"I'll Take It".............

And that's another thing, if you wife holds veto power over your wallet...please ask her first before you post in my add you will take it.[/QUOTE]



Laughin' here...................

It surprises me, whether true or not or that anyone cares, that anybody would resort to using such an weak and BS excuse. It's offered as an excuse or justification due to either his perceived belief that all wives either must be cut from the same mold (ie: controlling and wears the pants in the house) or that as a male seller, you will just accept that 'line' as the truth OR knows you know it likely isn't true but it's the best he could do at the moment to cover his azz for having wants and desires larger than the contents of his wallet and rather than taking the prudent, adult, responsible approach, he gave into temptation..........unfortunately.

Again......not likely malicious by design, but still rather childish and disconcerting, especially if you're the seller.

Not a crime in this particular venue, but pretty irresponsible and immature given the expected finality of such a response........."I'll Take It". The exception being an immediate family emergency and such that those particular funds can be better used to help mitigate the emergent situation, but of course, that excuse is both likely quite safe from further inquery and perhaps abused more often than we'd like to believe. Even once, would be too much, in my book.
 
The everybody that does not spell well is an idiot thing is the battle cry of certain forums, yet I applaud Bladeforums members for being individuals who for the very most part make great guys to buy, sell , and trade with. So when I see, this is what that place does or this place does, I know Bladeforums is by far the best site to exchange knives. The exchange here far exceeds in numbers and in actions that of all other sites combined. Because we have great Mods, that despite some rules, keep this place clean. And our members understand that. Idiots and other fools, geeks, SOB's, other words have no place in a business transaction . As for saying "i'll take it " means nothing. That should go into a sig line, if someone is clearly not going to follow the rules. Our rules state posting "i will take it" mean just that. YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE KNIFE, PERIOD AT THE ASKED PRICE. You can first pm or email, vistor message to meet on the price, but in the meantime, if someone post "i will take it" . The knife should belong to the first to say that in open post. Most all are welcome here, but I feel we have to follow the same set of rules, set by the owner of this site. If someone professes they will not follow those rules, that is a Mod call. I see members from all areas who buy, sell, and trade with great products and great additudes on this site. And they follow the stated rules and address the issues in a safe, business like environment. THIS FORUM USES ITRADE AS A CHECK SYSTEM. YOU EARN RESPECT HERE, AND THAT IS HOW I HOPE IT STAYS. Simply put our Mods are the most respected, ( often tough ) but respected and never take sides based on anything but the rules and facts.

Both signing your name and typing in complete and grammatically-correct sentences go a long way towards giving a seller the impression you are a responsible adult rather than a teenager or an idiot. I don't deal with either in these matters
.
For example, I have this little rule which I use in any sales thread I host, at any forum - I don't care if you post "I'll Take It" in the thread. You email or PM me, and we square the details and then you pay me
