I've never bad mouthed anybody here before, but this guy tried to get me to send a knife before I received payment, so I want to warn everyone that they should be careful with love4steel. I'll say right off that I did not lose anything. He was looking for a certain knife - I had one - offered to sell it to him. He agreed to the price, but said he wouldn't have the money till the end of the week. I told him that was OK, I'd ship priority mail as soon as I received payment. He said "Last couple of knives I've sold through the forums we've sent payment/knife at same time ... If you think about it since neither of us are dealers we are taking the same risk. If you have a problem doing it this way I guess I'll still do it - but I'd prefer to do same time. " I replied that I was not willing to do this as I've had several people tell me they'd buy a knife and never heard from them again. He agreed to the terms and said he'd send payment by end of week. Never heard from him again. I've emailed him told him that the least he could do is email me back if he'd changed his mind and that he's the type that will keep me from sending a knife out without first receiving payment. Told him that I guess this is why they have GBU posts - no response and no way I'll ever deal with him again.

I tenerally won't cross ship on my first deal with someone unless they have a long presence on the forums, some good posts in GB&U, or another forumite recommends them.
Also depends on the price of an item. Not too worried about $40 cheapies, but for a $300 - $500 custom, a bit of established trust is required.

I would like to say that I am guilty of poor communication.
After John told me that he was not willing to ship same time I reluctantly agreed (as you can see by my quote) but afterwards decided that this was an un-fair arrangement.
Fact is.. I SHOULD have sent him an email saying I changed my mind.
I went out of town for a couple days and forgot to do it before I left... That was not good business and I do owe you an apology John.
