Good luck! Let me know what they say. I may be following suite. $1650 isn't an amount I would like loose forever.
So I have an update (No not a refund or knife), but I posted today on one of his wife's FB posts. Should I have? Probably not but dammit $2500 is a lot of money to just write off. The post was eventually removed and replaced. Not before I grabbed a screenshot of the conversation. I hated doing this but this is my last attempt at getting things put right. I wanted to share it...

This did elicit an immediate response from Chris via email, promising me a full refund ASAP. We shall see...
Poor form on multiple ends...
Maybe so, but what else am I to do? I've tried all ways of communication. Nothing has worked.
2.5k gone would hurt me too. I hope he makes it right bro. GL
Loops, I'm not sure what sort of alternate reality some people hail from but where I come from, when you're a pathological liar and thief, it's not the injured party's responsibility to spare said pathological liar/thief's family the realities of their crimes.
If you didnt want your wife and child to know you're a liar and a thief, dont lie and dont steal. You conducted yourself civilly and should be commended for that as I dont think I would possess such grace in the face of a $2,500 loss.
Spare his family the realities of his wrong doings when he showed no regard or remorse when stealing $2,500 from you and yours? That's ludicrous.
Several months ago I was going to meet up & buy a knife that was listed on a local firearm forum. Through emails, I learned it was Chris. Deal ended there. I'm sure the $ from that sale would have gone to reimbursing the customers he screwed. Dude is a tool.
Good (kind of) to see some sort of update. If you end up getting your refund, post an update. I still want mine too haha
Thank you. I really didn't understand the last person Blues Bender, I think they'd change their tune if they were in my position.
