I've been trying to sell these Fender 60's custom shop pickups for over 3 months now. Thread 1 Thread 2. I've actually sold them twice. the first person was in argentina, and after two attempts to ship the pickups to him we decided to call it quits. The first time the address was wrong and I printed the label already, so I had to cancel the label, print a new one paying twice to ship the package to him. Come to find out he gave the address wrong and Argentina couldn't deliver it. So 32 days later the pickups show up at my house. it also took 45 days for paypal to issue a refund for the first shipping label because they don't issue refunds like that.. so I waited a long time for the money for these pickups......
The second time I shipped them to him in Argentina, they returned them to me without attempting delivery, and the third time where I decided it was too much he was talking about having me send them to a friends house, but I decided that sounded sketchy.. None of these addresses were confirmed by paypal, and there is no way to verify the addresses in Argentina. Now I have a rule that I will NOT deliver internationally to any address that is not Paypal confirmed. If paypal cannot confirm addresses in your country, then sorry.
So after not feeling good about trying for a third delivery, I decided to refund Argentina and try to sell them again. Well I got another buyer, but this person has not provided their address and has not logged into talkbass since. I have sent multiple emails but nothing is going on. Its frustrating! I am so hoping that this person logs in and tells me where to send HIS pickups to... hoping everything is okay with this person, ect.. hoping that this goes well and ends well.
I beginning to think that these pickups cannot be sold.................. there is some force acting upon every sale to keep them in my possession. 3 months and counting ..
