An Apology and Pledge to the Knife Collecting Community
I'd like to apologize to all of you for:
1. Unintentionally posting incorrect and misleading listings of knives I was trying to sell on eBay.
2. Using someone's name to imply, even indirectly, that they were validating my knives.
3. Not correcting or terminating these listings promptly when presented with the information to do so.
4. Engaging in non-pertinent flame wars.
I've learned a painful lesson, which I hope not to repeat. As a result, I pledge to:
1. Do far better research on any knives I plan to sell on eBay or elsewhere by relying on people like you to provide me with the necessary information.
2. Promptly amend or, when necessary, terminate any listings over which there is a controversy when presented with the information to do so. In good faith, I cannot do so based on mere accusation without the rationale for the accusations.
3. Be meticulous and objective in my listings.
4. Offer a life-time return policy (as I do on gambling items) on any knife I sell that does not conform to the description I provided the buyer.
5. Resist the temptation to respond to public abuse with more of the same.
6. Try to resolve differences in a professional, prompt, polite manner.
I hope you see fit to accept this. If you have any comments, I would appreciate your emailing me (gambler@cinci.rr.com) with them. If you ever get to Cincinnati, you have an open invitation to come visit and see my gambling (not knife) collection. Just email or call (513/271-8477) and we can set up a time.
Finally, I've been presented with a couple of knives for possible purchase. Needless to say, I'm a trifle bit gun-shy (knife-shy?). Would anyone out there be willing to look at photos of them and give me your thoughts? I am prepared to pay for such opinions.
Thank you all,
Bob Rosenberger
