I've dealt with StatusCymbal (Allen)..

I met him on DFO..

I didn't have a problem paying with a money order at all. With the paypal fees and the fact that the margin of making money off of a deal can be very narrow I can understand it.

I know of a lot of people that do business this way

The deal was smooth as glass, great product couldn't be happier..

I can only imagine trying to juggle work, play, personal life and a hobby like collecting and selling vintage gear it may be hard to keep up with every e-mail and discussion.

I would do business with him again in a heart beat

First post........interesting

Verrrry interesting Hogan....

Yep, I joined on 9-26- 2010 waiting for someone to ask about StatusCymbal so I could post in the thread..

I guess you have to have a first post somewhere??

Question Why does he not post ??????Verrrry interesting.....Mikey

Honestly, I have no dealings or an opinion of Statuscymbal. No clues about the man at all.

But, this absolutely cracked me up. You honestly joined the forum and sat around biding your time ... Waiting ... Waiting ... Waiting ... waiting for someone to post about Statuscymbal?

Un-freekin-real.

You, my little muffin of patience, have won the Crown of Absurdity.

Congratulations.

Mortar,

what is your S/N on DFO?

I'm K.Zildjian on there.

Mortar must be psychic.......

He signed on just to post about StatusCymbal, and only 4 days later,there was his big chance!

Goooooooooooolllllllllyyyyyyyyy! As Gomer used to say...........

I believe his handle on DFO is vintage_collector

Same e-mail.

I recently purchased a pair of Ludwig bass drum spurs and mounts from statuscymbal. I got them at good price and they arrived within 10 days.

Though I prefer to use PayPal there was nothing about this transaction that would prevent me from recommending him to friends.

I found it best to contact him through [email]drums@bellsouth.net[/email].
