Mr. Blue Brad Hales

[Modernsoulsucks]

Brad advertised a few 45s on here back in November. I bought Reflections "Romeo & Juliet" and sent him £8 by Paypal which he accepted on 29 November. So far no sign of my 45 and I've had no replies to two enquiries I sent by PM on 17th and 29th December.

OK it was only £8 but bit miffed he's not got in contact when I've contacted him twice now.

Anyone on here in contact with him? I guess he may have sent it surface but just wondering if anyone else has had any dealings with him outside of Ebay.

Thanks

Hope you get sorted.

I was honoured to actually meet Brad whilst in Seattle last year... a more genuine guy you honestly couldn't wish to meet.

Nothing to do with your problem or Brad... but I'm waiting for a letter that has been redirected back to me here due to the fact it arrived at the house we were staying at in Seattle after we were already back home in England.

It was posted the first week in December... it still hasn't arrived.

[Modernsoulsucks]

Thanks for info people. I'll give it another week to turn up and then I suppose I can now phone him or write to him from details supplied by PM.

However, IMO pretty rubbish service from a seller. That's NOT answering two Pms querying non-arrival and I won't bother buying from him again.

The US mail service have finished doing surface mail.

Hi Rod. I think Brad is sometimes slow to respond to email and sometimes tours out of town with his band. I had bought that louis curry he posted up here when he posted here and got it quickly. He's very honest, though, I'm sure he'll refund your money if he did send it and you didn't get it.

Blimey...sounds like he's royalty

He's way better than any royal family members I know

Agree with all the comments above. One of the greatest people I've ever met, truly. I'm sure the problem is in the postal service

He does wait a bit after answering e-mails and stuff, though

I'm sure he'll contact you and your problem will be solved...

It was an honour... he's a really nice guy.

I am sure I would be honoured to meet you too Pete... if the opportunity ever presented itself.

[Weingarden]

he's a close friend of mine and still slow to respond to my emails despite that....but he's one of the finest people you're going to meet in the soul world, honest as they come.

[Modernsoulsucks]

I just checked his "Me" page and he ain't been on here since 27th November so I've contacted him via Ebay.

Im sure Brad is a very nice guy but seriously if you put an ad on SS to sell 45s why wouldn't you go back every now and then to check for replies. It's a bit sloppy isn't it?

Still, my wife is very nice too but I wouldn't let her out on her own!!

Thanks for all the input. I can sort this out now hopefully.

I am happy to see that Brad's reputation as a class dude precedes him. All the positive comments said about him above are completely true and warranted. Yes, he is forgetful sometimes and slow to respond to email sometimes. The best way to contact him is to call him. But, for real, Brad would give you the clothes off his back, a bed to sleep in, food, and the rarest record in his collection if you needed it and not think twice. In fact, I feel like he has done that for me multiple times. Crack heads walk into his store in Detroit with $5000 dollar records and he pays them the same overly fair price he would pay a reluctant collector selling his collection. I saw a homeless man completely lose his mind and jump for joy when he saw Brad walking across the street in Detroit, yelling "It's Brad, yaaaaay, It's Braaaadddd!" When it comes to records in Detroit, Brad is like Jesus. He is one my personal heroes.

Spoke to Brad today and told him about this , he does not know about whats gone on , he said he was going to log back on here , yes nice guy and like i first sent a pm modernsoulsucks with a contact number for Brad.

[Modernsoulsucks]

He's been in contact thanks in response to my message via ebay.

He seems very disorganised but was extremely apologetic and Im now sorted. However although I appreciate that all you who know him agree he's a nice guy if you buy a 45 from here and don't receive it, then send two PMs a couple of weeks apart and don't get a reply, as a one-time dealer in 45s, I'd say it's not good customer service.

Anyone on here who has bought 45s off me either on here or when I did mail order as Out of the Past in Manchester will tell you that I don't expect sellers to have standards other than those I apply to myself.
