Absolutely agree. Hope it's not so but as you said, just too much going on here. It's really not hard to see either. People just get caught up in the want and the price.The sheer volume of red flags, the lack of forthcoming photos of the knife, the need for immediate money yet no response to the post for several days and the paypal hold on his account, coupled with a newly joined member with no feedback and under 50 posts and all post history in the exchange makes this an extremely high high risk purchase. If this knife was actually sold, i fully expect to see a GBU thread in the coming weeks.
I actually paid for this knife (good and services) and was told there was a “hold on the funds for a week.” I demanded and received a refund immediately. But no one is selling even used infidels for under $225. When asked to show photos of the rear of the knife the photo was in the closed position and with a different background as the open position.
Am I saying this guy is trying to pull a scam? No. Am i advising using extreme caution in this case? Yes 100%.
Hopefully the buyer took the proper precautions and will get a great knife at an excellent price but my gut feeling tells me otherwise and I feel like I dodged a bullet here.
