Sir,
1. He sent the knife to you on your agreement to the deal- (agreed by both parties)
2. You never mentioned insurance at his end nor did he. - (unsure of agreement
3. You did not do what you said you were gonna do, complete your side of the trade.
He DID do what was agreed, he shipped the knife, it get stolen from your mailbox and he has to eat it?
Once you changed your mind, it is now on you. I would advise you to insist on insuring in both directions for over $200 on all trades.

About half the time here the DC says delivered but I don't get it till the next day. Hopefully you will get it tomorrow and this will be a mute point. However, it is a valuable lesson learned! Always use insurance for an expensive purchase and then if it gets lost it is a pain but no loss of money.
Sir,
I agree, BUT you should have the sense to do what you PROMISED to do! While this might seem to you that you are without blame here, often, both parties on these deals look bad.....Not insuring a knife is an basic mistake but not one that bears on the other party's honesty and dependability.......as for your's......

I recently received a Knife valued @ $ 455.00 and I was told I would have to sign for it and had been tracking it from work. It had been delivered and signed for by me according to the post office yet no one signed for it because I was @ work. Luck has it that it was in my mail box when I got home but I would have been pissed if it wasn't there. Another time I found a package that showed delivered @ my carport only I don't have a carport but found it at my neighbors carport and they had been away on vacation.
I think you need to complete the deal. I hope you find the package he shipped you. Good luck

First of all I never said it was OK..... I accept half the responsibility. The value of the knife new is $410 It was carried per the seller about four times, and these sell here for $320-$360...... I have no idea of the actual condition of the knife, and I am more than willing to reimburse 1/2 the cost plus his shipping fee, but he is a without doubt at half fault here.
Knifehunt,
Respectfully, I completely disagree...... if his wife does not show up, as hoped, you should do the right thing and compensate him fully. You agreed to the deal, you reneged, his knife (AFAIK) was pinched from your mailbox... Had you made the decision not to do the deal in a timely fashion, he would not have sent the knife to be stolen........your issue to repair.
I hope it works out but you are not the injured party..
Best

Why do insist it was stolen? For all I know it is at the post office or delivered to the wrong address. Some of you choose to make up your own scenarios.
Regardless, he is at half fault. I'm sure this is more than he would do for me.

As far as I know, insurance will compensate the sender if the article is lost during shlpment. Since the PO has marked the article as delivered, the PO will disallow the claim. Insurance will not cover an item stolen from the delivery point or misdelivered unless the carrier states the package was misdelivered.
I insist that you did not do what you promised to do!!!!
....If it makes you sleep better at night to say "I'm sure this is more than he would do for me."" So be it....but to be sure, it speaks volumes about your personal ethics and behavior.
Best luck in the future

Funny how a person doesn't even uphold his end of the deal and still wants to say that.
It is apparent that many of you do not understand how the postal service works. Had it been insured for the valued amount, it would have been handed to me by the carrier, and a signature required. I would have then had possession of the package, and then be responsible for it.
This is correct. If something is stolen out of your mailbox, that insurance claim is invalidated. Insurance is only valid during the time the package is in the USPS's possession. If they scan the item as delivered, then it is delivered as far as I know. When I have items delivered, the mail carrier scans the package first, then he puts it in the mailbox. I've seen this time and again.
Now, insurance discussion aside here is what I would commend. Knifehunt, stop by your local post office in the morning or as soon as you can and explain to them that you didn't receive the package. Provide the clerk with your DC number and let them investigate. They will certainly speak with the mail carrier that worked the day it was to be delivered. This might shed new light on the matter. We can speculate all day, but it does no good.
Going forward, I recommend that everyone that buys, sells, or trades here or on any other forums discuss their terms via email or in a trade or sales thread. Make your expectations clear so there is no way to misunderstand one another. Tell the other person how you will ship and when, with or without insurance, etc. and ask them for the same information in return. Communication is always a good thing, and as a result we learn new and better ways to do things.

When I agree to trade I'm absolutely certain I want to. I would never decide I wasn't after I agreed to and I certainly wouldn't just decide not to the day the knives are to be sent. That a person would do this doesn't make them credible in my eyes.
