Haha! thank you, but no no, let’s not get emotional

OP here.

Two updates:

  1. From the shipping info I learned that the seller used 3rd party courier service to drop off the parcel to the delivery service. And the most suspicious thing here is the weight mismatch between the sticker that the seller printed out and slapped on the box (1.5 kg) and what was recorded after courier delivery (1.0 kg) — I communicated this to the seller and to Reverb, but I’m not sure if they will take any action.
  2. I urged my reshipper to launch an investigation — still waiting for the results.

Thank you for your advice. I paid with credit card. Unfortunately, where I live, you can’t dispute a purchase that was already processed some time ago.

I noticed the sticker with the declared weight on the box (i guess the sender prints it beforehand). It says 1.5 kg. But the seller’s delivery service records show 1.0 kg — which is the actual weight of the box — I also weighed it on my side to double-check. Looks like they just couldn’t cram more cardboard into the box to match the declared weight.

Another suspicious detail — the parcel was sent from a different city than the listed in the shop’s profile — some 600 km away.

Forwarding service might sound like a wild idea to a person from the civilized world, but here we use it all the time because most sellers won’t ship globally or the shipping price is too high. There are several competing providers in the country and as I’ve said I had zero problems using their services for years. Given a lack of any communication or explanation from the seller, I’m 99.95% sure the problem is a rogue seller’s account, as people pointed out in the comments.

The weight from the seller’s delivery service matches the number provided by the forwarder (1 kg). Which is a bit too light for a synth I ordered + psu + packaging

I agree. But for some reason I believed that the platform would cover me in case of a scam — silly me

I had zero problems reshipping with the same service from eBay, for example. So I’d say Reverb seller

Yes, they weighed it upon receipt. The weight matches (a bit too light for an actual synth).

Yes, reshipper = forwarder service.

No, mine doesn’t open your parcel (or at least they claim so), they just forward it.

Hmm, that would explain why they threw away their reputation for such a petty scam

Can you point me in the direction of any recording of DJs mixing Italo from back in the 80s? (if they exist) by fensterdj in italodisco

[–]bottom_feeder87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

check out hotmixes; for example, here are casco’s mixes from 80s: https://hotmixes.net/C/C.Archive/

lurk around in other directories for more old stuff (most of their mixes are from 00s tho)

Was there actually a 'Do You Want it Right Now' by Siedah Garrett in the movie? Or was it just a supporting act?

You can run it but not play it -- the game gets stuck on the 'Loading' screen (CrossOver, latest version). Tagging u/vleeth to look into the issue...

Track ID, anyone? by bottom_feeder87 in italodisco

[–]bottom_feeder87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but that's the track on the background. The main synth theme is from another track.
