I purchased a "NEW" Spyderco from Ixexi as listed here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...rco-Pacific-Salt-C91PBBK-Black-NEW-65-shipped

As you can see, the pictures are blurry but the knife is represented as "NEW."

When I got it, there was a scratch - a sizable one, on the coating of the blade. This was obviously a return or something of the sort.

After bringing the blurry photo and the mar on the blade to his attention, we agreed that because I like Spyderco knives and because he seems to get them to sell, he would "work something out for me" on the next purchase. I gave him a list of models I was interested in and he said he would hook me up. Well, needless to say, I heard nothing back and when I started to monitor his posts and see that some of the models he was offering for sale were models I would be interested in purchasing, that's when I got a response lecture about how knives are supposed to be used and not kept as collector's items or some such BS.

I see that now he is banned but do not know about the circumstances. This great place is better off without him.

That stinks.

Ive heard most of my life the " Knives are for using and not collecting" drill, to be honest imo some are and some aren't. regardless, its too each their own. I do both. That said, I am very descriptive in my sale threads, I don't like surprises and I figure know one else does either.
sorry to hear of your ordeal.
 
I know he was banned....so I'm wondering where these other knives were being offered for sale....
 
I've met some great folks here and made many friends, the blurry photo didn't really raise suspicions based upon the favorable dealings I've had here at BF.

Live and learn I suppose.

Glad he's gone and, like I said, this great forum is better of without him.
