Yesterday I was fortunate enough to come across a lot of 11 legitimate Buck Strider 889's. Seeing a mutually beneficial opportunity for my self and the collectors on this forum, I purchased the 11 knifes so that I may sell them at fair market value to those members who may be looking for this out of production folder.
After happily purchasing my platinum membership I posted the knives for sale as an individual. Although I did find a price for the lot, I wanted to give those interested members an opportunity to help me define a fair market value. Not even one Page into the thread I was told by a moderator that I would have to define a price which I promptly did. A few minutes later unfortunately without a warning the mod decided to lock my for sale thread and instantly move it to Pirates Cove. As you may imagine I was offended for being tagged a fraud of some sort based on the mods speculation that the knives may have been Chinese counterfeits. Although I feel the correspondence that followed should have happened prior to my thread being moved to Pirates Cove the mod asked me to provide proof of the knives legitimacy which I did in the form of photographs of the receipts from earlier that day. Additionally I offered to take as many pictures as necessary of the knife, the box, with factory UPC label, the instruction manual etc as well as giving the mod the URL for the store (authorized reseller for Emerson Spyderco, protec) from whom I purchased the knives. Unfortunately the response I received from the mod was something to the effect of please stop your correspondence within to this p.m.
So now what I am looking for is for one of our respected members to help me confirm the authenticity of the knives. I would like to start by sending as many photographs as necessary as well as purchase documentation in order to expedite this so I may put my thread back up ASAP. If necessary I'm willing to go as far as to fedex this expert at my own expense one of the knives of his choosing so that he may inspected in person.
In order to show my gratitude to whomever ends up helping me I will send you one of the knives at no charge as a thank you.
Please see the below photos.
