FS VHS Michael Romeo - The Guitar Chapter

[MidKnight]

Awesome video presentation from Symphony X's own Michael Romeo!

Japanese Import produced in 2000!

Comes with instructional booklet to accompany examples presented in the video.

As far as I know, this was never produced onto dvd and is pretty limited.

Asking $30.00 obo

I will ship anywhere, but will have to have zipcode to give a price quote. Slowly but surely I am building up references on this site, so please check some of my other threads for the reviews.

Thank You for your time, and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send me a PM.

[MidKnight]

I see some people were looking but no offers so I will reduce the asking price to $20.00 obo....if you are interested, let me know and I am sure we can work something out for sure.

I will need to know your zipcode to get you an accurate shipping cost, but if its in the U.S. I cannot imagine it to be very much at all.

Yes, this was paid for on 10/21 and I sent you the delivery confirmation number today.

I then come and see that there is hold on the Pay Pal payment? Why is this?

I remember when you ordered the Fates Warning tab book in early September, once you got it, you were going to send payment for the Michael Romeo video. I hadnt heard back from you for a few weeks, thinking perhaps you changed your mind, so I followed up and you said that you had been busy and you were still interested...

Then you made payment, and the VHS has been sent out. I have no idea why there is a hold on the Pay Pal account.....

I do not think 4 days ( one of them being Sunday when mail does not even move ) is too long to wait, I can see if 1 week went by, and you had not heard from me, PERHAPS there MAY be room for some concern, but seeing that we had done business before, I really feel this is unfair.

I would have liked a PM telling me some concerns first, before even going and putting a HOLD/DISPUTE even on the Pay Pal payment, just 4 days after it being sent, when again, I waited weeks for you to see if you even wanted it.

I am just trying to do things the right way for people on this board, making SOME money on the deals, and giving people something that they want in return where it is WIN WIN for us both.

These kind of actions, just turn me off to the whole process, and I really do not even feel like doing any more business if this is how things can go. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I guess I need some time to cool down, and I am more emotional about it now...but I was happy getting all 15 of my orders out to people, and then I come home from the weekend and see this!

I think it sucks honestly! It would have been nice to have been given a heads up and at least a few more days for the BENEFIT of a doubt. I have NEVER screwed ANYONE on THIS site, the 2+2 website where I sell things, My Perpetual Motion music board, the Ultimate Metal board, or any of the others, and I have done over 100 deals....

Man, what a pisser!

[MidKnight]

Also a few years back, I sold Ryan a JPM-1 Guitar on here for a price which was way below of what I could have gotten from him, but he seemed like an honest kid, who really wanted the guitar and he made me the BEST offer HE could...

I could have simply held out and gotten easily another 400-500 for it, but I sold it to him!

I am not going to screw someone on here, a PREVIOUS CUSTOMER at that, over $26.00....

Alright, I am logging off now...I am upset and bothered by this turn of events to no end.

[OLIE_ROCKS_THE_80'S]

Well I am sorry but I do not think is a very good way to do business to just take people's money and basically disappear!!! I did not get any kind of acknowledgement from you saying things like "hey I got the money thanks" "it will ship in 5 days" anything dude!!! why am I all of a sudden the bad guy here??? If you sell stuff on here or anywhere else, you have to have good communication with your buyers period! To me it is never about the money is about the principle of the thing and I hate being screwed be it 20 bucks or $2000!!! You try to put the burden of communication on me but I ask you the same thing
Why couldn't you just contact me to let me know you'd send it in a few days...???
whenever I sell something, first of all I ship "IMMEDIATELY" people pay fast they deserve to get their goods just as fast (I had to put up with huge wait for the book!) second I communicate with people right away and make sure they have my all contact info even my phone number but I do not have anything like that from you! so if anything I am the one who is "pissed" for I knew I'd have issues with our transaction again...but there I am trying to make good on my promise and I bought the video against my better judgement.
Anyway I am not gonna screw you as you put it, if I get the video you get the money and I guess we call it today, for I doubt we'll ever make any kind of business again.

Jason I am sorry to say I do not know that for a fact... I have unfortunately dealt with people who at first make good on their promises/deals and later leave you hanging out to dry. Some of the long standing members of this forum know me and will tell you I'm a skittish buyer and some have gone as far as sending me a copy of their drivers license when making a deal with me, so I do not understand why you are the one who is "upset"
I did not come here and dragged your name or reputation through the mud, if anything I was hoping you'd contact me and we could sort out the misunderstanding between us but I guess you had to be a dramma queen and get the whole community involved...it's fine by me though, since I did not do anything wrong and I am not screwing you in any way as you are trying to protray it!!!

[MidKnight]

If you had any reservations about ordering the Video, than I just wish you would have let someone else buy the darn thing. I did NOTHING in the last transaction with the Fates Warning tab book that would ever lead you to believe I was a suspect seller.

OUTRAGED at this claim.

FW tab, I offered to send Priority.....you wanted Media Mail...it takes Longer...It is not MY Fault that the post office puts all the media mail on a truck and it goes where ever the heck it goes before it makes its way to you.

You had to wait DAYS because of the last order we did??????? Well was that MY Fault???? No sir, it was not. Do not come on here painting some picture about how the last transaction left a bad taste in your mouth because of something I did and you had reservations about doing business with me again.

Your email to me when I have you the tracking number was totally rude. It went something along the lines of: YOU sent it to the wrong place, FIX THIS!

That was it. I called the post office, I followed up as soon as I got your message, and the lady explained to me the procedure when using the slower media mail shipping and I posted in that thread to let EVERYONE KNOW on this forum, 100% what was happening.

Just like I did with this one. You say I am a drama Queen because I want to let everyone know there was a problem with a transaction.

You pay Thursday night for a package, and true I was not available to come and type that I got it. I am sorry, things happen in life, and I cannot always be at home, or on the computer.....I can see if we never did business before how it could be a little "suspect" but the fact that a month ago you paid me for an item, you got the item and everything was good, I do not understand how 3 days goes by and its Stop the Presses.....File a Dispute with Pay Pal, Block his account.....

I am not trying to put the burden of communication on you, but my God.....I would think if you were that worried, you would send a pm.....I didnt send you a pm, but I was the one who followed up for weeks to see if you wanted the Video....so once you paid, I mean I guess I was wrong in assuming you knew I got it...it says on PAY Pal if its received doesnt it.

Whatever....you know, if people do not want to buy from me because they pay me, and in 4 hours or less I do not confirm the payment, and I do not ship out your item THAT day, then you know what, fine I understand.

I just try to look at it from my eyes and how I would react if the shoe was on the other foot...and just for me, it wouldnt have been this way. Of course you can do the same and say " well if someone buys from me, I send it out THAT day, etc etc " well sorry if I didnt get right to the post office....

I just hate that in this last post you bring up that FW book, and ALL THE TIME ( I think it took 7 days to get to you...which to me OMFG, thats insane, really???? Seriously? That was too long? ) and how you "knew" or "felt" you shouldnt do business with me again because of the last time, when I DID NOTHING WRONG...

People will read that message from you and wonder " what the hell happened there..." not even knowing the story, but just seeing it would have to think " well, yeah, screw dealing with Midknight, I mean that one guy had problems with BOTH of his transactions with him "

When in reality yes we did....but the first I explained already and will not get into again, and the second, well you know, I am sorry you feel it wasnt handled professionally by me....I am sorry that a $50.00 video, you got for $20.00 and I am sorry that I didnt pay out of my pocket $65.00 to Over Night Priority Mail it to you so you could have it Friday at 5pm, a day after you paid for it.

I just think its totally unrealistic.....and I am done with this discussion.

100 transactions ( not all on here of course ) but this is my FIRST ever , whatever you want to call this , and I resent it.

I posted all of this for the forums to read so they can hear MY side of this. It IS the principle of the matter of course, and I just feel the way things can be worded can easily not paint the correct picture so I felt compelled to explain it in my words.

Ollie, you are a good guy I am sure. I am sorry things got the way they did. I hope you enjoy the Video anyway, its very cool....and its a shame that it had to go down like this, but I wish you the best.

Just sucks because neither of us felt we did anything wrong or anything that should have allowed this build to this conclusion.
