It was never your knife, and no you don't have the right to know who has it.

Sorry this happened, but you really need to forget about the knife at this point, and worry about the refund only.

Hopefully the money will be in your account today.




Thats what I'm starting to think.

Listen, I already forgot about the knife. What I posted last night was late and I had just found out. I didn't think I would get my money back and so far I still hav'nt.

But I retract the "knife is mine" rampage I went on for an hour last night. I already agreed with the other posters who set me straight yesterday evening.


You need to look at time stamps on these posts :thumbup:

"Listen" :confused: I can't hear you, so I'll have to read instead :p

I did look at the time stamps.
I didn't see a retraction. Sorry if I missed it.

Hope the refund shows up in your PP account today :thumbup:
Good luck.
 
If it where me I would be in contact with Paypal and find out why it just shows pending and not paid. It is your responsibility to see that the OP gets his money back. It is your account. You insisting it's between Paypal and the OP is ridiculous.

Agree with this statement 100%. If comentakeit cared at all he would be on the phone with Paypal, and not on the forum, until the refund is settled.
 
Comeandtakeit is obviously an unscrupulous seller, and probably shouldn't be allowed to keep selling since this is becoming a regular occurrence - on the other hand, the people complaining never have such strong ground for complaints like they think they do. He just refunds your money and finds another sucker when you don't follow his guidelines. How this thread originally started is out of place, and OP's line of thinking was clear with gems like "where will I find this knife for $150 again?". If it's that good of a deal, why worry about the pivot? When everyone is trying to swindle everyone, there will always be a lot of this. Sometimes you need to cut out an infection to save the rest of your body though.

I'm sure there are a lot of good traders here, but the riff raff comes out in spades. I wouldn't want to buy off this guy, but I would hate to be the selling party to almost all of the people that have filed complaints against him. "I have been down this road before" translates to "I know what I can get away with and I don't care about scruples as long as I don't get banned from selling".

Agree. He needs to be doing all he can to figure out why PP is holding up the refund.
 
Yes, come and take it........ If you really did care about doing the right thing - you would make sure the OP gets a refund - like now. There is no reason you could not send him one from your "other" PP account that works. Your "it's between you and PP" stance is bogus and speaks volumes about you. And OP, glad to see you have come down from the tirade yesterday about who has "your" knife. Hope you get your $$ back from this turd.

I think you misread one of my posts because I posted that is was comeandtakit that said "I have been down this road before" . Not me. I just posted that he said that in the last email to me.

I guess this thread is a long winded and needs to end before others get misled. These forums can become a double edged sword. Even the base of all rumors can all of a sudden become a matter of debate.
 
Average price of a Gentleman Jim is $220.00 a new pivot screw is 6 bucks, one might would of been better off to get the knife for 140.00 and replace the pivot rather than want more money off , but that is neither here nor there. After reading this thread I agree Gaston knife, at first I was 100% against comeandtakeit and thought really again, but after reading it again, He did have the knife up for a very fair price, and the OP kept wanting money off, he states after the OP kept complaining he issued a refund, and To be honest I would of probably done the same thing If someone kept finding flaws in something I had for sale and kept wanting more money off Comeandtakeit might of thought he was gonna get ripped so he did what he did. HOWEVER The OP is out of his money and It is comeandtakeits responsibility to get it back to him NOT Paypals of course one can call Paypal, provide them some proof and Paypal will force the refund , or give you a refund and comeandtakeit will just have a negative balance...

You should read the trhead and not be conufsed with comeandgetit version alone. I never complained until after he said he refunded the money with no notice to me. otherwise he knocked $10 off and there were no threats to post a bad guy thread. I just said that he advertised it as LNIB and I expected LNIB.

The exchange has good prices and are not to be compared to retail.


I sold tons of knives in the past year alone that were LNIB on this site that were less below retail than what he sold his Gentleman Jim for.
If you want to sell knives here quick I have to knock off an additional $20 from what I paid for it on here . It is worth it for me just to try the knives out and get my money back. This is a hobby not a business and I look at other peoples sales ads the same way.



But misrepresenting is just that. Just be honest in your description and then there won't be any mix ups. Again this is on the seller to represent the knives honestly.

Anyway, this thread was over and closed a couple weeks ago. Only reason it is open again is because I don't have money back in my account.

and in hindsight ..if I would have known what comeandtakeit was like I would have just taken the knife for the measly $10 more and ordered a new pivot screw. You are right. problem is I didn't know and he welched..

twice.

I just didn't know who I was dealing with and I have done hundred of deals here with zero problems and smooth quick transactions with excellent comminications.

Someone mentioned it before.. it comes down to commuinicate effectively. Problem is we don't always know (or even see) who is at the keyboard.

No, I am perfectly clear who said what. You're the one that was about ready to send a bounty hunter after a knife you never owned. I was referring to Comeandtakeit when I mentioned "I have been down this road before", it is attributed to him more than once in this thread.

It is a long thread. I read the first page a few days ago, and was thoroughly confused when I first came up on page 6 yesterday, but it was easy enough to straighten out after a little bit of reading (and the help of a few onlookers that combined and cleared up the string of events in their posts). I think you were done wrong OP, but not wrong enough to warrant the public thread initially. I think Comeandtakeit should be assisting with the refund as is, but you did send it to the wrong e-mail, and were trying to force the sale on your terms (I wouldn't have thought that initially, and Comeandtakeit doesn't have good enough communication skills to convey what his frustration stemmed from, but you cleared that up for us on the last page). I hope you see your own error in this as well, otherwise it wasn't worth anything for you, and I hope you get refunded soon or it will become an actual cost.

Anyone ever confirm that Comeandtakeit's Yahoo account is in good standing? If there was a balance due, it could have caused this problem. Comeandtakeit needs to get actively involved, and if he wants absolution, take screen shots of what is displayed on your accounts!
 
Well I respectfully disagree with your speculation. And you are not perfectly clear except on the point that I wanted my knife if payment was not done. which it hasn't since the 12th. Also, I already explained in an earlier post that was late last night when I discovered this non payment. So yes, I was upset and retracted those statements this morning.

As far as payment. I am checking my paypal account today and will place a post after it has been funded. Hopefully that is what will happen.. I hope.

I did send it to the wrong email. but it was an honest mistake..

When I made the first payment it was the same email address name . Same email name but different email account (put same name here)@Gmail. The second refund was to his email name (which looked indentical at first glance) (put same name here)@Yahoo.com. Even Paypal took some time trying to figure this out as they did not catch that either and I was on the phone for an hour with them researching before fuinally someone caught the similar emails . And they were staring the whole time at both transcations and couldn't figure it out for a while what happened. The same happened when I made the second payment. just didn't see one was Yahoo and the other Gmail.

If it was non-existent Paypal account then there would be no problem and my funds would have been returned. But he does have a Paypal account under the same name under both Gmail and yahoo- one of which is the email he used to respond to me with. So it was an honest mistake (and one that with anyone else could have been easily rectified) because if it was a non valid account the funds would be returned or just sitting in limbo. As it turns out both emails DO have paypal accounts and they are his same name. So yes it was a slight oversight on my part..

I did read the thread, I posted when comeandtakeit started his I'm a vet stuff, that he should conduct himself in a higher standard than what he is , by being a Vet. I am simply stating some facts, for example , the price of a GJ , The price of a pivot screw, etc. I was also stating my opinion about him refunding you , I'm by no means on comeandtakeit's side, He owes you some cash and needs to pay up. I was simply stating If I were in the middle of a transaction and someone kept finding problems with my knife rather than send it to them , and run the risk of being out of your knife and eventually cash(not saying you would do that by the way), I stated that maybe he felt like he was going to get ripped off so he gave you a refund. My opinion is invalid in this conversation, The facts are your out of money and you deserve it back , now you can either get it back by comeandtakeit giving it you , or take it to Paypal , provide them with the evidence needed to win your claim and get your money back. I was in no way defending anyone, I was only looking at things from a different point of view...

Understood. Thanks!
 
Maybe I'm misunderstanding how PP works with with refunds but here's how it looks to me. The yahoo account to where they money was sent is account old, but it's still active. A refund was sent, but they funds were no longer in that account. Otherwise, the refund would have been instant, and it wouldn't have been sent via e-check. Therefore, the money wasn't there to be refunded.

So either:

a) the funds were deposited.
b) the funds were spent.
c) the funds were transferred to his other PP account.

If the case is a, which I doubt, only an insufficient bank account balance should cause it to delay. Unless, of course, that bank account is no longer active, in which case the e-check will NEVER go through, and a refund should be made by his other PP account, or sent as a money order by registered mail. It is NOT between PP and colubrid if the money is coming from a deficient or inactive bank account.
 
To many folks here trying to make a buck off a knife trade/sale. Its almost turned a hobby into work.


Its a hobby I don't make money off it. Other folks sure try. They have taken the fun out of it.

If your intent is to make money, it is work.
If you buy/sell/trade knives to "make a buck" you would fit the definition of a dealer as I understand the rules on this forum.
If I read too much into your post, I apologize.

Just a friendly reminder - You might be a dealer if...
... you buy knives with the express purpose to turn around and resell them at a profit, on a regular basis, then you just might be a dealer.
