Don't know, Nick, I wouldn't mind if I had a knife for sale, and someone I'd dealt with before popped in to say "yeah, Owen's a great guy", or "man that's a great price" (I hope they'd say stuff like that
).
However, I don't think it's appropiate to comment on a post that a price is too high. On the other hand, while I've never done it, there's nothing wrong with emailing someone whose bttt'ed ten times with a knife that's priced far above what we are used to seeing and telling them that the reason their knife isn't selling might be that we can buy the same knife cheaper from a dealer, IMO.
That might help them out.
I would never think to undermine a potential sale for someone just because their asking price is too high for
me, though.
I DO think it's appropiate to call someone on a statement that you know is less than truthful, and to do it publicly. They deserve it if they are intentionally misleading a potential buyer.
At the same time, some people probably give bad info unintentionally, or might not know whether their knife is like new, excellent, good, fair condition etc. Those are hard to call, and it's alot better to just give a very detailed description rather than try to put it in a category, IMO.
Do we have any sort of guidelines for describing condition, etc., here that I don't know about? Seems like a set standard along the lines of the NRA Standards of Condition of Modern Firearms could be helpful.
