Thing is was MY knife.


It's the repetitive nature that makes it more of a problem than just selling a knife and then welching comeandtakeit.

You should read through this thread again and see why this type of behavior bothers people. Maybe take a little break from the exchange too.

You've been a member less then a year and you've had more then one of these threads started about you. Don't you find that a little bit strange?

In the 1 yr I've been a member I've been twice as active as you have in 4 yrs. So yeah when you're coming in contact with a lot more ppl the chances are a lot higher that eventually you're going to come across ppl you don't like or agree with.
 
'Comeandgetit' seems much more appropriate given this and another recent thread describing like circumstances.

How is it that so many more members with many more transactions have had either zero transactional issues or the ocassional one which oftentimes ends up either a true misunderstanding, a logistical/unintentional issue or even the rare time when it is obvious that someone was being deceitful......quite intentionally. The latter being quite rare.

Two threads in a matter of days clearly displaying actions not embraced by the vast majority (IMHO) of BF members nor likely even allowed under forum rules, is 2 threads more than many members have ever had with much more time here as members and with considerbly more transactions. These 2 most recent threads are likely much larger in number, but I can't honestly speak to that. It would not surprise me however, to find many other members not so keen on doing business with you going forward.

In all honesty, the thread a few days ago sealed that deal for me. Today's was just the proverbial 'nail in the coffin'.

Treat people respectfully and be as honorable as your advertised background would suggest. I, for one, have never taken 'Semper Fi' for granted and I try not to as no one is perfect, but when $ and not substance seems to be the 'end all', you've made a choice unbecoming of anyone, much less that of a patriot.

Be nice, play fair and expect that others will do the same.
 
I see one good thing in this story. . . . at least a full refund was given. However each party made mistakes.

1. comeandtakeit said his knife was LNIB when it was showing obvious wear.
2. colubrid made a deal without looking at pictures first.
3. colubrid seems to have threatened comeandtakeit with bad publicity if a 10-20 dollar discount wasn't given
4. it became a pissing contest and both parties forgot that bladeforums is a community of hobbiests not a used car dealership.
5. there are apparently other threads about comeandtakeit but only one negative feedback score. How did that happen?

Here we are. Yeah I'm the real a-hole here.

BAM! You are misrepresenting the truth again!

I never NEVER EVER threatened you to post anything until AFTER you refunded the money and told me you sold it. That is when I threatened you to send me my knife or I will post a bad guy thread on you. Emails will attest to this. Your emails which you posted here in the wrong order is misrepresented and is what you are hoping people will buy into. Fortunatly there are only a handful of people on this forum that advance their own personal agenda through deliberate misinformation. So there is only a very few like you that we have about these forums.

Based on these presentation of facts , it is amazing that you would have the nerve to allude to such a thing.

Wrong WRONG WRONG! I never NEVER EVER threatened comeandtakeit with bad publicity for a $10-$20 dollar discount.. never happened! I did however threaten him AFTER he withdrew funds! But ONLY AFTER he did that. Again- I never threatened him beforehand by trying to get a refund of $10.

I copy and pasted minus your personal info straight from my sent box. Top email is my response to your bottom email. Not hard to understand.

Isn't it supposed to be black?

Can you send a pic of lockup?



Thanks

Oh and your Paypal address please.

Also I am leaving for work so if you don't get back I will fund tomorrow.


Email sent with pics. Lockup and centering are perfect.
Knife has been carried a few times but never cut anything. Other than the wear on the pivot the knife is in new condition.

Corey,

if you don't sell me the knife after you agreed to the $10 because the knife was not as described when I saw the pics I will take it to the proper forum with attached emails.

I don't appreciate you selling it after we had a deal to someone else after you and I agreed. You didn't have to agree in the first place. Instead you just refunded the money and I sent the proper amount.. and now I see a another user edited his post which won't reflect well on your future sales.

Their will be a thread and we can hash it out there if you do not make this right.

Rainer

Lol...you actually sold the knife to the OP,agreed to refund him a small amount for the fact that you misrepresented the condition, and then reneged on that and refunded him entirely so you could sell said knife to another poor schnook for an additional $10 dollars.... That's about it eh....


Next you will try to impress upon us that you are an upstanding guy (evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) because you are a Iraqi war veteran or because you are a dad.......integrity is not something you talk about , it is something that you demonstrate...all the time.

Good luck with that

Yep! You summed it up better than I could.

Also he is now digging a deeper hole with his misrepresention that I threatened him to refund me $10 or I will post a bad guy thread. LOL! Can you imagine anyone doing anything so stupid.. much less to suggest that someone did! HA HA HA HA!

I apologize for editing your post. I meant to quote you and hit the wrong darn button.

I believe his "wishes" were to purchase an accurately described knife. When that turned out to not to be the case, you made the decision for him how things were going to go.

That's brilliant logic if that was the case then how come the most active members don't have tons of these threads started about them?

I have no problem completing a good deal. I've got over 60 positive transactions with 13 of them happening in the past month. Ppl make threads like this because they know the group think is strong around here. One person says something negative and instead of looking at the whole story everyone likes to chime in. Don't be so gullible.

The funny thing I see with all of this is not one member you have dealt with comes to your defense in either one of your "welcher" threads... You come across as very arrogant. I know I wouldn't ever consider doing business with you. I don't think anyone would want to if they saw your behavior in these threads. Good luck to anyone who decides to deal with this guy.

It is beginning to look like this is a wasted effort on comeandtakeit as he cannot or has chosen not to hear the truth in this or past matters.

Since he seem to not have the ability to follow the unwritten ethics code of this forum perhapes he should not take part here anymore and cut his losses and move on.

A rep is earned not given and comeandtakeit rep has a lot of damage done by his own hand and actions.

You can make your point without the name calling. No more.
 
Interesting thread, it seems to have developed into how to convince comeandtakeit to change his behavior when he doesn't think he is behaving badly. To me it comes down to how do you want to be seen in the future in the knife community? Problem transactions happen, do you acknowledge your part and resolve it or become defensive and assume all the blame should be directed to the other party?

In my opinion there was very poor communication from both parties. I think both guys need to work on that. Reading your emails and posts is challenging as there is a lack of clear, neutral communication. There is a ton of misunderstanding and assumptions however.

comeandtakeit what can you do now to make this better? In my opinion what you are doing is not making the situation better.

colubrid what are you trying to accomplish? I believe you got treated poorly, most people reading probably agree. Buyers taking the time to search the forum or internet are going to see this thread and the others. I think comeandtakeit will have a harder time selling his stuff in the future. What else are you expecting?
 
Colubrid, thanks for giving everyone a heads up on your deal gone bad.
It seems as if comeandtakit is making a bad name for himself and his words in this thread as well as others shows that he is not particularly interested in being a stand up guy.
I added his name to my ignore list so hopefully I wont even see his threads.

All the bragging about positive feedback becomes meaningless when you have two hate threads started against you in a week, so hopefully more people will become aware of this guy's bad behavior.

Dude, I think its a question of simple etiquette. I mean, its your right to deal with or not deal with whomever you want. I've certainly cancelled deals when I had a bad feeling about someone or if they were a pain in the a$$.

Here's the key thing though: you need to communicate it to the other party. Otherwise, they think everything is good and you're moving forward. The end result is threads like this one. Clearly, there isn't much of a material harm done BUT its extremely annoying.
