Knucklehead, ay? Eh - I've been called worse. :biggrin-new:
I've used Reverb many times without issue, but then I think most deals can be figured out in short order by communication. Example:
Guy lists a NS S200 on Reverb for $500 with no description other than "Excellent guitar" along with some pics.
I send a message: "Hey there - does the guitar have any imperfections no matter how small? Does it smell? Any issues I should know about?"
He replies (this is a copy and paste): "what do think excellent means . i think i mite jack up the price i'm getting to many of these messages" Which he did - to $650 + shipping. I probably could have scored a good deal if I'd just bought it, but I'm much happier knowing that I didn't deal with that guy. God forbid I'd gotten it and something had gone wrong.
