I have instituted a policy where I will now only buy used stuff face to face. Too many scammers anymore. I had an internet friend buy a Les Paul on Reverb, of course from a stranger. When the box showed up it was a gallon jug of water wrapped in paper with a plastic guitar in it so LEGALLY he shipped a guitar. It was a fake account, and as soon as he got the money, he closed the account. And Reverb, once the account is gone, what can they do? If I set up an account named Totes Magotes with a fake address in Montana and a Text Now phone number, I am untraceable. (Don't ask how I know.) The guy's credit card had protection, but the scammer won. So now, it's face to face only unless it's from a company like Sweetwater, Sam Ash or Guitar Center. And they would rarely have a used RE20. But if one of you guys stumbled upon one in your wandering through pawn shop land, I at least know the person who has it in their hands. Like I said, I an transfer funds instantly and ask you to buy it for me and send it.
