His website is here:

beware-encore-pianos.com

From talking with Mat and reading his website he gave them a piano to sell on consignment for him. They sold it, but did not give him the money from the sale – none of it. Also mentioned on his site is the fact that this is not the first time they have done this. Another former customer contacted him saying the same thing happened to them.

It is unfortunate that this has happened especially to a good guy like Mat. If you can, spread the word of his story and definitely don’t buy anything from them as it could be stolen.

There is a chance that Chase could buy them but I really do not want to get caught in that transition period when millions of folks are being transitioned at the same time.

The other reasons that Chase is a good switch to us is that we have our mortgage with them and they have a branch that is right down the street from our house. The closet WAMU was quite a distance so going to the bank was always “a trip to the bank”. Having a Chase bank on the corner will add to the convenience factor.

Things that I liked about WAMU were:

  • They never screwed up my account
  • They never screwed up my account and then made me convince them that they screwed up my account (unlike another bank that starts with a “B” and ends with an “A”)
  • They worked with me when I screwed up my account
  • The gave me free checks for life! (who knew it would be so short ;-( )

I hope that Chase is close to being as good of a bank as WAMU was. Farewell WAMU, you were the best bank I ever had.

The commercial went on to say all the reasons why people gain weight – stress, having kids, poor diet, and lack of exercise. Then in the same sentence they went on to say how they have come up with this pill that will help you lose weight as opposed to eliminating stress, eating right, and start exercising. Unbelievable!

What is even more amazing is that I am sure there were people at that very moment listening to that commercial saying to themselves “I wonder if that pill would work for me?”. It is amazing how things can be spun right in front of of our eyes sometimes and we completely miss it.

Amazing.
