Reverb is protecting bad sellers and is no longer a trustworthy company. I have been doing business with Reverb for over 7 years and in the beginning, it was great. You could get in touch with customer service people on the phone and discuss any issues. Now, there is no getting in touch with anyone any longer. If you have a bad seller who misrepresents the true condition of the item, Reverb no longer protects the buyer and their Buyer Protection Program is meaningless. They will arbitrarily decide against you and then you are stuck with an instrument that may have cost thousands of dollars with no protection. That just happened to me! The seller has a 7 day return policy, but he denied the return. Ordinarily, Reverb would step in and force the bad seller to accept the return. Well, they no longer will do that! I got stuck with an instrument which is in such poor condition that it is unplayable! They ruled against me! No matter how much documentation I uploaded which clearly shows the true condition of the instrument...they don't care about their customers anymore. I will no longer do business with Reverb.
