Bad Be Careful @mpearson

I am with others on the "restocking fee" now I personally might deduct shipping cost and state that I would refund minus the initial shipping cost and mostly because I am not a business setup to absorb things like freight costs in 1/100 items sold in fact I don't sell anywhere near 100 items a year of any type combined or at least averaged out.
 
I don't see where the seller said that knife was never carried or LNIB. There was a question by someone at the end of the thread, but It's possible he (the seller ) commented on the second knife in the thread - not this one. Perhaps as a buyer you could have asked a few more Qs. Seller should have said something about the box though when asked. Also, if the seller offered $40 refund and you did say OK - he should send you the money. I'd say the issue here is 20% buyer and 80% seller. Restocking fee is quite interesting. I am not sure I would have started a thread on this one, but I don't see a reason someone should not. I am left with a not so positive impression of the seller here at this time.
 
I agree with Gastonknife Gastonknife above.

Asking a stocking fee by the seller sounds ridiculous; a shipping fee could be discussed. But nagging on an imperfect factory box of a $100ish knife by the buyer sounds to me the guy has too much spare time. The knife looks in great condition to me.

How much is this knife sold by dealers? I can't find this model by WE.

It's a Kizer Begleiter...about $170 for titanium.

He said that it was unused and that he had just carried it around the house and installed Skiff bearings. In the post, he says the first knife has had Skiff bearings installed. The second knife does not say that.

To me, it's clear that he was talking about the Begleiter being unused... Which is obviously false if you look at the pictures. Setting the damaged box issue aside (which is something that wouldn't bother me), I'd be pissed if someone sold me a knife and misrepresented it as unused. Another for the ignore list I suppose. Go back to Reddit M mpearson .

You are literally repeating the seller’s argument. That the value of the knife determines whether the seller can get away with misrepresenting it. Honesty should not have price tag.

The knife is a Keizer not a WE, my mistake. Also it is $169 full price. May I ask, what is the price threshold after which you think it is justified to complain about bad service and misrepresentation? And, do you think someone who offered $40 partial refund (or $40 restocking fee) would have done it if he didn’t know he did something wrong?

Out of curiosity I looked at the sellers original listing and in his response to the person asking about the begleiter he said he didnt carry it. He is either lying, stored it on the floor, or his home is insanely dusty. You can see in his photos the dust though. Last I looked he hadn't logged in on BF since Saturday, hopefully he gets back to you and makes you whole on his promise of the partial refund. You'd be surprised how many people would offer the partial refund because they need the money at that moment and already spent what you sent them.

I missed that part about the bearings. It does appear that the seller was referring to the Begleiter, not the second knife.
With that being the case this is all on the seller and I agree the knife was misrepresented.
My apologies to the OP and I hope you get the $40 that was agreed.
 
Looks like M mpearson has not been on BF since April 2, at least not while logged in. Avoiding this thread on purpose? I was waiting for his response, but now going on the ignore list....
