Blade Auction Support, Totally Worthless

Hmmm, stay out. Don't attempt change. Do not bring problems to the forefront to be resolved. Turn tail and run. Listen to the pain caused by ineptitude and do not seek the help of others in order to make something with potential better than it is.

Great advice guys, appreciate it....

Look, you yourself said that you wasted your time trying to contact them. What is it that you don't understand about , "Stay away!" ????? :confused:

Sounds like you like self flagellation. :rolleyes: You have been given some good advice, what you do with it is up to you. If you want to play 'Mother Teresa' and spend time trying to straighten out BA and Josh, knock yerself out and good luck! :p

By the way, the 'potential' you refer to has been there for several years but they need someone like you to bring it out..... ;)
 
There comes a point when most people recognize something is not worth the time. When you look at the history of bladeauction, who runs it, who sells stuff on it, what kind of stuff gets sold on it mostly, your own personal experience, any normal person would say why bother?

You're not out money, just some aggravation, you learned a lesson, we learned it too. If you want to somehow try to improve blade auctions go ahead. We think you're wasting your time.
 
I tried to open a sellers acct there once. I was going to sell some of knives that I didn't want/use anymore. I gave all my info including my Credit Card# and never heard from them again. I waited for the confirmation email that never came. I e-mailed support 3 times to see what was going on and got nothing back. So I decided the heck with them, I'll never do business with them again. I'm pretty much anal about that kind of thing. Once I decide I won't do business with someone, that's it, no matter what. It would matter if they where giving away free Spyderco just for logging on to thier website. I'll go else where and buy it.
Whoa, I'm starting to get carried away here. So I'll just end by saying "No more BladeAuction for me"
 
With all this wonderful advice I make three assumptions:
The responders have all had bad experiences with Blade auction, they have all tried to make Blade Auction a better place (and failed), and they all no longer use it.

I look forward to reading about some of the things you all have done to attempt to make Blade auction better. Perhaps there are some ideas that might work if tried again. Even more, I look forward to reading about the other knife auction sites that offer the quantity and prices I find on Blade auction.

Yes, Blade auction has been mighty frustrating at times. The list of problems is nearly endless (almost as long as the posts saying "don't bother"). But, I myself have not found another auction site that offers the quantity, variety and prices I've found there. I have found some excellent deals and some great knives. Every knife I've bought there I gotten for way less than if I'd bought it from store. Other knife auctions I've visited don't come close. Note that my interests lie in quality production auto folders which Blade auction carries.

I read about the worse problems with Ebay but rarely do I read about people no longer dealing with them. Oh sure, there's a few but I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the majority of you all hold an active Ebay account.

The bottom line is, sure, Blade auction has problems, so does driving in a big city and Social Security. We can't (easily) change the last two but when I started this thread I actually thought we had a chance with Blade auction.

Thanks for clueing me in....JC III
 
I've heard other horror stories about blade auction. Never will go there myself. If people don't let you know that something is poorly run and provides poor service and doesn't reply, others can never be made aware.
Thanks for the reports and true... don't go there again.

Cheers,
Karis
 
The only way you are going to be able to improve Blade Auction is if you can convince Josh that there is something wrong with it. From what I have read here in the past that will be very unlikely, but who are we to say you shouldn't try.
