Silvertone Guitar

Vintage 60's Sears Silverton 1482 amp. It's in good condition. Works 100% with no issues. Yes, even the tremolo works. No footswitch. They appear to be all the original tubes. So with that in mind the 40 something year old tubes themselves are to be considered AS-IS. I can't guarantee how long they will last but they do currently work.

Other Items For Sale

ATTENTION!!!!!!!! I will accept returns if the item is not as described or not working as claimed. I WILL NOT accept a return if you just decide that you don't like the item after playing with it.

Buyer pays $50 shipping in the lower 48 states. US shipping Only!! Paypal ONLY!!! Immediate payment! Sorry I have to start doing this but I have too many deadbeats and excuses since ebay changed the feedback rules. I can't wait weeks for a payment with the fear of getting a negative if I relist the item. And I'm so tired of the "I didn't send the payment because there was a death in my family" excuse.

!!!!!! ZERO Feedback users must contact me before bidding or your bid will be canceled!!!!!

I do try to ship items out quickly. Small items usually go out the next day. Larger items that have to ship with UPS usually take a couple extra days.

WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE THE US!! THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE!!!! PLEASE DON'T ASK!!!

FYI. I am located at The actual Jersey shore. ( yes, like that horrible TV show) Not Jersey Shore, PA. Local pickup is welcome on large items, but it will be at my convenience

Due to Ebay's recent email to me regarding my public opinions of their feedback system (among other things), I will now keep my opinions to myself regarding a certain auction site's unfair treatment of sellers to attract more buyers so they can sell more advertising space on their website that would not exist without THE SELLERS. I guess there's a fine line between opinion and truth. I will still exercise my right not to leave feedback for anyone per ebay policy.

Please read the description thoroughly. Most of your questions should be answered right there. If it says it works 100% with no issues please don't email me to ask me if it has any issues. Please feel free to ask intelligent questions after you have read ALL the details above and below. I don't bite. I just don't have the time to answer questions that are already answered.

If shipping is clearly stated in the details above and you still ask how much shipping is, I will add a $5 idiot fee to the shipping cost.

If you are asking for overnight or some other special shipping I'll waive the idiot fee.

I reserve the right to apply the idiot fee where I see fit. So don't be an idiot and you won't have to pay.

The following Countries are not located inside the US

Germany

Yugoslavia

Africa (It has just been brought to my attention that Africa is not actually a Country and is in fact a continent. (my bad) I will not ship to the continent of Africa or any countries located in it) (I also will not ship to any other continents other than the lower part of North America not including Mexico)

(There seems to be some debate as to how many there are and also what is considered a continent. To clear things up I will not ship to the lower part of what some still consider North America. Commonly referred to as "Central America")

Canada (this includes any part of Canada that is not in the US))

England (Unless it's to any of the remaining Beatles other than Ringo)

Russia (This includes the Russian Space station. The one in Space and any other Russian Space stations)

Australia (The Dingo's got the Baby!!!)

Any other Country besides the US (United States of America)

Special note!!!!!!..... Miami is NOT it's own country and IS inside the US!!!!!!!!

Update 2/11/10 - I guess the people of Miami are still confused.

Just got this email from Francisco--- "Hi, whats the problem with Miami, I am from Miami, I can to put the order to Miami Fl 33126? The conector ARE ALL NEWS ? "
Wow! Congrats Francisco! You just made it to my wall of fame.

Another special note......... It has come to my attention that there may be a Russian space station somewhere in Wisconsin. On display for all the Wisconsinians to see. I will make a special exception in this case. If anyone at this particular Russian space station would like one of my items, I will gladly ship it there. http://www.tommybartlett.com/modules/web/index.php/id/15  

Since I have so many requests for it, I will now ship to Uranus. Provided it's a confirmed address. I'll need to know your exact position in your orbit at the time of delivery to get an exact shipping quote

I've decided to make an exception in my shipping policy for England.

I will now ship to Ringo Starr if he would like one of my items.

This includes only the original Ringo Starr.

Not impersonators or anyone that just looks like him.

This does not include any relatives, neighbors or friends of Ringo.

This only applies to a confirmed shipping address in England and does not include any other shipping address that is not inside England. With the exception of the United States of course.

Here are some actual questions that I recently got from ebay users.

"Why so much for this one? Is it that muck different? Does this amp sound good,does it have distoertion that some guitar like to used to give the guitar a better gut?"

"gut" ?????????

?

Here's one that I just got from someone that couldn't understand my shipping details or English for that matter. "How many years has your duall? you have larger pics? i have $925,00, accept? paypal, ok? you send in usps (shipping-surface) for the Brazil? I pay shipping? I need that you declares in usps...$275,00, therefore I will pay 60% of fee in Brazil. is normal? accept?...thanks" No.............. Thank YOU buddy.

This just in......... "Hello, why are you so? Did someone do to you from the foreign country something, or is bad for you all other humans? Not each humans speak and write your language... its Ebay side are perfect very badly for it.I come from Germany, and would gladly be if I your Amp at a fair price buy could, but from you I did not like to do... you to anything me wrong... unfortunate."
Not sure if this is even a question.

Now this guy is actually funny.. David from CA writes. "Will you ship to the past so this item is desireable?" Yes Dave, I will ship to the past as long as I can get it up to 88 MPH. And I'll need to put a flux capacitor in it. And of course I will only ship to the US past.

Ahh Another fine example from our neighbors from the north. Classic Stupidity Eh?

Q: Hi, I live in the Vancouver area of BC Canada. Woulod you ship it to me if I purchase it, and if yes, how much for shipping? Thanks, Rob.

A: Please check the auction again for my shipping details for Canada.

Q: I see nothing on there that says how much to ship to Canada.....please just answer the question. Will you ship to Canada and if so, how much? It's a simple question. Rob.

A: If you can READ you will see my specific details about shipping to Canada. I don't feel the need to repeat myself. All you have to do is read the auction. Very simple.

Q: Hmm...lets see now, you have taken the time to respond twice, yet with no answer. I also see a person with a little attitude.
So hang on to your guitar for a little while longer and sweat a little more, your a f***ing "Duefis". You just lost a potential sale, you can keep your attitude and your guitar.
A: If you took the time or were smart enough to read my auction details you would clearly see the answer to your question. If you read the auction instead of just look at the pics like a retard you would see that I'm not missing out on a potential sale. Oh... And congrats. You've made it to my wall of fame.

OK Here's my favorite one of all time. Nice to see there are similar humans out there who get my humor.

sky-dive-69 writes-----"After thoroughly reading your auction, i regret that i must still question you due to some confusion. i also live in new jersey, the question is, will you ship to new jersey. now i understand you ship only to the usa, yet, upon leaving new jersey, i recall a road sign in PA stating "leaving new jersey, welcome to america". apparently new jersey was pissed and requested it be removed, yet im still confused if new jersey is actually considered a united state of america.........im sure i have now also confused you as to whether you will ship to your own state being it is possibly not in america.......feel free to use this question on your wall to clarify this to any future potential bidders from this state......and have yourself a super day...."

Q: Hey Budda, I'm not really interested in your crap, but I have to ask a question about foreign shipping. Your listing is contradicting in that, at one point you flatly refuse to ship outside the US. However, later on you state that you WILL ship to "the lower part of North America not including Mexico". So, my question is, why are you willing to ship to the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago but not Mexico? Your listing is very ambiguous; albeit entertaining. BTW, we're all glad you clarified the whole Africa thing. Good to know that there's at least one American that knows that Africa is not a country. Time to brush up on your North American geography, I'm afraid.

A: The lower part of North America would be the United states being that the top part is Canada and any other "attachments". I excluded Mexico as it IS part of North America. The area that you are referring to is "Central" America. Thank you. I will be adding your question to my wall of fame.

Thanks to dblodork :

Q: I am not at all interested in the amp, but I wanted to know where you got your sense of humor from. It wasn't listed in the ad, but after reading your descriptions for the item and the shipping details, I know you have one. I have one too, but I was looking to maybe "upgrade" it a little and the one you have seems like just the one I would like to have. If yours is available, and is still in good working condition, would you please let me know how much you are looking to get for it? Also, if it needs to be shipped can you send me the cost for that as well to 85248? Thanks so much!!

A: I'm sorry but my sense of humor is not for sale. However I can sell you a copy of it for $29.95. I assure you it's a valid copy with certificate of authenticity. It comes in your choice of 1 CD or 14 floppy disks. You must sign a form that says that you will not make illegal copies of my sense of humor. I will also offer upgrades at a later time. My Humor 2.0, My Humor 2.0 Pro and My Humor 3.0 Special Edition. If you act now I'll send you a Limited Edition copy of an MRI of my brain. Would you like overnight shipping, Priority Mail or carrier pigeon. You can also purchase this at any Walmart but all the good s#!t is edited out.

If your questions look anything like these, please don't send them !!!!! (unless they are similar to sky-dive-69 or dblodork question)

( The details above are not the rantings of a lunatic. Most people do find this funny. The people that don't find it funny are the ones that we are all laughing at )
