Thanks!
I appreciate the kind words and share the same feelings about my experiences with you and several other 'makers/sellers/members' here.
I must admit that in the relatively short time that I've been a member here, I'm continuing to see more and more transactions that give me a bit more pause when my 'I'll Take It' finger gets itchy. Soooo many deals gone bad, members intentionally taking advantage of other members, members knowingly guilty of untoward acts placing blame on victim members when just 'manning up' would bring closure and perhaps save their reputations............all very disturbing and likely makes many others, like myself, a bit hesitant to trust another members word. That sucks.....at best.
Yes, I know......there are soooo many good members here, but if I'm wrong about the escalation in frequency of complaints in this GBU section, then I must be hallucinating. What was once quite uncommon is now quite common......not good.
Be fair and respectful......that's all it takes.

Ken is one of the many good guys . It is a shame as he says that there are also the scum .
Thanks Jack!
You are clearly included in the 'to be always trusted' catagory and you have been so from well before my first transaction with you. I did my due diligence well before my first purchase here on BF's and it has served me well.
As I like to impart a bit of myself to each maker/seller throughout our transactions in PM's or emails, I also am rewarded with some great stories and communication in return. These 'moments' help the both of us to get a better feel for one another, which is never a bad thing. I enjoy those exchanges very much.
That some very long term, well respected, 100% feedback members with numerous transactions are now quite often being 'called out' here in the GBU section (and a very large % of these assertions have clearly been supported), is both disturbing as well as a sad commentary on where some are placing their priorities. If 'greenbacks' and/or a coveted knife is worth tainting our reputations over, we have certainly begun establishing new lows in how we view and embrace our own integrity.
If it were not for members like yourself, 'sisk' and many others, I would not enjoy this forum nearly as much, much less feel comfortable enough to drop a few bucks now and again without wondering, "is it my turn in the hopper"?
I'd rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I'm not. A steadily growing number of members here (some veteran members), as of late, don't embrace this position and have shown their true colors in that regard and it's not pretty.

............and as for my longest standing knife buddy and most prolific seller of sharp stuff, Vince (VMC3), if we all approached this business, life and integrity as you have done with me for so many years, we'd only have a 'G' section, not the GBU section we do now.
Thanks!
Thanks!
