1954 FAKE Seller On eBay Fender Strat No Line Strat Tuners
Look at last 5 pictures (on white paper) of compare I did in my shop to give you the idea of this Scam... I have many parts, broken, need repair in my shop over the years. I never seen this fraud before, so warning my customers.This is my fact opinion, and you be the judge.. This guy is trying to trick you and commit fraud! Yes it's illegal to mis lead and lie
What I'm getting at, this Mr Rogers is taking backs off no line low end tuners, putting then on single line tuners and selling them for $1,000 to $1400. You got changed parts, repaired, swapped out. YOU SELL As Such!
Hey I got ripped off.. I'm human..
I thought this over, I prayed on it. I am OK with Ratting out thieves on the Internet. I got robbed $2,000 from this guy.( I bought 2 sets)
He sells fake or altered Strat tuners on eBay and Craigslist... He has bought much from me over the years so I came to trust him.
So I bought a set of No Lines Fender Strat Kluson Tuners from him. Price $1,000. Only took a business check. At 1st glance and no cheater glasses on I get them, I believe and trust they are OK.
Then another set goes up on eBay. I asked for better pics of underside of tuners, he sends the same blurred out pictures as ones on eBay. Funny his pics are perfect.. ALL BUT the underside of the tuners. Again, I trusted him. I get the 2nd set, I glanced at them and put them in my shop. My gut feeling kept me thinking. This guy does Not have any high end vintage, he sells low end junk. How he get all these no line kluson supposed to be tuners? Always wants a check, so I can't charge it back.He uses a PO Box for mail??? Well I figured it out, had to go to the police, and soon to court. It's a felony. This guy still has tuners on eBay now for sale. No good pictures of underside. He took the tuners back, after he acted like a kid, saying I am rich and don't need the money. Bull. He stole from me.
Here is how he is stealing from buyers on internet. He is taking kluson tuners, getting old outside casings from No Line Kluson, Gibson, whatever. Like the Les Paul Jr with white tips tuners, bending the tabs to take (no line) off and back on again. I run into 2 other dealers who seen these tuners on Craigslist. I mean come on, sell tuners on Craigslist.. Yes if to lie and rob.
Look at the pics of his tuners he took me for $2,000.. Yes I even get taking, but I will do my part to out these known vintage part sellers!!!!
See in his way of thinking, they are all old parts.. But TELL The Truth in you piecing together tuners then scamming. That simple!
He always insist on a check, no paypal. Has money sent to a PO Box, and his email is a free Yahoo email. Sorry any person getting $100's and $1,000 of dollars needs to have your Paid internet email, and home or shop address, I mean why so dam hidden? Unless your dirty!!!
Always has very poor pictures of underside ..most notable the tabs on his tuners. He has sold many MANY sets on eBay.. Where does one always just selling $1,000 tuners but No Other PRE CBS Parts??? Hummmmmm You be the Judge!
Many players/buyers do not know all the scams low life sellers try to pull. I don't get off on being the internet police, but if there is 1 thing I hate is sellers who knowing lie, and scam. Period. No more needs to be said from my view and principles on this. I have look at and went to buy many a Vintage Fender Strat or Tele. I go it is not all original. Then a seller goes I was told it was and paid the price. I see that hurt in their eye or voice. I got many pics of both sets I got ripped off on. No way on earth why every single tuner he sells they were opened up, and messed with... Except what I proven. He signed for the return tuners, and just disappeared from paying me back. He did say, I will sell them on eBay and then pay me. I go and rob another! I did this to warn and teach others, that mite not know.:)
The next to last pic is his fraud tuners on eBay now. All pics are clear, except underside. Even in his write up on eBay he states we will get better pictures up in daylight.. Funny the pics on there now are outdoors!
The last picture is one of the sets (the 2nd set I got from William Rogers) with what I paid. Even in this pic, you can see every single tab altered.. because they are made to appear as Vintage. Go look at ever single sett of tuners I am selling now, or have sold on my site.. Not 1 single tab messed with. Because they are all real.. that I sell.
Call out these freaking lying low life! Ya I'm mad.. 2k will do it to ya... But to be honest, people that commit fraud in This Vintage Market pisses me off over the money...I will keep up dated over Court I'm taking him.
Look at last 5 pictures. This sums up everything he did. He got a $50 set of no line tuners all broke up, took the kluson no line backs off, put them on single line Strat tuners. Jacked the price you $600 to $900 and have been pulling a scam. When you buy a $50,000 to 80k Early Brodcaster or Black Guard Tele that is unreal money. People pay that for Original, not lied changed part Guitar. A Lie is a Lie.. !
I done this so others mite not be robbed and have that sick feeling of such!
