Hello,

I am an aspiring knife/straightrazor maker. I am being mentored by a Dr. Robert Molenaar of Cannon Falls MInnesota. Les Voorhies (knifemaker) is familiar with Dr Molenaar as is R. B. Johnson (knifemaker)
.
I have offered to help Dr. Molenaar sell his hand forged custom fixed blade knives. He is 84 years old and is completely computer illterate.
Would it be OK for me to purchase either a Platinum membership or a Knifemakers membership on Bladeforums.com and list his knives? I would of course disclose that I was selling for him and his phone number and address. His address and phone are:

Robert E. Molenaar M.D.
1915 Highway 20N
Cannon Falls, Minnesota 55009
Phone 507-263-3091

I was thinking of purchasing a Knifemakers membership in which to sell Dr. Molenaars knives and a Platinum membership for myself to use for selling refurbished straight razors.

My name and address are
Randolph H. Tuttle
1027 Desoto St.
St. Paul, Minnesota 55101
651-776-0699

Thanks for your time,

Randy Tuttle
 
Yes, that's the right way to do it -- open a Knifemaker account for Dr. Molenaar and he can sell knives with his account though you will do the actual posting and handle the computer stuff for him. There are a couple of others doing that already, either because the knifemaker doesn't speak English or he can't deal with computers. :cool:
 
Thank you for the prompt response!:)

Just one point of clarification please. Should I open a knifemakers account for Dr. Molenaar using his name and address, with a seperate login & password, and then explain in the post that I am acting in his behalf? I can, of course, create an email account for him that would be delivered to me.
 
Yes, that's exactly the way to do it. It's his account; you're just helping him with the internet stuff.

If you were a dealer you would need a Dealer Membership but you're not a dealer; you're just helping a knifemaker. If anybody gets confused and suspects you of being a dealer trying to evade the rules you can refer them to this thread. :cool:
