Hi Dutch, I'm sort of new here, too, but this is what's happening: VoxHog likely sent a private message and Hank says he sent an email to the seller offering full asking price for the knives. They are the buyers. If your offer had been accepted, the seller would have let you know. You're right, SPF means Sold Pending Funding. The buyer has agreed to buy but the seller hasn't yet received the cash. If you really want one of the knives for sale, be the first one to post a reply saying "I'll take the XXX", then work out the details of how you'll get the fund to the seller. (If you aren't first, post a reply saying something like "Second on the XXX if the first deal falls through." Sometimes people change their minds between the time they committed to buying it and delivering the money and the knife is suddenly available... being second gives you next shot at it. Hang around, Dutch, and you'll get the drift of this.... don't worry about missing this deal - there will be another along any minute; just be patient. Also, it is my feeling that making a low-ball offer right out of the chute is bad form here... better to send a counter offer in a private message. Good luck, Dutch.
