that's an asinine position. buying and selling knives is never a life priority, regardless of your profession.

Locutus clearly stated that was his opinion. What makes your opinion any more valid than his? What makes his opinion wrong? It is, after all, just an opinion...
 
my bad. of course it was a valid point of view. doctors can't/shouldn't engage in knife sales. got it.

+1 to this ^^
So then you could say police or firefighters should never sell knives because what if they get called in. And so many other professions this could apply too.
Seller made a mistake owned up to it. And now he just needs to be better with communication. If it were me I would let people know that there could be delays with me being on call at the E.R.

I would like to chime in here. First off, Jackal I sent you a refund the moment I received the email requesting a refund. I have emailed you a screenshot of the paypal refund with timestamp.
I have perfect feedback, and have only been on blade forums for a few months. Every prior transaction I have made, the other party has been very happy. When I said the tracking numbers are in my office, I don't get to my office much as I am a physician in an Emergency room of a busy NYC hospital, I sometimes stay in the hospital for 2 days without going home or to my office. Communication has been delayed because there is no service in the ER and I don't exactly get a chance to check my emails often on the PC. When I did send the knives out, I had them sent via the hospital service, who sends the tracking numbers to my office fax machine. I will not sit here and explain further what happened to each knife, I hope my feedback will speak for itself. I have been here for a few months now, and completed maybe 20 trades/sales/purchases and have never had a complaint. I have completed trades with members who have feedback in the hundreds, and they are happy to repeat business with me. Im sorry you had such a bad experience, and maybe the communication was not ideal, and I apologize for that, it has been a ridiculously busy holiday week. I still have not received the Buck back in the mail, but have refunded you. Check your email

I checked my PayPal today when I got home and my money has been refunded. So in the end the seller made it right,and all is well that ends well.

To NycEric, communication and being up front is number one. Had you told me in advance the issues you had I would have been more than willing to work things out. But when a week and a half goes by and you never provide tracking info or an explanation as to why you can't provide it, people will get upset. What we do online, buying selling trading, is basically putting our trust in people we don't know. So it's up to the seller to do everything in their power to keep the buyers mind at ease. I'm hoping this is simply an isolated incident for you due to your schedule, and that things will stay smooth from here on. Anyways, thank you for making things right. I appreciate it.
 
I'm glad that one worked itself out. Please keep this thread open until the issue with seeverscpa is addressed as promised by NYC
 
Will do. I'll check periodically until it's resolved or a mod can close it when they deem appropriate.

I'm not sure this was directed at me...but my point was that one individual attacked another individual's opinion. They were just opinions, they are neither right, nor wrong. For the record...I never stated that I felt one vs. the other was right or wrong. I see both sides of that coin and both individuals backed their opinion with reasoning.

Yea but there is no way I would ever agree with someone's argument that a Doctor should not be able to sell knives because he should only focus on patients.

NYCEric has said he has had over 20+ transactions that all were reported good. Now there are 2 were there was lack of communication but both were refunded and have been taken care of. From what I got from all this is the guy got busy with his job. And let's be honest his job is a little more demanding and serious then most people's jobs. I honestly would not have a problem doing business with him. I don't feel like he is trying to rip anyone off.

I tend to agree with you as long as the buyer knew/knows going into the transaction that communication may be spotty. I feel that most people are okay once they know what's going on in any situation. It's the fear of being ripped of and being left in the dark that causes most people to panic.
 
I have never not responded to anyone's emails or ignored any of the buyers. Seavers received his knife, just a few days later than expected. Again I apologize for not providing tracking, and for not sending it sooner. I have also made a trade transaction last week at the same time as these 2 transactions, for which the buyer left positive feedback and was satisfied.

Doc Eric,
Why don't you just add a simple statement on all your for sale or trade ads that says "I am an Emergency Room doctor in a busy NYC hospital and you may encounter some delays in communication or shipping from me but you will get your stuff. Please be patient. "

I think that will ease the worry of most normal folks on here since there are more than a few others that will start to panic within 12 -24 hours of not hearing from a person or within a couple of hours of emailing someone.

What about seeverscpa? What he has stated is not bad communication, it is outright dishonesty. If you avoid addressing, you are going on my ignore list.

I dropped the package off to the mail room, along with a few others on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. If Seevers stated that the package was marked as shipped on day 5, then it looks like it may have been past the cutoff time for pickup that day, and the following was a holiday. On Monday I was notified that one of the packages I had sent was undeliverable, and I immediately assumed it was this one, as the buyer stated he still has not received it. I did not cross reference before responding. Turned out to be a different knife, and his was delivered the following morning. Never did I ignore or not communicate. And tbh, I hope I end up on your ignore list!

Crucify me of you must.... I don't know why, but I am giving NYC the benefit of the doubt. I hope this is just a clear message to all about the communication that is asked for when doing deals on BF.
 
Eric's email to me on Tuesday 11/22 at 9:17pm, in response to my asking at 8:35 pm if the package was coming via FexEx, word for word:

" Yes. I dropped it off for shipment today, but I am at work and do not have the tracking number in front of me. I can send it over when I get to my office tomorrow."

So I'm not sure what cut off could have been missed, as he says in the post above, but Tuesday was a business day, Wednesday was a business day, FedEx was closed Thursday. So at 9:35 PM at night he is telling me it was dropped off at FedEx that day. Even if some cutoff was missed that day, Tuesday, wouldn't it have shipped via FedEx the next day, Wednesday?

And what cut off are we talking about? The package has a pre-printed FedEx label that goes on the front of package, dated the moment you print it and put it together for FedEx shipping. And that label is generated by the shipper at the time the shipment is made. And you can't print one of these labels unless you have a pre-existing fed ex account, or you drop it off at a retail FedEx center.

So his contention is that he dropped it off in the mail room on Tuesday and it didn't ship FedEx until Friday.

My concern was I asked for tracking info three times and three times I was told it was at the office, or at home, or he didn't have it.

I got the knife fellas, as far as I'm concerned the issue is resolved. Eric gave me a positive review, I will abstain from providing feedback on this particular transaction. I think this thread has explained enough.

The cutoff would be the latest time you could drop it off and them have it labeled and staged to go when the driver picks up at that location. The shipping department would print the label from an existing account when they receive the package, so it can sit ready to go for when the driver gets there.

I think I didn't go heavy enough on my sarcasm. The cut off for FedEx is the pick up cut off, generally on the East Coast at that time 5:45 PM or later. If it's anything like the FedEx I use multiple times a week, I have to put the package in the FedEx pick up box outside in the parking lot with my shipping label affixed to the FedEx package prior to 5:45 PM.

And I have two separate FedEx individuals, one who delivers the package usually in the morning or early afternoon, and a separate guy who comes later at 5:45 and empties to pick up box. So I was just thinking out loud, sarcastically, how this cut off would have applied here. I guess anything is possible…

I have to disagree with you here. I sit on the board of a nonprofit, and our president is an ER doc. He works 24 hours straight and then has 48 hours off. During the 24 hour shift the vast majority of it he is not busy treating patients. Does he get busy when he's treating someone who comes in for an emergency and can't be bothered? Of course. Actually he tells me most nights he sleeps five or six hours through the night and he is not woken up for emergencies.
 
All in all I think this highlights the fact that our system here works. I think jackal feels the situation is resolved and I sure feel that the situation is resolved. I use the term resolve as it relates to meeting this objective: The parties are no longer in dispute over money or knives - now were just relitigating the events.

The more people strive to communicate as many aspects as possible in these sale or trade posts, the better off everyone will be. I've seen posts that say "I can't pay you until later tonight but I will as soon as I get off work". And I've seen posts that say "I won't be shipping these for two days, if that's a concern then don't buy it".

And stuff happens, life gets in the way, and some transactions don't go as smooth as they could have. It is what it is.
