Crazy nicky, you have accused blastjv of being someone that fudges emails. Could you please show some proof of that? Otherwise, you should keep your accusations to yourself. From reading your responses in this thread, I doubt he fudged anything.
 
Keith, why don't YOU keep your comments to yourself especially when this as NOTHING to do with you!
 
This is a COMMUNITY, nicky. Keith has EVERY right to comment, and ask questions, as does everyone who reads this, even you.

I think that in the end, you did me a favor by backing out. I'm much less upset about that now.

So let me get this straight... :confused:
The buyer pressures/haggles the seller to lower his price. The seller who needs/wants to sell the item grudingly gives in. The buyer wants the item shipped simultaneously, the seller says "not till I'm paid". The buyer agrees to pay before shipping,,,then, the seller backs out.

Is that the story? Seems pretty clear to me.
Was the original payment method going to be something other than a check,,,maybe PayPal?
 
That's it in a nutshell.

The seller (crazy nicky) wanted a Money Order, but I (blastjv) the buyer prefered to send a personal check which he would wait to clear before sending the knife. If he couldn't trust me to ship simultaneously, then I at least wanted to be able to track the cashing of the check through my bank. This would be near impossible with a money order.

Hope that clears it up.

I didn't agree to sell to BlastJV. We talked about it and I didn't like what he offered me and I told him I was going to seek an alternative means of selling my knife and told him that he was welcome to bid on it. Then BlastJV threw a hissy fit sent me dozens of emails, posted **** about me on here and said there was an agreement made when there wasn't. Bottom line, BlastJV wanted the knife for $75 and I told him that I didn't want to sell it to him because he was hassiling me. Is it a problem that I didn't want to sell my knife to this guy when knew I could get more for it?? Don't I have the right to decide that? If I don't want to accept a personal check isn't that my preference? I usually only deal with Pay Pal and Money Orders. Why would I want to take a chance with a check bouncing? John, you seriously need to get over it. I'm sorry if you thought there was a deal when there wasn't but what can I do?
 
Bloody hell...

Nicky you are living up to your name here a bit. I mean fair enough no-one will enjoy having their 'rep' called into question, but your own responses here are causing that as much damage as anything else.

Read over. First you say:

"This guy wanted me to sell him a knife against forum rules. Which I will not do."

Four posts down from there, you then say:

"I didn't say he violated any rules! Where did I say that? He was trying to get me to violate rules which I wasn't about to do."

So in other words, according to you blastjv violated rules or wanted you to, but he didn't, but he did, but you never said that?

It is still highly unclear what "rules" you are referring to in any event. Blastjv I wouldn't waste your time trying to think of how you might have transgressed as it really doesn't seem to me as if you have. Anyway Nicky IF you mean shipping in the manner blastjv requested, there is NO rule against that. For god's sake a guy who didn't know me at all just shipped a BM Forum Knife all the way to AUSTRALIA, without any payment beforehand. In every case, it will depend on what the parties are content with and agree to - no set rules in relation to that apply.

As for this 'I'm the seller and you'll do as I say" stuff - I don't think so. A deal like this is mutual, not a one way street. In any given situation, either party may have an advantage of some kind - situations like a highly sought after knife, or a person desperate to sell for financial reasons on the other hand, and so on. In the case of a slightly used 806D2, that is pretty run of the mill stuff - neither party would be in a position of particular advantage, in the apparent circumstances. So I'd suggest a bit of easing off with the attitude.

In a similar vein, a prospective purchaser can offer whatever he/she likes. If the seller doesn't like the opening bid, he/she can either put forward a counter-proposal, or just walk away. But in ANY case, "friendly advice" (which it wasn't, clearly) along the lines of your email there, is unnecessary and just plain rude. A polite 'no thanks' is all you need say. Are you saying blastjv "fudged" this? You haven't said so, to this point. I really doubt he did.

As for Keith (and myself now I expect) 'butting out', what on earth do you think this forum is for? By the reactions of people here, others can obtain an understanding of how things SHOULD go down.

You follow?
 
For me it's pretty simple! John you have shown a pretty level headed way in all your responses, Crazy Nick you have shown a very disrespectful and negative way in your responses. John I will have no problem dealing with you in the future.crazy nick you can put me on your ignore list please!
 
I DID TELL HIM I wasn't interested and he kept hounding me. He took know for an answer! Why are you guys making him out to be the good guy and me the bad??? Is it because I didn't trust this guy? That is my right not trust anyone...I don't care what forum you belong too! The email he posted was one of the last sent to him! He kept going on and on an on and on after that!
 
Masterchef, do I really care?????? This guy disrespected me first by posting negative crap about me, NO???!?!?!?!?! I can't defend my rep???? Pullllllease!
 
Nicky it is very possible that John persisted to the point of being annoying. We can't know that from here and where that point will lie will vary in each case anyway.

But the essential proposition remains the same. If you don't want to do the deal, walk away. All you need do is send a clear but polite email to that effect. If you keep getting emails after that, you can simply ignore them, without cause for concern.
 
I did that and he just kept going and going and going. I'll NEVER deal with anyone on this forum after this. Just because people didn't see it from my perspective! I have had dealing with many people on here and never any problems! The last deal I had was with Normark for a sheath and I wouldn't of expected him to ship my sheath without me paying him first!
 
I am glad I posted this thread. Not because I got a chance to complain (though it was somewhat cathartic), but because eveyone else got a chance to see what 'crazy nicky' is like, and how he handles himself.

I do feel somewhat vindicated.

Thank you all for the positive responses.

PS- I still welcome any negative comments about how I might have handled this better, I don't claim to know everything about this stuff.

PPS- I CAN be annoying from time to time, just ask my wife!!!

-John
 
nicky, I can't say you'll be missed, but don't you think it's a bit foolish to judge the MANY fine members of this forum based on ONE bad experience (which you just might have had a hand in spoiling) and a few bits of constructive criticism (from member who have a right to speak their mind)?

ALSO, Normark runs a business!!! There's a difference here. I'm not saying that I should be able to go to Sears and get a lawnmower without paying until I feel like it. And I AGREED TO YOUR TERMS!!! THEN you backed out!!!
 
These things are usually pretty easy to figure out and this one is no different. If the buyer makes an offer and the seller says deal,,then its a deal. No buyers remorse or sellers remorse should be allowed or tolerated. If the seller says no to an offer,,that's it. Harrassment shouldn't be allowed or tolerated either.

If you harrass sellers on the forum, you won't last long. If you won't ship simultaneously to those who have positive reps you won't last long either.
Just my .02
 
GET OVER IT! I didn't want to deal with you because you are annoying!!! Yet you still find the need to keep this going by insulting me on the forum. By the way, the knife has been sold for more than you offered. Bye bye
 
No deal was EVER made. This deal never even left the negotiation table! I didn't feel comfortable so I didn't go through with it. That is my RIGHT! If you don't agree with what I did, oh well. If you want to put me on your "Ignore List" do so. I don't care either way.
 
he said $90 Money order, I said $90 check (with the stipulation that he wait until it clears before shipping), and then he said that he changed his mind and he was going to list it on ebay.

We agreed on the price and more or less on the terms, but he didn't say that the check was OK. I can't imagine what difference it would make, since he would have waited until it cleared anyway.

just wanted to be clear and make sure I wasn't misrepresenting myself.

Thanks,

-John
 
See the truth finally come out! I never agreed to the check like I have been saying all a long. I don't take chances with people I don't know. Sorry it didn't work out!
