Please remember to put Conus ONLY in your thread if you are giving preference to CONUS. Recently someone did not, another buyer said they will take it, and then preference was given to Conus for the second I'll take. THAT REALLY SUCKS!

All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick! The rules for The Exchange can be found here. Please read and follow them. Stop using Paypal Friends & Family and follow our best practices to prevent getting ripped off or having a bad deal.

I had this happen as the seller. I initially tolder the potential buyer no, but I had not posted the exclusion. He had good references and we came to an agreement.
I agree that it should be be stated up front.
I would also like to mention, as we are on the topic, that I have had positive experiences with deals in Australia and Israel.

Hey, guys.
In my opinion, it would really help everyone out if you listed your location in the location part of your profile.
You don't even have to type in your city, but country of origin would be nice.
Thanks.

Nothing wrong with making a suggestion, but Bladeforums does not require members to make public any information they don't choose to make public.
+1 on mentioning country. Two different times I've wasted lots of time negotiating price and/or partial trades on knives that I listed as CONUS and "verified" paypal payment only to find that the potential buyer was Euro, wanted to pay by CC paypal, and expected me to phony up the paperwork to save import duties.

as a buyer I prefer those words:
"I'll take it if you'll ship it to Canada"
Irezumi - once payment made with PP, you can't just "cancel" it.
You have to file a claim with PP. If you use your CC for payment - you can file 2 claims, one with PP, one with CC

+1 on posting where you are from in your profile. I don't have anything against shipping outside the US, but sometimes I reach an agreement on price, shipping, etc only to find hours after that I'm looking at shipping internationally. Then I have to go through more emails to re-negotiate shipping costs, or re-post that the knife is now available again, etc. Takes the wind out of my sails!
