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?
 
Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

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.
 
Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

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?
 
Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

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 ;)

Glad you finally got that all sorted out!

stratomaster,
Glad to hear you got your money back. Thanks goodness for the responsible parents out there.
 
Re: Remember the Tom Delonge strat thread?

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