Next time be clearer with your offer or don't put conditions with them instead of posting your frustration here :thumbdn:.
You said
"I'll take the knives if you include shipping to Australia". The sale post was for shipping included
in US and Canada only. And there was also an offer at the same time as you with no conditions and in the US and Canada. If you would have said " I'll take it" not trying to include shipping to Australia you would have gotten them. Pretty clear cut to me.
Buy a house and if the seller has 2 offers, one without conditions and another with conditions and both are at the same price. You take the one without conditions. Same thing here...pretty simple basic selling/buying principles.
