Has anyone bought knives from [Removed] ? He goes by srjoben on youtube. Is he a good seller? does he ship promptly? good communication?

ive dealt with him several times and jonathan gets an A+ in my book. i believe he is also a member here on bladeforums

I also bought from him and it was a very good experience. He shipped my knife promptly.
I'd buy again and recommend him as a seller.

What's his username? I've been having trouble contacting him and i want to know if he's ducking my e-mails or just on vacation or something. The time of his last login might be informative.

his username is joben... pretty odd, i just ordered an enlan from him 2-3 weeks ago and that went smooth.

He is currently not a paid dealer or have any other subscription to sell here. Proceed with caution.

Yeah. stuff happens i guess. Looks like he hasn't been online in quite a while so that doesn't really tell me anything. Judging by what everyone else says about him he's probably just out of town.

I don't get why people say stuff like that. While many (most?) of the BF dealers are great, it's not like there's some strict selection process in the choosing of BF advertisers. It's mostly just a bunch of people that decided it was a good business decision to advertise with BF.

Not exactly sure what you are confused with. A paid membership here allows you to sell on this site specifically. Doing it on the side, on the backs of those that pay to be here isn't something that is recommended. Spark owns this place, and he makes the rules.
I hope this clears up any confusion:

Guys, dealers pay for the ability to advertise here. Paid subscriptions keep this site open. Linking to non-paying dealers screws everybody. If you want to plug them, contact that dealer and suggest they get a paid subscription here. A 1 year subscription here costs less than a single 1/6th page ad in a mag for 1 month.

OP was everything worked out?

[fatherhudson]

Yeah, he got in touch with me today. He was on vacation.

[Theknife]

He is srjoben on the forums and is a family member of mine. I would say he is good.

Not so hard to understand really....
If you are doing business with craftsmen on youtube, Then your business remains with them there. If you bring it here and staff finds that he is a member here and doing business without the appropriate membership on the backs of the paid membership, that member stands to be infracted or banned.
