Noooo... Not happy

Posts: 92 Threads: 14

So I guess it's not a big deal, but I got to tell somewhere...

A few weeks ago, I found this ad for a white Phonic Plus, in really good condition. I love that set. The guy selling it was ok with my bid of 550, because it was the minimum for which he'd sell it, but he said another guy was coming over to pick up some hardware, and he might also take the shells along because it'd mean a lower price overall.

So I waited for a week to hear what happened, even told him I'd be willing to pay more if it made a difference, and I was bummed to hear the guy bought the lot.

In the meantime I got my Premier Elite, which I love, even though it's very different of course.

Thing is, I just looked on ebay, and "someone" is selling exactly the stuff I wanted to buy... Trying to sell it for over twice the price (1250) he bought it for! :mad:

I know 2000% sure this is the very set, because he is also selling the exact same hardware he bought.

Even IF it's worth it (I think it could be), it's just freaking frustrating. He just bought it to make profit from it. I wanted this set, really much. To play it, to use it and enjoy it.

I can't afford what he's asking for it, especially since I already spent my drumset money a week ago. And even if I could, I'm not sure I'd even want to. Even though this is pretty much (one of :P) the kit(s) I really want over many other kits.

Damn

I think he's talking about a Sonor kit. The Phonic Plus line was a mid Sonor run. I realize you already know this. Just peeing in the water to push the mud aside.

Unfortunately sites like this have an unintended consequence along with shows like Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Auction Hunters...... There's gold in them thar there hills, and folks are just inclined to take advantage of it. It is just the way of the world. :mad: ... :2Cents: ... :mad:

I know the world is just the way it is.

I know it's perfectly legal and no one cares much probably; I am not trying to fight it or whatever. Nothing of it all. It just sucked big time for me when I found it back at ebay.

I'm not expecting anyone to have a big deal with it, because it isn't really, but to me it's damn frustrating. Just to me. I just needed to tell somewhere, and most people I know don't even see the point of buying a new drumset when you already have one (they are not drummers).

BTW, I just realized, he isn't selling the matching snare that came with it :P. Such a shame :/

Sorry to hear, but as my pre-writers stated: that's the way it goes today.

You still have the option to ask the new seller, that you are willing to give a bid for xxx (= insert here the maximum you are willing to pay). That's one last chance in this matter, if he doesn't get the amount he's looking for.

Best of luck!
