I'm sort of at a loss as to how they can change their name and still retain all their + ebay credentials. I did purchase a Gretsch drum key from them, for a decent price, and had no qualms about the transaction. That said, I abhor any hoar (had to spell it that way) who pillages a vintage drum for the sake of the $$. I just can't like this practice and never will; no matter who the perpetrator is. It actually disgusts me and I would never buy pilfered pieces from anyone. I do miss the pics of the hotty in their listings, though (JK).

This ebayer bid on and bought from me a Round Badge snare that I clearly identified as having a repaired wrap. I owned the drum for about a month and made a tidy profit. Within days, they offered it up for sale at nearly double the price, with no mention of the repairs.

Amazingly, they got their buy-it-now asking price after listing it twice.

Their buyer must be a moron, because although the repairs were well done, they were clearly visible upon inspection, but not visible in the pictures.

Where was that buyer when I was selling it, just a couple weeks prior???? Overseas????

Lawsuits will do that to a company !! (changed names)

Honestly, I think she is selling, and this is not for the faint of heart, so if PG is your maximum rating, DO NOT read from here out.

My true intuition is this is an online brothel, or "escort service" or some other means of selling "the intimate company ladies"...why else would they be so productive and so "well thought of" by the online ebay community when we, the real vintage people, know there is a scam going on? We do complain to ebay about this seller, so it's not like they don't know...

As far as ebay or paypal, as long as they get their fees, they could care less, as long as it's not blatant...oh, wait a minute it IS blatant on her site...And as long as the IRS is getting all they want, who cares? Certainly not the Government, because they are getting paid and could care less! As far as a "cocaine consortium" you could well have hit the nail square on the head...not like I would know anything about the illegal drug trade, but still, it wreaks of unsavory activity. What with all the pretty girls of in-distinguishable origin...I'd bet a dollar against a dime you could order a drum and get a mail order bride to deliver it...

I'm feeling more guilty by the minute for purchasing the Rogers cymbal Knobby from her! Hind sight really tells me I should have posted a "wanted" for this part on this forum, as I know someone out there would probably have had a nice one. Still, I'm happy with what I got... even though it was too expensive. I ask for forgiveness from the VDF community! DOH

Is this the same Bimbo that lives in Canada, but drives across the border to ship pkgs from the USA?

As far as we know, she is in Florida....

OK, there's another couple that run a similar scheme out of Canada. They use a lot of religious veils to cover their trails..."and may God bless you" & "Jesus loves you" stuff...but it's the same con. I've seen the same crap they sell under 3 or 4 different accounts, bought some rims from them a couple years ago. The rims were great, EXCEPT for the fact that they were steel & not brass. They told me that they weren't drum experts & may God bless me. This stuff makes me sick to my stomach!

Amen. Go in pieces!! I hate that crapola. Just like the "he's a good guy, he's a Christian". They're the first ones to screw ya.
