Has anyone come across this seller before. The ad layout and wording is identical to pOOder and LeeCountryMusic. I would jump at this kit if I knew it had no links to the other user names. But I'm getter eau de ratta up my nose. Any clues??

Nick, ask the guys on Drumforum.org, they know pOOder and that ilk, by heart. I gave up on most of the US seller, they all seem to have a scam going in one form or another, except Currato

No probs, I just bought a kit from someone well all know in the uk. I'm as pleased as punch and as poor as a church mouse, it's a drummer thing!

I got ********-ed by pOOder, after a couple of no problem transactions...raises my blood pressure just thinking about it.

EDIT : Hmmm...I thought I would get away with that word :) Substitute your own favorite...

I had the buy it now button semi depressed when an email came though from a contact on a US vintage forum who said much the same, I think, when it comes to big ticket purchases (for me anyway on my now egg and chips diet) it is worth sticking to people with a good reputation. I would rather pay a little more for the peace of mind.

Hell, Nick, nobody likes getting screwed on any diet, I've been lucky in the UK, only 2 fekkers for small amounts but it still pi$$es ya off. I bought a number 2 Premier snare off a west coast seller, he never mentioned or was there a pic of the lever broken off, at least he took money off the final price, still sucked
