I got totally dry cracked! no lube, no nothing! beware of these people!he wire transferred the money into a seperate account an my attorney says without a written,singed bill of sale or contract I am screwed! maybe by me telling you all,this wont happen to anyone here.I'll get over it,fuck it I'll be in cabo very soon-peace

Did you sell it on EBay? This is my understanding, and I am not a lawyer. As far as you are concerned, the deal should be finished. He made an offer, and you accepted by sending the guitar. Did have insurance? If so, you might be able to use that to get your guitar back and just buy the guitar back from the doofus, minus shipping and handling since insurance usually won't cover that. But DON'T do anything until you get the insurance or you really will be screwed!
First off, shipping should be around $30. Even when I ship guitars overseas they aren't anywhere near $100.

If you agreed to sell it for $700, then you honor it. If you didn't, then you shouldn't have shipped it.

As for a setup, if it wasn't negotiated before hand, move on and don;t worry about it. Point him to my article about set ups [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

Yeah...kickass! Did you do the drums? Cos they are kicking and I love the reverb on them fuckers. Nice playing mate! Apologies again cos I never noticed that this was in the mp3 competition! Thought it was in 'Watch out for people who would steal your Grandmother'! Has a bit of a Pantera theme to it Jethro...nice work! [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]
