Don't accept the funds if you do decide to sell. What happens is they will use a stolen credit card to pay for the amp through Pay Pal. When the charge back for the fraudulent use of the card hits Pay Pal they will take the funds back out of your Pay Pal account or make your account negative. You will then start receiving emails from Pay Pal asking for the funds. You will be out of an amp and the cash. The amp will most likely get shipped to someone who they "hired" as an "account manager" via internet job listings. This is called a reshipper scam. The person they hired is basically receiving a floating inventory for the bad guy. While the amp or whatever is in route to the reshipper the bad guy will sell it via Amazon or Ebay etc. By the time it arrives at the reshipper's house the amp has sold and the bad guy sends a prepaid UPS label to the reshipper via email. The reshipper takes the amp to UPS and drops it off. The bad buy then sends the reshipper $20-50 via Western Union for his services. The bad guy never touches the amp and good luck finding him in Nigeria or Eastern Europe. I have worked a bunch of these reshipper scams and have intercepted MacBook Pros, cell phones, DVD players, digital cameras, etc that were still at the reshipper's house waiting to be sent to a buyer. All traced back to either a straight up fraudulent credit card purchase or through Pay Pal fraudulently. Be very cautious fellas. They are all over the internet these days. To much good of info to pass up.....Thanks Snappi ! ! ! ! |

Well, if you can't play guitar worth a sh!t sometimes it's easier just to worry about making better tones. |
