The picture of the bass (MTD Kingston Z5) he showed me that i was trading (upgraded Lakland 55-01) for had nice black hipshot tuners and black hip shot bridge. He offered a straight trade. No money to change hands. When I received the bass, he had swapped them out for the original silver tuners and bridge. He never said this would be the case, never even mentioned that he even had the originals, nor did he offer for me to pay to keep the upgrade. He then blamed this on me for not asking about them. Was I supposed to ask about the strap buttons, pickups, jack, and truss rod cover plate and neck too? This screams bait and switch to me! He refuses to send the parts to me because that would be "too large of a value difference" in the trade, again, trade value was never discussed. He just offered a straight swap/trade and sent me a picture of what he was offering and that picture included the black tuners and bridge. All and all a terrible transaction. I highly advise against buying or trading with this user as you may or may not get what you pay/trade for.
To add insult to injury:
He didn't ship on the day we agreed upon. Refused to expedite shipping at that point even though I offered to PAY the difference.
