Got it: he sold/traded the same thing to two different people. Yeah, bad.

Re: Bad Trader Alert
A Thief showed up today at the Dimarzio forum . He is "HoosierDaddy", and 5 years ago he ripped me off badly here on the Seymour Duncan Trader forum for a hundred dollars or more on a butchered Strat neck he sent me . He agreed to take the neck back, and never sent me a refund and dispaeared off the forum. This was back in the days before Paypal buyer protection. His name is Tim from Indiana, and was "HoosierDaddy" here.
Heads up, and watch out for this no good scoundrel.;

Re: Bad Trader Alert
It was a tongue-in-cheek joke. Went right over your noggin, as it probably it did with a lot of people.
BTW, he never did do what he last said he was going to do... I think send me a new pickup? I'd have to go back and read this thread.

JACKSON72 - Definitely among the worst "traders" to grace these forum pages. We had a deal, I was buying his entire rig as posted here, drove 400 miles and the dude flakes, blocks incoming calls on his phone, stops responding to texts, etc. WATCH OUT!

Ouch, I was wondering if you ever got ahold of him that day. Guess he sold it off before you got there? Or at least a few pieces maybe.

Re: Bad Trader Alert
I did that once. 300 miles round trip , but far enuf. All part of the learning process. In my case, greed was the motivating factor. Never rush a deal is the first rule..not that you can let a good deal languish, but haste always makes waste.Never meet anyone on theor terms, always meet in a equadistant place..that said, there are those times everyone gets burned, I don't care who you are.
The old sayiong is if it looks to good to be true it usually is is for certain true.

Re: Bad Trader Alert
Typical...never understood the logic. Why bother make promises if theyll disappear anyway? Or is it procrastination plus temptation? Freakin junkies thinking theyll recover the money they already blew on drugs/booze/whatever, then realizing not gonna happen and laying low? Or what?
Happened once to me, locally though...Some a$shole sold me a clearly BS "squier neck on real Fender body" (yeah right) for $75 a few weeks back, I was only in it for the pickups told him the body was bull and he was like "yeah i prolly got ripped off on that, but hey, whichever way the pups are easily worth the $75"...NOT. Fakes too. Masked by loose jack busted switch and murdered pots + 5w SS crap testing amp + "duuuude, dont turn up, my landlords gonna kill me" + bad lighting you cant see anything in
Get back home, open her up - FAKE SEYMOUR LIDS ON THE WORST CHEAPO CERAMICS & 1 chinese fakeo hotrail measuring a staggering 4kOhm. Call him out on it, but of course he "doesnt know" and will make it right, and hes got work in the morning so he cant do it right now, tradebacks after his shift- yeah RIGHT.
Plays cat and mouse and gonna get money tomorrow for a week, then blocks number or shuts off phone & disappears.
@75 bucks, not much of a master criminal that one, just amoral victim passing on the ripoff down the line...probably could have parted out his crap squier for more, too, but NOOO, hes gotta rip off a pickup buyer with those stupid fake lids. Ugh.

Yes this is true.
I've never known Dan to be forthright or honest. He was all the negative things everyone described when he serviced my Marshall nearly 20 years years ago.

Re: torres pickups
Is this appropriate to post this here? Playing devil's advocate it doesn't seem fair to post something that didn't happen here. Mostly because we don't have the opportunity to hear from the other party involve. Plus why join to specifically post this? Are you posting this on every gear forum you can find?

Re: torres pickups
I think everybody here is able to read it as it is. The claims made are clear and everybody can draw their own conclusions, there isn't deception.
If the business wanted to defend themselves they would instantly be able to find these crossposts in Google and post their reply here the same way. From my experience, when those confusion things cause bad deals there is usually an inability to coordinate that, but the possibility is there.
I sure want to err on the side of caution, especially with businesses that don't only take money but where you might send a piece of equipment for modification.

Understandable and I agree. However, I just would be cautious about this thread turning into a mechanism to air one's grievances on interactions that did not take place between members.

Re: Bad Trader Alert
Wow... I just recently joined. I can safely say I'm tapping out.
Regarding posts I just read in this thread tonight from 2009 to 2012... I wouldn't normally make an issue out of something that I wasn't involved in - and that long ago, but SD moderators - this warrants comment.
I'm outraged that Ed Hunter is not banned after wishing someone was shot - when HE is obviously in the wrong/horrid/unacceptable regarding his comments towards other members and needs some serious therapy... or smoke or something!
I'm willing to read a lot of 7th grade drama here in the name of learning.... but I'm not going to sit here and waste my time reading death wishes by some hot-headed dude with possibly questionable transactions and absolutely quantifiable anger issues and only a psychologist knows what else...
Ed - if you still read this... I actually thought in some of this history/drama you were most likely not to blame... but after repeatedly reading your distasteful comments and outbursts of anger to everyone - and especially the wish for someone to be shot. Dude, time to go away and get help.
Administrators - shame on you for leaving this guy on here. Is there some political hierarchy here that Ed is a part of???
I think after reading all of that hostility and vile, and seeing that this guy isn't banned... I think I won't be back. I've dealt with a LOT of death in my life - you just don't say those things. And as a global top manufacturer (and I've been with a global top 3 manufacturer) you don't allow that to continue... Leaving him as a standing member puts a really bad taste about SD in one's mouth. I don't want that - SD doesn't deserve to 'taste' like that.
