TIP FOR NEWBIES:

Whenever you intend to go to Tom's place in Roxas Blvd, by all means, don't text or call when you're in HIS home. 

why is that?

hmmm... ba't kaya ayaw niyang tatawag ka or text pag nasa house ka niya? siguro takot siya na baka isa kang thief na may tinatawagan at sinasabi na maraming mahahakot sa kanya at umpisahan na ang operasyon... kung sa bagay, kung ganun nga ang dahilan niya eh wala nang kaduda-duda, sa dami ba naman ng gamit niya eh... sino bang mabait diyan na may naitatagong picture niya ng makita naman ng iba pang hindi nakakakita sa kanya.... (nagmukha namang wanted si tom dito sa thread na ito... hahahaha)...

[borgy]

baka naman takot na masetup sa huli... baka nanonood ng XXX or isumbong mo kay tulfo. hehehhe

[bumbum]

may mga documentary cd ako about nazi.. pag naiisip ko yung mga pinaggagawa nila during those time, ang lupet.  and now here is this arrogant german sa mismong bansa natin na kala mo kung sino sya.. dapat sa mga bastos na dayuhan e ipatapon sa ibang planeta.

[lateralis]

Para dun sa mga nagbabalak magbenta ng vintage gears, mas mainam na sa kapwa pinoy na lang. treasure na kasi yan eh.

EXACTLY!! pamana na lang natin sa kapwa pinoy mga gears natin.

[nealyu]

EXACTLY!! pamana na lang natin sa kapwa pinoy mga gears natin.

post niyo nalang dito gear niyo and i think mas mataas mabebenta kaysa pag ibenta dun kay you know who.

[lateralis]

ITO ANG SINABI NYA SA AKIN " THE PHILIPPINES IS THE LAST FRONTIER OF OLD VINTAGE GUITARS IN ASIA" TAMA BA FRONTIER KO? BILE SYA DITO BENTA NYA EUROPE, KASI MAS MAHAL BINIBILE SA EUROPE KESA US, PEDE TAYONG MAASAR KA C NILALABAS NYA GUITAR DITO. PERO IN REALITY TAYO DIN ANG NAGLALABAS NG VINTAGE GEARS NATIN KASI BINEBENTA NATIN SA KANYA, AT BAKA KARAMIHAN SA ATIN D PA PINAPANGANAK BUY AND SELL NA TO,  AT ISA LANG MASASABI KO "KUNG HAWAK MO GITARA NG LOLO MO, IPAMANA MO NALANG SA MAGIGING APO MO" PROBLEM SOLVE

That's the main reason why he's here in OUR SHORES!!

So, before you sell your guitar or whatever musical item, think first:
"Who do i want to be the next owner of my beloved guitar... a fellow Pinoy or a German?"


Hope this would open lots of minds of Pinoys & would think about their FELLOW COUNTRYMEN FIRST!

LONG LIVE PINOYS!haha!

pagagalitan ka...pero nun si BB Deltaslim ang kinagalitan niya...sermon naman ang inabot ni Tommy tommy po tommy bananapana po Tommy.. fi fiay mahoney...Tommy! 

Haha... aalala mo pala yung kwento ko un, BB ha!  Buoin ko na nga ung kwento...

It was my first time going to his place and dealing w/ him in person. I was there to sell a bunch of stuff, mostly pedals and pickups.  When he asked about the price of one of the pickups, and I can't remember the price, I opened my Treo to check.  Ganito dialog namin:

Tom: What are you doing?  What are you doing?   Don't text -- we are talking and doing business here.

Joric: What??!   We ARE talking and doing business. But I need to check the price of the item and it's in my phone. I need to do this if you wanna continue talking and do business. (*After saying this, kumulo na rin dugo ko and I really showed it in my face, body language, and attitude.*)

Tom: I don't let anyone text in my house.

Joric:  Well do you want to know the price or not?  I can only tell you by accessing my phone. Otherwise, I can't sell you the thing.

At this point, Tom lets it pass and allows me to do my thing on my phone.  I then give him the price and he starts haggling.  After a few minutes I realize he's a seasoned haggler and it's likely I won't get my desired price. 

Joric: So what's your final offer? (This was for a package deal on a couple of pedals)

Tom: *States his price... Which doesn't meet mine*

Joric: Ok, thanks anyway.

I then pack up my stuff to leave.  While going out the door he makes one final offer on one pedal that really interests him.  It met my last price for that pedal and so I sold it to him.

I've been back there one other time but it was much smoother and he was much more accommodating and friendly.  Maybe also because we also bumped into each other at Arie's bday party where he was dancing like, well, a white guy!  .

I think ang key with Tom and others of his ilk is to remember this:

1. Walang manloloko kung di magpapalok (but this is easier said than done if you're not streetwise)
2.  Maintain your self-respect as a person and as a Filipino.  You know your rights, even if you are a house guest.
3.  You don't HAVE TO buy/sell at a disadvantage.  Don't sell or buy and then complain that you got duped.  That's crying over milk you spilled yourself.

[deltaslim]

ganito diskarte. kunwari bibili tayo ng hi end na gitara nya.tapos pagdating natin sa room nya,igapos agad natin tsaka bugbugin natin ng konti..tapos kuhanin natin lahat ng gitara nya!!! hahaha.. joke lang po.. that's bad!!!!!pero kung ako siguro makakadeal nyan hindi tatawad yan.. iipitin ko sya sa mga muscle at bilbil ko e...hehe... i love you papa tom!!tsup tsup!!!

This is a good plan to get in jail. 

None of his guests leave the building without Tom himself giving a go-ahead to the security that his guest are free to leave.  None of his visitors can come up to his unit without Tom giving a go-signal either. 

Again, if you think this arrangements are oppressive or ridiculous, then take your business elsewhere.  You always have that option.

very well said! 

[ferdz_33]

very well said! 

amen!!!

di ako magaling mag-inggles at di din ako sanay makipag-usap sa foreigner but when i went to Tom's place di naman ako natakot, kasi bago ako pumuta dun kinakabahan ako dahil sa mga nababasa ko sa kanya. but actually he's a nice guy compared to some of our kababayans. 

nung andun ako sa kanila yung wife and kids ko ay nasa Robinson's Place at
tinitext ko sila using my cellphone habang andun ako kila Tom.  di naman nya ako sinisita at wala din sa itsura nya na galit sya. 

at ang maganda pa kay Tom pede utang!  pumayag sya na kulang ng 500 ung bayad ko kasi kulang yung dala kong pera. binayaran ko na lang sya nung bumalik ako sa kanila. hehehe

kung magpapasindak kayo yari kayo, pero kung palaban kayo panalo kayo. good luck in case some of you will deal with him.

[bugoy]

3 times ko na siya naka usap sa phone ok naman siya kausap ang bait nga saka ma kwento kahit wala ako nabili sa mga offer niya mabait pa nga niya sinasabi sakin na since hindi ko bibilhin yung inooffer niya i alok ko na lang daw sa mag friends ko at maayos niya sinasabi sakin yun

[maniacally_cool]

he's not that bad naman. ok naman siya kausap and he keeps me updated too when i told him that i was looking for a flying V. he event informed me that he's back here in the phils a couple of months ago.

barat na kung barat but there are also some instances when you can get a good deal. asa tao rin kasi yun if susunod ka sa gusto niya.

siguro kaya ayaw niya na may nagtetext habang nakikipagdeal kasi masasayang oras niya. i remembered nung pumunta kami nung friend ko dun to sell/trade a bass guitar, e medyo napaaga ata kami ng punta, meron pa siyang kadeal nun. i think it was sir joric (deltaslim). kumbaga naka-set na ung oras ng appointments niya kaya ayaw rin siguro niya mag-overlap ung visitors niya.

sobrang dami nga ng gears dun. from high end to low end stuff, mint or not, meron siya. 1 guitar i always remember was a Gibson les paul studio, used condition and the only issue is putol lang ung pup switch and he's first offer was only 30K!

[dan_sparta]

puntahan nyo sya para kayo mismo makakilala sa kanya, kung ala ka balls makipagusap, paparamdam nya sayo na maging dominante sya para makuha nya gusto nyang price sa deal nyo, syempre nagosyante, pero kung padadama mo sa kanya na alam mo kung ano binebenta mo bibilhin naman nya ng maayos, mahirap kasi satin na hear say lagi bibigyan nang rumor na kesyo ganito ,ganyan, at yung mga naka deal nya na nagkamali sa deal isipin nyo din BAKIT? peace di ba lagi tayo nadadale sa HYPE!

[toybitz]

ako rin kinagalitan ko yan over the phone...

the 3rd day, tawag ako uli...German:  So what's your business? PinoyBitoy:  Excuse me...but you keep texting to call you about my PUs and everytime I call you are busy.  YOU ARE WASTING MY TIME.  German: uh,...uh...sorry..blahblah...  PinoyBitoy:  KaBLAGS sa phone.  8 )
