Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

[stratomaster]

If any of you remember the Long thread about the Tom Delonge I bought on here and it was crap. I contacted Dustins parents. His mom. She ended up refunding all my money plus return shipping,.

She was a very nice person and a class act all the way.

Just wanted to pass this on to all who helped me out. Thanks guys!

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

what happened to that poor guitar?

did you send it back and recommend it be given a proper burial?

Good to hear man. I guess a real adult had to get involved to stop the stories and excuses, huh.

I have a feeling it will be rearing its ugly head on ebay or craigslist. I hope his mom makes him advertize it properly though this time. She was cool though and I think she'll watch how he sells it this time. She sounded just like the female cop in the movie Fargo. It was kind of funny, that Minnesoooota accent. I wish she had some guitars to sell, her I trust.

Yeah he definately was the kid with a 1000 excuses. I think he probably learned a good lesson though. Maybe something was nipped in the bud. Glad its over with and Robert S told me I could post the final outcome so I just wanted all you guys to know it worked out.

For those of us that don't remember, is the old thread still available?

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Good to hear that got sorted out. I was following that the whole time, that was a pretty bad deal..

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Who is Dustin? This remids me of the time a guy sold someone here a bass guitar that was literally burned up. Some big ordeal and a lot of excuses. I thought that guy's name was also Dustin but I could be wrong. I do know he was rather young and the similarities are uncanny. IIRC his ID was beandip with an avatar of willie nelson flipping the bird. I won't buy anything from someone with that track record.

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Here is an excerpt and I think I contacted Mclaughyssn a year ago and asked if the guy ever paid up the $300 bucks and he said no, and he moved on and didn't hold any grudges. He is a better man than me I can say.

Oh and the excerpt is almost exactly 3 years ago today, so I would think to save $300 over the course of three years is do-able, if he ever was serious on refunding his money. That is all.

Hey, Mclaughly. I know that you think I scammed you, and I'm sorry about it man. As soon as I come into some cash (which should be soon, I dont have anymore bills to pay) I'll send you $300. You can keep the bass. Just to try and clear everything up between us man. You accept my offer?

Stratomaster...Glad that it all ended so well.

I followed the thread almost post-by-post and contributed.
Hard to forget that thread. I was just wondering the other day as to what happened. Thanks for posting this.

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

God I went through 12 pages of bs. I want that hour of my life back. I should PM Dusklose for compensation, haha. One strange thing is he only has a post count of 4. I read quite a few more than 4 responses of his. There was someone with a post count of one trying to sell stuff and I noticed they posted a few ads while their post count was still at 1. Glitch in the system?

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

no glitch, your post count doesnt go up when you post in the trading forum. oh and we dont have and accent....but you do

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Wasn't Beandip's real name Dustin also? Coincidence???

 

[Almost Never]

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Dustin?

That jackass from Texas? He's had a few names here, he ripped a friend and I off real good once, sold another guy here a bass that had been through a freaking HOUSE FIRE as "mint..." Every time I tried to resolve my problems with him, he was always just a flat-out jerk.

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

Beandip also ripped me off, took my money for a keyboard he never shipped, told me he mailed it and that it came back to him as undeliverable, so he would ship it again, the keyboard never showed up. Whenever I messaged him he would always have more excuses. When I told him I wanted my money back he apologized and told me he would send a money order...guess what, never happened.
I posted in the bad trader forum and told him to man up and respond, he never did. That weasel still lurks around too, I don't think he'll be doing any sales here though. If he posted anything I'd be all over his thread, and I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one. He's what you call a grade A douchebag.

Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

I could have sworn his name was Dustin when someone tried to track him down. I just thought maybe Dusklose=Beandip. Maybe he moved to ND to clear his name, as big as Texas is, his reputation would catch up to him eventually.
