On 10/25/18, I asked if the seller would accept a down payment until I could get the cash to pay for the remainder of the bass. We agreed to 10% down, and I him PayPal'd the money ($190) on that same day, 10/25.
On 11/1/18, I PayPal'd the remainder of what I owed, $1,710.
On Saturday, 11/3/18, seller advised me that the bass had shipped and gave me a UPS tracking number.
On Tuesday, 11/6, I checked the tracking number and the bass did NOT show in the UPS system, only that a label had been created for it. I wrote the seller that same day, expressing my concern and asking him to check on the bass on his end. He called the UPS store that day, and reported back to me that the bass was still sitting at the store because there was a problem with the address and the clerk had written down his cell number wrong so they couldn't get ahold of him. I verified the address, and it was correct. Seller advised he would go to the UPS store on 11/7 and get everything taken care of.
On 11/8, seller contacted me to advise the bass had shipped but he had inadvertently left the new tracking number in his office and would send it to me the next day.
This began a seemingly endless series of me asking him for the tracking information, him promising to get it to me but it never showing up. Disclosure - He advised he was ill during this time.
Finally on 11/19, after no bass and no tracking number for 19 days, I complained and he agreed to refund my money. I got an email from Payal on 11/20 saying the refund was in process.
On 11/26, I received notice from Paypal that the refund had failed. I contacted the seller again and was told his credit card had been compromised and the funds would be back on 11/29 and he would reissue the refund. At that time, I filed a claim with Paypal.
After another communication or two from the seller, he simply quit responding.
On 12/6, I finally got my refund from Paypal.
I would not recommend conducting business with this TB'er based on my experience.
Also, there's a Neutral feedback rating in his profile - i tried to check it and got a 404 page. Someone else has checked since, and it is a situation from April 2015 where he tried to do the same thing to somebody else but did refund their money.

Grady is great to do business with; he's honest, stays in touch with you and was patient with me when I hit an unanticipated snag in my purchasing timeline. DO Not hesitate to deal with him. 
When I ran into a snag with the funds I was using to finance this purchase, the Seller was awesome. He was patient and offered his assistance more than once. He did a great job of making this a smoooooth transaction.
I not only recommend doing business with Jeff, I sincerely hope that I have another opportunity to do business with him in the future.
