherwise and anyone else thats seen it says other wise. it is in my guitar right now so i guess i like JUNK as you call it. IF you think i am going to believe your word and so called expertise over a tech at dimarzio then you are the so called idiot...

Re: Bad Trader Alert

Wait just a minute herer. Ive done business several times with ED, and he has been forthright each occasion.

You bought a pickup sight unseen obviously , and you didnt know what it was. You didnt use Paypla buyer protection obviously, but Paypl would require you to send the pickup back on you own money.
So Ed gives you back 90% of your purchase price under the circumsatnces, but thats not enoguh for you is it?
I recnetly bought a neck here, and willingly gave the guy a 20 dollar restocking fee when he refunded me, casue I didnt do enough research/ask enough questions.
You need to accept some culpability here.
Going to the point of accusing someone to be a liar and a thief here is beyong the bounds of good discretion.
Take a step back and look at yourself..ED's right; Childish!

Ed, I'm a little confused though now. I presume you sold the pickup with every good intention that it was a genuine pickup.
What about what the guy says about you trying to sell it on Dimarzio forum as a copy? Now you are saying it's the real thing again?
Please explain.

First thank you for your post here and to the question yes i have a Dimarzio B2 i posted on the forums for $30 but it is not the same pup that he bought, it was purchased online for $50 plus shipping. I was told by dimarzio that it is a OEM model that dimarzio makes for dean and a few other companies.
The pup that was shipped to him was taken out of a EBMM axis SS my bud bought, I did not have the funds at the time to buy it myself so i posted a forsale here. He was not happy with it and i refunded him $90 which at the time was all that was in my paypal account. I explained this to him and told him i would send the balance of $10 ASAP. It had slipped my mind and i get a email from him worded in a way that was totally uncalled for and definitely less than friendly and i will leave it at that...
That axis pu is now paid for and in my one guitar and i love it! glad he sent it back he did me a favor believe it or not.

I recently bought a neck here, and willingly gave the guy a 20 dollar restocking fee when he refunded me, cause I didn't do enough research/ask enough questions, and I had a degree of blame in the whole matter.

You are wading into something that you really don't know about, I would urge you to exercise caution in de facto coming to Ed's aid on this one.

1). I always never had a problem with shipping it back on my dime. I did so via USPS priority mail and it was never a problem.

2). I have owned DiMarzio Axis pickups before and am fully aware of what is a bulk order generic humbucker and what is a genuine EBMM Axis pickup.

3). 90% is bull. What does Ed Hunter have... a 10% restocking fee? Shouldn't he represent that to me somehow in the sale before I agree to buy it?

Calm down a bit and re read my initial post.

Thanx.

Thanx.

Thank you so much for posting this,you just wrote out PROOF you KNOW NOTHING about dimarzio pickups!
Dimarzio does NOT make a generic pickup,go back to school or better yet try talking to steve blucher like i do,maybe you will finally learn something :14: Oh thats right you already know more about dimarzio's than even he does my bad!

Re: Bad Trader Alert

T!
Dimarzio does NOT make a generic pickup,g:

I think he means 'OEM'. Like on some undifferentiated Dimarzio models on Ibanez guitars for example.

Re: Bad Trader Alert

Absolutely... the "generic" term was just slang.

8th Street Music has bulk zebra 16K F spaced humbuckers that they purchased from DiMarzio with regular brass baseplates with an engraved "B2" on the underside of the baseplate. The engraved "B2" is the "generic" term for a non specific bulk purchased humbucker or for an OEM model as has been suggested here in this thread.

I did not want to bring it here publicly and resisted so for weeks. But Ed was taking me for a fool and I was tired of his run arounds.

It's all good. Ed was just trying to play me and then forced me to call him out on it, I don't wish him any ill will. I'm sure he'll never pull this again and will promptly issue a full refund to dissatisfied customers in the future.

This is my sincere hope for a resolution to this relatively minor matter.

Have you looked in the GOOD TRADER section???? Guess not or you would not have posted this but Since you had to get involved then just dont deal with me! it is simple as that! BUT you did not seem to mind when i was buying stuff from you did you andy boy? Never again!:14:

So what you're implying is that, just because you have done some good deals in the past, those deals counterbalance anything that comes up in the bad trader?

I'll be honest. I won't deal with you not because you've been in the last 4 and a half pages consistently in the bad trader thread. I won't deal with you simply because of the way you freak out when something is brought up in here. That tells me that if everything doesn't go smoothly in a deal with you, then there's going to be a whole lotta drama over something stupid like a pickup. It's nothing personal, and it is what it is.

I'm sorry to have to say this but I think it's bad form for you to come to Ed's defense on this. First of all, Ed didn't send what he said he would send. A full refund is appropriate. To refund only part of the price is a real bad way to do business, especially considering that Ed should have paid the shipping charges since he sent the guy the wrong item. No one should have to pay shipping for something they didn't want to begin with. Ed admitted to this error yet still decided of his own accord to keep part of the money.

You fail to realize that this is a forum where trust is something we strive very hard to maintain. If we wanted to pay Paypal and Ebay fees and make those fat cats richer, we would. Therefore, your argument that he should have relied on Paypal Buyer Protection defeats the purpose of trading on forums. If something doesn't work out then the buyer/seller must try to make it right - especially whoever is at fault.

I've been duped by Ed before and all I have to say to Zenmindbeginner is "hey, at least you got a partial refund." Ed wouldn't refund me at all. Face it, Ed has been doing some shady business around here and for you to come to his aid in a deal like this is like a slap in the face to many forum members. Different people wouldn't come forward if Ed did straight business.

It's hard to keep a 100% positive reputation, but if you strive at it, you will most likely never have problems like Ed does. You have to be honest and consider how you communicate to people. You definitely can't erase your tracks like Ed does, deleting posts so no one can argue against his descriptions.

It's time for Ed to actually learn his lesson this time. He thought it was ok to continue operating as he does just because some people still trusted him and were willing to trade with him. That makes it worse because he takes trust for granted. I'm sorry MetalManiac, but there's a problem and you need to let Ed exercise his own demons.

Both of you took the words right out of my mouth. My sentiments exactly. The only reason I'm getting involved is because I have an interest in keeping this trade forum clean and trustworthy. We must maintain the highest integrity. Nothing personal Ed because I let go of our issues a long time ago. This is something that needs to be done for the greater good.

Yeah, he's got some kind of mental problems and refuses to accept any blame. He reminds me of a bipolar chick I know who is always having problems that are "never her fault".

Re: Bad Trader Alert

WTF is the matter with you?

Seriously, why anyone would even consider trading with you is beyond me, but maybe you make posts like this one here because you expect the mods to delete them, and everything that goes along with it, and no one will ever know what went down?

Re: BPSUL

BrianStraub;

I just sent him this email;

Actually, I have decided your speaker is probably got a problem with it, so you are trying to dump it to some unsuspecting person on the sly.
That Peavey Predator neck you sold me on the Predator guitar deal had a BAD dead fret on it, which I'm sure you knew about, and so tried to ship it in parts to disguise it.
Lucky for me I was able to plane it with the almost worn out non existent frets that you said had been "levelled".
Then i send you all the pics of the neck I was trying to trade you that you had requested to trade to you ( bad idea) and you disregard it for all eternity, even to say as much ass eff off I'm not interested.
But you bit on the last email ofering some cheap stuff you wanted.
You are a prank, and a D-Nozzle, and you actually porked me around on that Predator, but being the good natured fair dealing guy that I am, I got suckered in by your slimeball tactics.
Score one for you.
Im a quick learner though, and always appreciative of Fracks like you who help me to sharpen my 'ripoff radar'.
have a nice one schlomozzle.
Hey..lucky for you I'll be posting this on the Peavey Forum too!

You are nuts.

When I actually have some time (which may be a while) I will give a proper response to your post. But for now I'll just say that you are way out of line. Your accusations are false. Not only that, not once NOT ONCE did you ever bring any of this up to me before. Im not a mind reader - if you are unhappy then you need to communicate that properly - not blow up like a pre teen valley girl and make an ass of yourself on a public forum.



Now maybe you are off your meds and you don't realize what an ass you are being - so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But if you don't take your post down I will respond properly - and the result will be more damaging to your reputation on these forums than to mine.

Have a nice day.
