No, not to buy it, the owner owes me money and he thinks avoiding my calls and making himself scarce will save him from paying his bill. He even moved so I guess he thinks he's got it made. His problem is he still has the same phone number and his bike just showed up on kijiji with his name and phone number to contact. He doesn't know my cell number so when my phone call about the bike went to his voicemail I sent him a text about the bike and he responded. I am meeting him tomorrow at his new home at 6 pm....:D

As my health has deteriorated, I had a 17 year friend that I literally had in my estate planner to assist my wife (primary executor) or my nephew (secondary) selling all my guitars, both 442s, and my old Tacoma since he has done sales on all the above during his life. We had agreed to the proceeds going to the local Humane Society minus his 10%. Eight years my junior, he recently entered his midlife crisis, divorced his wife of over 20 years, last time he was out he borrowed a guitar he said he just needed to record a song with some friends, bought a new Harley, married a gal he met on the internet after 2 weeks, and is apparently just keeping my guitar now. I left him a poignant message a while back which he never responded to but he now apparently has a new number and he and his new biker bride have disappeared. Fortunately, it was $800 new, probably worth just $300-350 now.

Just glad I learned about his dark side BEFORE 12 guitars, amps and effects, 2 cars, and a truck ~ $100K worth of stuff made it into his possession too.

Sad this crap happens period but you think after 17 years you know someone . . . :roll:

The french have a proverb "Les bons comptes font les bons amis". Literally it means "Good accounts make good friends". The real french meaning behind it is: when it comes to money, don't trust anybody, and if someone shows trust in you, repay him in full with the same value but never expect the same from others ^^

There won't be any need for muscle or a silver friend. People who try to pull this stuff off and hide are cowards or he would be on the phone telling me he's not paying. I'm not heading there to physically force him to pay but it will be fun to see the expression on his face when I show up.
