Does this seem right?

Post by delira »

Hi there.
I'm in the process of buying a Dumble Overdrive Special 112 Combo, and since I live in Sweden, and the amp is in the United States I just want to check with you guys if everything seems right.. I'd hate to be fooled on my lives savings...

So, do you think this is a real dumble, and an honest seller?
He has said that he wants the payment to be made through a third party.. Mooneybookers. Is that a trustworthy company?
Should I post our entire dialogue here so you can see if you think he is trustworthy?
Guys i really need your help, because I really could not afford losing as much money as this is..

It's a scam, I tried to buy this from him a month or so ago, he was asking $4,000 at the time. If you really want one perhaps contact David Schaeffer at www.overlandexpress.com

$4k is bit too low isn't it, considering Dumbles are going real high?Sometimes good deals may not be that worth it after all?

Do not send this person any money. PM if you want further details. This amp has been on ebay several times, been advertised at 'music ground' in England and the seller is 'not to be trusted'. If it helps post your dialog with him and I'll share mine.

Thank you!
If it had not been for you I would have made a very, very bad deal, so, I really appriciate your answers as I now am able to back off from this deal. I'm just glad that I decided to contact you before transferring the money.

yet again... thank you!

Just out of curiousity.. Is there any way to see that it isn't a real Dumble..? It looks pretty original, but so do many of the clones of course...

Hi Tommy,

I think what is meant is, that this is a scam, which means that the Ebayer stole the pics of a real Dumble and posted a "fake" Ebay offering.

The amp in these pics probably is original, but the Ebayer does not own it.

Cheers,

Dominik

Ah, I see.

Every time I see a Dumble on eBay, I always think about who would want to send that amount of money, before even seeing the actual amp..

Jeg har hørt at Mats Persson fra Gyllene Tider har en Dumble, som egentlig ble kjøpt av en nordmann på begynnelsen av 90-tallet.

Har du hørt noe om det?

Vad jag vet finns det bara en dumble i norden, och den ägs utav en Svensk gitarrist, vars namn jag ej vill utlämna.
Det är en Overdrive Special som tillverkades exakt likadant som den Robben Ford använde på Talk to your daughter det var även den första mr. Dumble tillverkade efter att ha tillverkat Robbens.
Jag har inte hört något alls om någon annan i norden överhuvudtaget, men det skulle vara bra om det fanns fler!

Betyr det at navnet jeg skrev ikke stemmer? Såvidt jeg og vet, fins det kun en Dumble i Norden...

Jeg kjenner som sagt han som kjøpte den ny, og solgte den videre til sverige.
