I am posting this topic to record what has happened in a transaction between myself and "GotDogs".
The original trade was my 2 knives (Spyderco Military and Spyderco Gayle Bradley) for this member's zero tolerance (0551).
After we both agreed to a trade, all of our knives being LNIB condition, we sent them out and should both be getting them in tomorrow.
I made the mistake of listing the 0551 for trade along with another zero tolerance knife I had. I do not yet have the 0551 in my possession and just looked up the rule that says I cannot post unless I have the knife right away.
"GotDogs" found this post and emailed me, saying he is concerned. I replied saying not to worry because I have plenty of feedback to warrant me not ripping off another member for a kershaw knife when I've had plenty of deals that went in 4 digit dollars.
He told me to refuse his package tomorrow and he will do the same. I refused that because I do not wish to wait another 4 days to get knives back. I gave him two options:
"GotDogs" refused both of these options and proceeded to email mods, and tell me I am scamming him.
As mentioned before, we are to be receiving both our sides of the deal tomorrow or the day after, and he is simply backing out on the grounds of "suspicion".
I accepted the mistake that I have made of posting a day before I received his knife, however he is not a mod and I expect the mods to handle this situation rather than a member.

He told me to refuse his package tomorrow and he will do the same. I refused that because I do not wish to wait another 4 days to get knives back. I gave him two options:
- Accept the package, check condition of knives. if not satisfied, I will pay return shipping
- Paypal me $6 because I cannot refuse a package, as it is automatically put in my box. I cannot babysit my box for the carrier to arrive.
"GotDogs" refused both of these options and proceeded to email mods, and tell me I am scamming him.
