Bad Caution when dealing with Bladerunner7

So taking blame, admitting fault, openly saying how far I would go to make sure the deal was right, and yet all you hear are excuses, backpedaling, and blame shifting.

See and theres the confusion. I have said numerous times that I had planned to send the military. I was spouting off because I was pissed. I feel like people that send out knives with known defects and don't disclose them, should be accountable or at lease worry about it a bit. Yeah I shouldn't have said that but I did. It's done. I was being immature because I was upset. I felt like he was trying to take advantage of me and he would get away with it because I actually care about my feedback.

I'm late.to the party, but I want to clarify to Blade Runner 7. You essentially admitted that you were planning to screw the OP by sending the bad knife back if you couldn't fix it... Or made it worse. You don't then get to turn around and say that you had full intentions to send your end as soon as you can. At best, one of these is a blatant lie. At worst you are simply covering your butt after being called out on some clearly shady behavior.

If I trade with somebody, then they hold my knife to tinker and fix it or send it back, and admit to doing so, I'd be ready to blast the guy for this behavior everywhere that would listen. It's almost borderline fraud, damaging a knife then not disclosing this before returning.

At this point your feedback means nothing to me. Clearly you are not trustworthy, regardless of how much positive you have. I hope you get a negative feedback out of this, because your behavior is extremely deserving of that reputation to be tarnished.
 
Blade Runner7, stop digging. You're already too deep. You are doing your business and your reputation no favors, and they'll suffer.

Bottom line; If the trade is not to your satisfaction, re-pack and send back. But not before you communicate about the issue.

Fair?

^^^^ This. Bladerunner had the OP ship first. Why? So he could make sure he received the knife (in condition described) before he would complete the trade and ship his knife.

The proper course of action if he thought the OP had send him a knife with problems would be to contact the OP and either ship the knife back or ask the OP if he wants him to try to "tinker" with it first.

Why is everyone jumping on poor, put-upon Bladerunner? He's sort of apologized (not really), and made it clear that he didn't really mean it when he said:
1. He wouldn't send his end of the deal if he couldn't fix the MT;
2. If OP didn't like getting back his knife with a void warranty "too bad for him;" and
3. A warranty is only voided if one is stupid enough to be honest with the manufacturer.

Sounds like a stand-up "dude" to me! :rolleyes:

I love this thread for the psychology of it and what it teaches, not just for what it's about. Communication, behaviour, letting off steam in a forum (which always works out so well for everyone), escalating rather than de-escalating, going on the offensive, going on the defensive, my story/their story, assumption, selective hearing, attitude, respect, over-stepping what's appropriate, contact before confrontation...

And yet, next week there'll still be a new thread in GBU about all the same stuff.

Learn your lessons, otherwise you'll be the one here next time.

No, you're not getting it. It's not your knife until the deal is done! You need to be prepared to send it back if he isn't happy on his end. You were sent first because of his low transaction history compared to yours. It's not your knife until the trade is aknowledged as acceptable on both ends. I'm sure you were confident that he would like what you were trading, but it's not a done deal just because you got the knife and decided to keep it. That's only half way Sir.

Just bringing this forward in case Blade Runner 7 missed it. This is the issue, this is what you’re missing, this is what you’re failing to understand. Stop playing the victim.

Yup. You claim to be doing all those good things but all you are actually doing are those bad things you listed. I told you 4 pages ago to stop digging. Didn't listen and here we are. You've made it much worse and still don't understand the situation. Worried about feedback on a trade that didn't work out? That feedback would not have been warranted had you simply sent the knife back. If the other guy left feedback he would have been infracted heavily. Instead you have done this whole mess which is actually worthy of negative feedback. Plus, there is this whole thread which will hurt your rep even more to anyone who sees it.

Should have just sent the knife back. That is one reason you ask the other party to ship first, no? To make sure it is as described. After this mess got started, should have just apologized and sent your end of the trade, because once you take the knife apart nothing the other guy did matters. But you did neither. I hope going forward your rationality and logic improves because they have failed you greatly here.

And then there is this. And all the excuses. What a mess.
 
Same things being said over and over again.

Own your mistakes, learn from them and move on. Locking this down as a favor to Blade Runner 7 and the OP.
The OP can shoot one of the super's a message to re-open it for his end of the trade feedback.
