Bad-Kenny Babbit/ artistic cutlery quest*
Who am I?
My name is Brian and I am a newer member here. I have done business with several of the hosted forum makers and others in the makers for sale area with no problems. My feedback is 100% positive here and everywhere else I buy and sell online.*I am also a guy who just wanted to buy a knife.
So here is my negative experience with this so called dealer. Kenny backed out of our deal a week after I paid in full. He also failed to ship twice as promised. He never updated me when it did not ship the second time. I had to ask.*
Here's the timeline. I have everything (and much more) mentioned in text messages on my phone. Will post as needed.*
4/13/12*
Kenny says pay by 11:30 and package ships today. I pay before said time and he fails to ship. Reason: "talking to lawyers all day."
4/14/12
says he cannot provide custom kydex sheath he promised. we negotiate a substitution and he promises to ship Monday. If you look at my profile theres a message from Kenny where he talks about the no go sheath and substitutions.*
4/20/12
Six days after he promises to ship I send text asking when my stuff is due.*
I figure my package should have arrived by now.*
Kenny says he didn't ship. Reason: vague, life problems, sick father, knife is scratched. *
There is no communication or update from Kenny on why it's not shipping until I ask on 4/20. Even after I inquire he is vague as to why.*
Kenny makes various excuses that all follow the same story/pattern of when he did this to another member. Look around and you will see this is a pattern and his excuses are the same.*
I tell Kenny to ship my stuff and decline an offer for a refund. Kenny hems and haws between being nice and stand offish. He wants me to call him and calls me several times, I do not answer. I tell him there is nothing to discuss and to send my stuff. *We have previously communicated mostly via text *(his request) and then suddenly claims I'm "not communicating." He begs me to call and tries to bribe me with trinkets. He also threatens to end the deal if I don't *call. All very classy and professional business practices, right?
*After a 30 minute lull (30 minutes!) in texting (work phone call) and two unanswered calls he deems me "uncooperative" and refunds my money knowing I do not want a refund and without my consent.*
He calls me insensitive when I don't respond to his sick dad excuses. Sorry Kenny, it is none of my business and should have no impact on our deal. (Kenny you fail to acknowledge that I previously expressed sympathy during a casual text conversation we had earlier.)*
So Kenny you claim you can't ship cause your dad is sick. On 4/20 there is a positive feedback from another BF member. This shows you were doing business during the time your dad was sick *and making you unable to ship my paid for products. Hmmmmm....
When I began contact with Kenny he begged for positive feedback before we even had a deal. He was open about past indiscretions and swore he changed his ways. He offered extras for good feedback. I let him know I would post honest feedback upon completion of the deal. I posted some nice comments in his profile that at the time I thought to be true. Throughout the transaction he repeatedly mentions how he sells this same knife to other customers for $100-$200 more than what I'm getting it for. He repeatedly mentions this.*
He was very also very adamant that I mention him "educating me" on Snody products.*
Look at his one positive feedback and you will see the same theme.*
Kenny you told me a lot of things about Mike Snody and his products. Some good and some very negative things (did I mention it's all documented in texts?)
Remember that Kenny? Do you still want to cry?
I would recommend you avoid this mall ninja knife fanboi at all costs. He is young and very immature. Not to be confused with being pigeon holed for being immature because he is young. That's different and not the case here.*
Kenny has no idea how to run a business or how to treat people with respect.*
He has a desperate need for approval and is very concerned about his image as a dealer on this forum. I have never seen a direct endorsement from any maker for Kenny and his so called business.*
I saw a previous post where Kenny describes himself as a collector of Snody products not a dealer.*
Kenny was also previously banned here under the screen name slicepie. Don't know the details or how he got back in. I found this out after I sent payment and thought I'd mention it for the sake of other members.
In summary, Kenny you over promised and did not deliver *a week after I paid in full. You didn't contact me to tell me this, I had to ask. You then backed out and tried to make me look like the bad guy. You did the exact same thing to another member here. I should have known better. Talking with you was annoying and painful because you say "dude" and "bro" every other word. I did not want/need to hear any more of your drama and excuses. In addition to being pissed (which I told you) that's why I didn't and still don't want to talk to you. You are not important enough for me to tolerate that stuff again. Your business ethics are nonexistent and it is no wonder you are failing.
I will now wait for your predictable, defensive and *excuse laden response.*
You will tell me your dad is sick and try to take shots at me for being insensitive to something that is none of my business. When that doesn't work you will say I was uncooperative even though I paid in full and you didn't ship twice and failed to contact me. You will fabricate another excuse. You will say everything except the truth. **
Texts tell all Kenny.*
