Bends , really I have the email you sent me. You didn't know how to handle it so you did nothing and ignored Cal. That is pathetic and I stand by my assumption and the fact you weren't so bothered and under distress that you could still try and make another trade deal. Please I have a 17 year old son and I Know BS. Luckily he has learned not to bother playing that game. You sir tried IMHO to wait it out and see where it went. You lose. Cal wasn't going to be your rug.

Cal if you did accidentally only send 2 knives I would expect you to be honest and tell the truth. People make mistakes. I would have never actually tied Brandon to a stake at the point of a pitchfork. Maybe just ran him out of town.

Bends , Magnumb's logic in his third paragraph makes as much sense as yours. If someone is doing their part and they get irritated because you can't live up to yours for whatever reason. It doesn't entitle you to change any of the agreement or your motivation to fulfill it. Your lame and so are your excuses.

Bends why should he have to wait a few more days for you to ship?. Just pathetic. Really In toll it will be a month.
when did you fly back from Kansas to NY. When did you arrive?. Curious. 1 week 2 weeks ago. Lets see weights on the boxes and receipts. I will apologize and gladly say how wrong I was for thinking I had even a right to an opinion. Oh wait you have a right to be a lame individual but my lack of good judgement doesn't afford me the same right to make mistakes.Ridiculous argument. IMHO

To add your bad choices and me commenting in no way make me feel good idiot. I actually feel bad this crap goes on. IF you don't get it your ,well . What I supposed. I'd much rather be trading and selling knives or better yet making them. I happen to feel a sense of commitment to helping forge a better community. Not turning a blind eye and just enjoying the fruits of others efforts.

If you need a moderator to join in here, posting the request in the middle of the thread is not the best way to ask. Neither is writing to one specific moderator.

Instead, go to the small black triangle in the lower left corner of a post, the Report Post icon, and tell us what the problem is. That way, all the mods can see it. If one of the members had not done this, I wouldn't have looked in.

Please be careful about over-enthusiasm leading you to email someone in the middle of a difficult situation. It is very easy to say the wrong thing.
 
Being local to Mr Endsley, I was going to offer my assistance in getting the knives shipped to calemerson; but, with the new claim that there was a knife missing, I think it best that I not jump into the middle of this. If that gets resolved, and I can help in any way - please let me know.
 
email removed from me and the other party

This is his reply to my second post which like I will say later. I regret. This crap doesn't deserve my time and both parties are vague about a lot of things.

Magnumb was right in some / edit all/ of his post.

Bends and Calemerson, To be truthful you both have broken the rules of the trade section. At this point I wouldn't do business with either.

other party you didn't have the membership to trade there. Its been a rule since 10/6/13 so how many times have you broken them.


Cal , you shouldn't be making trades with someone who violates the rules. They are there to protect the community from bad behavior. Its obvious when someone is willing to skirt those rules they will eventually affect you too. You have been quiet and I don't feel , forthcoming as you should be about this transaction. My mistake for letting my emotions affect my original post.

I should have stayed out and let a mod handle this. Cal should have went to a MOD at the beginning. I should have advised him before opening my mouth. I can be as humble as I like. Its not hard to admit my mistakes. I care about my own growth as a human being.

I'm am done with this now. If you have a personal comment to make to me or about me PM email post it. I don't care. I don't have trouble coming up with responses to people. I just have to sometimes retract my response.

If the mods feel my behavior deserves an infraction. I will take my medicine. I'm a big boy, I like to think a man. I am not out to malign anyone to benefit myself. I don't self promote , I don't try and manipulate for personal gain.

I thought any member is allowed to trade or buy with an OP, but have to have a paid subscription to make a new post. Am I wrong?

'Magnumb was right in some of his post.'


I wasn't looking to be right or wrong in my one previous post, nor was I taking sides. My intent was to merely point out the fact that there wasn't nearly enough information to pass judgement on either party given what the OP contained. In rereading the post that spawned this thread, I continue to believe that my initial assertion was well founded. There simply wasn't enough specific information to draw conclusions, especially conclusions that quickly snowballed into one specific post that seemed about as self righteous as I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

I take exception to the fact that you state that only part of my iniitial post was 'right', as if to place blame on either party was ever my goal. I thought that my post was much clearer than that and to insinuate otherwise by attempting to point out untrue facts as to my intentions, is reaching for something that may satisfy your own needs and desires, but does little, if anything, to convince me (or perhaps any other's) that you're somehow duty bound to be BF's 'Hall Monitor' of ethical behavior and moral terpitude.

Lighten up a bit...........no one's perfect, not all such circumstances are either evil nor premeditated, not all posts that don't embrace your own conclusions are wrong nor are they posted to be just contentious.

We all hope that this situation gets resolved.......why wouldn't we...? Unless, of course, it would help to justify one's untenable, premature, unsolicited opinion and position.

Bottomline........I hope that this situation rights itself in the very near future and there are lessons now learned that we need not repeat. Also, we are all adults here and we know right from wrong and if we lack the integrity to act as both responsible members here and in society as a whole, no amount of preaching from one's own self assigned pulpit is going to change that. A 'heads-up' here or there.....no big deal. But the downright talking down to fellow members is about as effective as having your wife/girlfriend take 2 birth control pills each night thinking that it might then somehow be twice as effective. It doesn't work............no matter what you say your intentions aren't, in doing so..

I apologize to the forum. I will stay out of it and if my actions made the transaction or resolution to this final result worse I apologize to Cal and other party. It won't happen again. Its obvious this really was just a miscommunication on their part and not my business even if made public..
I also was wrong on forum rules , just paid members can post anyone can respond.


Magnumb , Ill take your advice. thanks 2/24/13 I took it and feel a weight lifted off

It wasn't a misunderstanding! Its pure and simple theft. I sent him the 3 knives, and he is keeping the one and only he wanted. I originally got it from him in a trade and he emailed and ask if he could get it back in trade when I listed it for trade, and I said absolutely.
I double checked tonight and he was sent all 3 knives.
Theft is theft, but you can call it a misunderstanding if you want. This forum is getting to be a joke for bad trades and theft lately, kind of like watch u seek.
Thanks

I'm inclined to believe the OP here, simply because the other party is exhibiting the same patterns that other scam artists exhibit, although it was a little suspicious that he didn't immediately reply to the allegations that there was only 2 knives, that could have been because he wanted to check and make sure he didn't have the third knife in his possession. I assume the post office can verify the weights of both packages, so the truthful party can gather the evidence if needed - you just better get to it because the USPS doesn't keep that information indefinitely.
 
Cal,
The knife you're referring to is the BHK Bushcrafter, and you're correct that is the only knife I really wanted. The other two would have been used for trading. Where you're wrong is the Bushcrafter was in the box and will be sent back to you. I wish this had all happened differently, but I hold no ill will towards you. I have nothing more to say on this matter. The knives you sent to me will be sent back to you.
 
For the sake of clarity why don't you both list the knives that were sent/received.
 
Scandi bushcrafter listed in my trade thread
Bone trapper (I think it was the May special) D2 steel appaloosa colored handle scales neck sheath
Snap Knap ( one of the small ones in the JRE leather key chain sheath) down inside the bushcrafter sheath
All are Blind Horse models before they parted ways.
Thanks
Calemerson
