from another member who has dealt with you;[COLOR="Red"]a little wood putty will take care of the edges. [/COLOR]i'm not defending the guy or belittling your situation. he should of been up front about everything. he's on facebook ALL the time selling vintage drums and his "custom" drums. its quite annoying and he flaked on some sales with me so he's not someone i will deal with for that reason.__________________
1. Don't use wood putty on bearing edges, unless you are into re-repairing your repairs on a regular basis.
2. NEVER, NEVER EVER pay by paypal gift. This is a huge red flag from any seller. Paypal gift is for sending gifts. YOU were making a purchase. There is a reason people ask to be paid that way, because it removes any and all protection you have. Was saving the $6.00 worth what you are going through now?
Sorry about your deal that went to sh!t. Spread his name far and wide on all the forums you frequent. Better luck next time.
