I'm beyond concerned........ |

| Thanks for your help with this. I also sent an e-mail to the seller after I saw the postings here and the BIN. Still have heard nothing - wondering if I should alert the "new" buyer? To now I've had nothing but great experiences buying from the OFC and will continue to do so (and will plead guilty to grabbing the 1537 and 9 string this week off the Bay...) No greater gift than an Ovation. Thanks again. |

Location: big island | if it was me, i'd email the buyer and see if there is anything to be done about it. not sure if eBay will allow you to contact the buyer or not but it's worth a try.
and you scored on the other two this week! |

bottom line is you should not put your nose where it does not belong.
time and time again I see the same sceanario..... |

| Same here. I originally called Jason about the amp for my nephew. After speaking for a while, I decided to buy his adamas for my brother for slightly more than he was looking for. He did contact me to let me know he received the check, then again to let me know it cleared and that he would be shipping shortly. His wife called proactively as well after that. We spoke intermittently; hence the lack of concern; besides, I've been know to be (way too) patient... Figuring they were still down on their luck, I even sent prepaid shipping labels...
I did contact the seller again as well as the buyer. I filed a report to ebay. No response from either the buyer or seller; ebay did respond and that is progressing. I was advised this evening that there are no pawn shops in the area.
Life's more about relationships than material objects (ok, one might argue that owning an ovation IS a relationship - or at least can impact a relationship with the bride...). As I look at the cancelled check, mail and listen to the messages left on my voicemail, one has to ponder the balance between compasion, understanding, truth and honesty...
I still feel there's light at the end of the tunnel (OK, so there's a little wind trying to blow it out).
Here's to a future post with a happy ending for all... |

Location: NJ | ok you contacted the seller.
did they confirm where the guitar came from?
no pawn shops in the area? maybe an illegal type operation?
why is this whole thread bothering me more and more every day. |

I only had one cell phone number to reach Jason. I call, leave messages, no one calls back. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | I'm concerned about Jason as well. BUT, he has at least a dozen ways to contact many members here. He's got my home phone number, email, he could post here, etc. If he wanted to make contact he would. Sorry to sound cold but sometimes it takes digging yourself out of your own hole to build strength and muscle from the effort. CLICK. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | This is a good recourse for situations like this: Not Penal, but effective. I have tried all of the numbers folks have sent to me...the parties damaged need to direct their inquiries here: Every State has an office like this and they can be a great help when it seems you have no where else to turn...It will let Jason know this is serious without legal recourse at the present.
