Oh trust me I’m supper pissed , he stoped responding to me , just wanted to see even with the things to consider without the lieing is it a good price for a used one
 
The price you paid is a good deal for "excellent condition"
A broken tip and a missing/broken screw, is NOT excellent condition. Boken product + broken/missing hardware is poor condition. Fair- at best, if everything else was mint, but you claim even the handle is stained... Poor.

The fact you have to ask whether a broken knife claimed as "excellent" condition, and being sold for just 25% under the going retail price, (but blatently broke and stained AND blatenly misrepresented as such in the ad), was a "good deal" or not is beyond me...
FWIW, no, it was a horrible deal.
 
The price is probably not all that bad however!!! The price is irrelevant. The item should be as described and the pictures should be as it currently appears. I wouldn't use or otherwise alter the knife. Take some detailed pictures and screen capture the description and file a claim. You should always receive what you were sold, not something "like it" . I hope it turns out for you and if the claim goes nowhere at least you could possibly send it to Spyderco for a once over.
 
Nah that's not right at all. I'd dox that guy if he doesn't give you your money back.

I'm mostly joking but I've been burned too and it sucks. Makes me really weary of the secondary.
 
As everyone else said, definitely not a good deal. Did you ask the seller for a refund or credit based on misrepresentaion? Otherwise the PayPal claim is the way to go, and there is a forum for seller feedback here, maybe start a thread there. Sorry it happened, it's a pain. I always think when someone sells something second hand, they should treat the buyer like they would want to be treated. Obviously, that isn't the case here.
 
Even if you paid $75, you didn't get what was agreed to from the description.
 
A comment and then an observation:

First my comment regarding the merits of the deal: if the condition was misrepresented as the OP has told us, then this is not a "good" deal because he did not get the value which he thought he was going to get, for the price which he agreed to pay. Period! Besides that, I have seen honestly represented LNIB PM2-110V models selling on here for around 130.

Now onto the observation: I can not fathom that this OP had bought the knife on Blade Forums under this ID, since he has only 2 posts (at the time when I write this) to his name and both are on this thread plus the fact that his joining date is yesterday when he started this thread. There are no messages on his profile page and I could not find a PM2 in S110V in any recent sales searches with such description. As an unpaid member, the OP would not have been able to PM any seller on here to buy any knife so the OP would have had to leave some form of trail either via a post on a sales thread if posted as WTS on the Exchange.

I strongly think that this purchase was an off the Site transaction, unless a seller on here had left his email or phone number on his ad! I highly doubt this being the case.

I wouldn’t mind having a Paramilitary 2 in S110V myself, but I would have passed on this one. Minor signs of use wouldn’t bother me too bad since the knife was bought used. Knives lose some value even with little or no use, but the one you received sounds like it is in fairly rough condition. Like I said earlier, I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew the condition in advance. However, if I already owned the knife in the condition you described and wanted to sell it, I would probably put a 75$ price tag on it.

Yes, bad deal all around.

I paid $100 shipped for a Blurple PM2 in excellent, never carried condition a couple years ago.
 
I dont generally buy second hand simply because you never REALLY know what problems you are inheriting.

That said, a basic membership and purchasing on the bfc exchange is probably the safest bet. Not only do I think the vast majority of our members are outstanding folks, but this place is also policed pretty hard. One or two bad deals is about all you get before you are tarred and feathered...figuratively speaking of course. Most people serious about doing legitimate business aren't going to mess around with losing 100,000 potential buyers.
 
I never buy second hand knifes.
Too many fakes especially in Spyderco.
And ya never know what condition it really is in.
His perception of great condition vs what you consider may leave you unhappy.
 
Yea you got screwed...if it was on the exchange then be sure to share in the feedback forum.

The condition you describe is poor to junk status, it has value as a project knife for somebody but not for what you paid!

It should be noted, just because a knife is damaged doesn’t usually make it useless, especially if it’s a quality steel. Lots of tinkerers on here will bring it back to life, just need to be up front about it and not lie.
 
There are some major flaws that should have been disclosed. I wouldn't have been thrilled if he gave me that knife, unless I was looking for a project knife. If you can send it back or make a PP claim I would.
about the only way you didn't get beat on this deal was that there was a knife in the package rather than a rock
