Peter J. Natoli Sold me a Vintage Fender amp that was Majorly bastardized, he swore it was 100% Original Scottsdale Arizona

I've seen several disturbing postings all over the internet regarding Peter Natoli, AKA drumjunkky, AKA coolklosetklassics as an Ebay seller. Both of those ID's now come up as "no longer a registered user". Now it seems he's operating under another Ebay user ID which is "marcelsattic. It seems rather strange that if his first two ID's had been pulled from Ebay, how is he able to open another one? One would have to assume that it was done under false information, which would explain the reason for this guy to be useing an alias in this transaction. Haveing said all that, anyone with an ounce of sense can see that this guy is very deceitful!!!

The above rebuttal also sounds alot like a very defensive rant coming from a guilty person that is desperatly trying to convince others and himself that he's innocent. It's a very poor attempt at redemption. I've also seen him display this same behavior on other websites.

His antics are also widely discussed on several different drum and musical instrument forums and web sites. Just do a google search on this clown and see for yourself.

he Consumer Comment left, goes to the heart of the issue. I SHOULD have opened up that amp right there; if I had, this whole situation would have been avoided! I was at his house (though he lied there too and told me it was his brother's house...) for a total of maybe 30 minutes. I could tell from looking at the back of the amp, he had taken one of the 5881 power tubes out and put a 6L6GC in (wrong tube, stuck out like a sore thumb). Of course I knew it would need new tubes and some cleaning up and 'elbow grease' , but Integral parts changed out is something one could only know by taking it apart. Which is why he knew to call my Tech, because I told him the unit was going straight there.

Again, he told me a Tech had the amp "...on his bench for 4 hours, and it sounds great! I paid that guy $250 to make sure it was 100%" He looked me in the eye and said it was all original as his auction also stated:

I had never met this guy before. I don't just expect to get ripped off. If some one looks me in the eye and says, "I swear on my father's grave, it is 100%, and you know where to come if you have any problems, I'm a straight up guy...", I believe them. Although, now, I will for sure be checking everything twice and not just believing someone who swears on anyone's grave!!! If someone says, "My name is Marc" is there something their I should automatically not believe?
As far as his note, he signed that as 'Marc Dietz', he told me his name was 'Marcel Dietz', but it is PETER J. NAPOLI, I don't know 'Marc Dietz', never met him. I question whether he exists, and if he does, he should be pissed: Peter J. Napoli is going around doing shady deals and signing his name to them. How many friends let there other friend use there email to respond? It wasn't "Peter" responding to me through eBay and inviting me to see the amp at 64th Street and Bell Rd, it was Peter disguised as Marc..."come up to MY brother's house", not "My friend Peter wants you to come see the amp at his Brother's house..."
Bottom line- Peter J. Napoli defrauded me the moment I called him "Marcel" and he said "...call me Marc..."

As my Grandmother would have said, "This guy is full of It."

As far as him being a former NYC cop. (Though when talking to him on the phone after discovering his true identity. I said "Shame on you, you used to be a cop and you should know better then to fraudulently use someone else's name and represent yourself as them", he never said anything about not being a cop then, he was just silent...and we were on the phone that night for nearly 1 1/2 hours!) In the end, either way, that has no bearing on this at all. It is a total 'Red Herring'. Another local collector told me he was, in the same sentence as "...better stay away from that guy, you'll just get ripped off."

Like I already said, wish I had known his real name and his reputation before hand. Google drumjunkky or coolklosetklassics, his former eBay user names, you will see the many people that have been ripped off before by Mr Natoli.

My only fault in this all, was being far too trusting.

I only I HAD taken it apart...

Stop pleading and whining. To Me, it makes you look very guilty. In addition, you appear to me, to be 'lying' here.

1. No one would even need to change the power transformer on a working amplifier.

2. Because of (1) above, there would be no need to cut holes in the chassis.

3. If the buyer had really inspected the inside of the amp, found the bad transformer installation and the chassis holes, he wouldn't have bought the amp from you.
