When you find someone flipping pedal you built as their own 🤣

Could be worse, I've had people try to pass off their builds as mine and tell their customers to send it to me for repair when it stops working

That’s a pretty D-head thing to do but you have to admit there is a certain amount of comedy in that for those not involved.

Maybe I’m cynical, but I see this as someone who had someone do something nice for them (i.e., being sold something for a “crazy deal”—which eliminated already tight margins) being slimy while reselling it. Misrepresenting provenance wasn’t an accident. Dude is being manipulative. I get that fees are a bear, but what did he think @swelchy was getting the first time around?

Yeah that’s why I got a bit agitated… I built the guy a paragon mini, an ADHD and the Guvner clone all for $120 shipped… Which was fine… covered my cost fine and I was just being nice and getting my feet wet to keep building… Can’t keep them all..
But then I ran into him claiming he built it.

I’d at least say it’s an Alexander Silver Jubilee clone

Was it really so hard to just type in the description box "hand made pedal"..............instead of "I built this"?

My favorite/least favorite type of person is someone who does something wrong, and then is a total asshole when called out for it.

You got me curious, so I looked up the brand name I use when selling my overflow clones on Reverb.

Someone is reselling a pedal I made a few months ago for a $50 markup, but they credited me and included a comment in the listing to check out my shop. So I guess it's not a requirement to be a complete ass to use the site.

They will probably break even after Reverb robs them with their completely fair and reasonable seller fees.

Oh yeah- I was just tootin' around.
It'll be flattering if somebody buys it for the higher price, but from what I'm reading here, the guy who listed it is being a blockhead to our dear @swelchy.

My offer was countered for a mere $5 off dang…
