and yet you agreed it was in LNIB condition when you accepted the knife, and even tried to sell it as NEW IN BOX. which is what started this whole thing! you're right, your knives, your prerogative, but i don't appreciate being taken advantage of by a crook. you'd think someone who is trading would say hey, i plan on selling this for 3x what i'm telling him its worth, but thats the least of the issues here.

i told you it was LNIB despite having been carried, which i told you in advance. LIKE NEW. which you agreed it was. you in turn decided to post it as NEW IN BOX, which it wasn't, so i said something. but i'm off my rocker? just because you can use the edit feature after i called you on it doesn't make you right. you're the one who thinks Like new and NEW are interchangeable terms and yes there's an email to confirm that that i'd be happy to provide.

so be warned, your so called new in box knife is probably only like new, as evidenced by the previously sharpened and scratched and uncentered knives i got from him. slander goes both ways

Take your meds boy.

You're making less and less sense.
 
and it simply is true. khukuri guy is who i was referring to, as he's a personal friend and was actually the one who showed me that thread where i noticed you mis-representing the knives i'd traded to you [shrug] don't know anything about the 940 guy, maybe if you'd just said what it really was in the op?

i mean you say i'm off my rocker but i referenced that i'd carried the paul in at least 3 separate emails prior to shipping. so in saying so on your thread, i was hardly contradicting myself. like new, as in carried, used but you'd never know it from the lack of marks and scratches and other wear, correct? hadn't sharpened it, it'd sat in my pocket and cut some stuff [including my finger]

yet you felt it was in such great condition that you posted it as NEW, and yet when i say something its all of a sudden not even Like New anymore, its used...
 
No reason to be mature after 50 some odd emails of recriminations and accusations.

"I used it" = used

"I took it out of the box, played with it a bit" = LNIB

Commenting that someone supposedly misrepresented something (based on your description) in their thread without ever speaking to the other party = against forum rules, as you've learned

Get it? No? Well that's not surprising.
 
if it was in a condition less than what i described, why didn't you say something? and why would you in turn try to sell it as new?

I wish i hadn't just let the bradley go as a loss as working with you has been a complete nightmare.


obviously the knife was in the condition i stated, seeing you posted it for sale as new. got it? probably not...

the first thing i told you about the knife was that it had been used, that it had caused me to need stitches, and that it no longer sat in my pocket due to my sebenza's arrival. correct? i can post emails if you'd like...

from there i stated it was like new, as it was, albeit used, LIKE NEW in condition. which you agreed with upon receipt of knife, both in email and in positive feed back.

now here's where the conflict started: i notice a thread where the knives i traded you were being sold as being in better condition than i had stated to you, which has likely been edited now, but such was the case. so i said something, that has since been corrected by mods.

if you wanna play word games with nib and lnib, fine. but up until i said publicly i'd carried it, you were fine with it. even though i'd said before that i had.

Maybe because, after visual inspection, it looked LNIB...? You know, like you claimed...

I mistyped in my original thread and then copy/pasted along in the new thread. I've since made the appropriate change (which I'd do had you simply email me).
 
So you agree it was lnib? After visual inspection and having been informed by email prior to trade that it had been carried, that there was black residue on the blade edge and cut me resulting in stitches. You agreed that it was lnib.

And I don't believe it was a typo. You were awfully careful with how you worded the 940 description so that it sounded lightly used. Truth was it was a well used knife. We'd agreed upon that in our transaction. Yet you reposted it as having a replaced blade due to a chip, not loss of tip. Doesn't matter much since the blade had been replaced, just struck me as less than honest, especially considering the Paul "typo" and that after I'd left feed back and under closer inspection, one of the knives I had received from you was less than "nib".

So I said something. Granted in the wrong media, but that doesn't make my point any less valid
 
I think the OP has all the answers to your questions. Then again, basic reading comprehension would tell you as such.
