Can anyone clarify the policy on listing multiples of the same knife in sales threads that are under two weeks apart? Specifically, if I have two of the same knife, one is a user (though in great condition) and one is NIB, am I able to post the NIB knife for sale and then a week later post the user for sale? I recently did this and had my second for sale post removed, because the mods incorrectly determined it was the same knife. Would it be sufficient to explicitly state that the second knife is a different knife? Or, given that at first glance it's hard to distinguish between the two, this is something that would be frowned upon and always get flagged? I get that this would be a violation if they were both NIB, but given that one is NIB and one a user, this seems to be a bit of a gray area ... though maybe just best to avoid that gray area in the future.
 
You can sell two different knives of the same type or model within a two week span on different days, (24 hour separation minimum), but it's up to you differentiate between each of them so that members and staff do not have to waste time investigating.

Make sure you use different images for each thread, and, if applicable, provide images and info that make clear they are different.

There is no gray area. Different knives on different days are okay. If they appear similar, it is up to you to ensure that sufficient info is provided to tell the difference. (Such as two separate sales receipts, serial numbers, marks, blemishes or other identifying info.)
