So I bought the knife in the listing below. You know the one thats says “Purchased from Recon1 and has sat in its box ever since. Never cut or carried. ”



Anyway said knife shows up today with an obvious scratch and light snail trails and well worn ano on the thumb studs. Sat in the box? Anyway I contacted Axle77 Axle77 about these issues and ask to either return the knife of have a partial refund to bring the price inline with the knifes true condition. During that exchange he mentions that it was played with a bit and had just returned from CRK?! Just sat in the box?
Anyway he refuses to work with me so I thought you all should know not to work with him.

Lots of you know me from my previous account(s) and know I have bought and sold here many many times going back to 2015 and this is the first bad feedback I have ever left.

Ive attached the pics of the knife and our conversation

Who the heck sends it to CRK for a "once over" before selling? Seems like pure deception.
 
The knife doesn’t look like it just got back from CRK.
You should be able to return the knife if you’re not happy with it.
If you funded through a credit card, you can try doing a chargeback.
There may be a way to lighten or remove those marks If you can’t return or get credit.
Overall, the knife doesn’t look too bad.
 
What a kick in the nuts. Appreciate the heads up about a flipper that misrepresents what he’s selling, his lack of caring shows what he’s all about.
 
Clay, how did you pay? If F&F, did you use a credit card?


Axle77 Axle77 you've got some explaining to do. Why would a knife that sat in its box and was never carried nor used have to be returned to CRK?
If you care about your membership here...it is critical that we hear from you and that you work with the buyer to resolve this problem.
 
That sucks.

A deal isn't finished until both parties are satisfied. Sorry you got scammed on the condition like that, man.
 
Sorry to read this my friend. A knife that “sat in it’s box” shouldn’t look like that.

Hopefully we hear from the seller. I’ll reserve my judgement till then.

Good morning and thanks for taking up the cause.
Yes I could file a charge back on my CC if needed. I would rather not as my CC company did nothing wrong, guess I’m old school like that.

I admit I got lax on this one after so very many perfect transactions here on BF with so many really great people.

I don’t expect I’ll see my money back and I’ll just put the knife into service, take a loss or give it to kids, but this was brought up just to warn others.

This community has treated me real well for a long time and I hate the see this kinda stuff happen here.

Honestly at the end of the day I have a lightly used CRK L31 that is perfectly serviceable, it’s just the principle that’s stuck in my craw.

Sent a PM, he doesn’t feel like he’s done anything wrong… won’t do a return or refund.

After I take care of some personal business he will be banned from the forums.
