James - funds sent through PayPal. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing it in person.
Payment received, positive feedback left :thumbup:
Please allow me to clarify something... this gentleman added a few bucks to his payment to me, to cover any fees. That is not necessary!
I refunded the extra back to him, because my original asking prices include all domestic shipping (I generally ship by USPS Priority Mail, unless the customer requests a different carrier), fees, sales tax, insurance, etc
no matter if you pay by PayPal, money order or whatever. That complies with various PayPal and BladeForums rules, and frankly it makes it easier for me to keep track of my books.
The only time I ask customers to pay more is if they're in another country, because that usually entails more cost to ship, possible customs fees/taxes etc. For international orders, I will look up all the actual costs and let the customer know
Wilsonhome also confirmed his correct shipping address in a private message, and that's
always a good idea :thumbup: On two seperate occasions I sold a guy a knife, they forgot that they had moved but didn't change the address on their PayPal accounts, and I sent it to their prior home

Happily, we got it squared away both times and they got their knives, but it was a bit of a hassle.
Also, if you want a knife shipped to your job or something so you know someone will be there to get it during the day, just let me know. I understand that sometimes people are leery of having an expensive package just sitting on their doorstep all day.
