I think the last thing you want me to do is do warranty your knife. Tell you want, you send me a dull knife that is worthless to you, I'll sharpen it and send it back to you. This way, you will know why you don't want me providing that service.

dericdesmond did want the $11 he paid for insurance refunded in 3/2010.
The thread was recently reopened because of current discussion in various parts of the forums about unethical behavior from the same seller. To say that "The OP sounds like the kid who wants his two dollars" is both condescending and inaccurate.
That's the point that was made earlier in the thread about opportunity cost. These are people, me included, who will never buy from you.
I find you interesting from a sociological perspective. There is a cultural element to this regardless of how many people want to scream racism when difference that are bad are highlighted. I lived and worked in Asia for many years. What I believe we are seeing is a cultural phenomenon that says whatever I can do to talk you out of your money makes me clever, and you stupid. There are undoubtedly native borns who subscribe to this same philosophy but it is not woven into the fabric of our society the way it is into the merchant world of Asia.
LK do you believe the saying, "Laws are made by man, not God." I bet you do.

You didn't answer any of the questions, not one. Direct answers please.
1. Did you or did you not accept money for insurance? Yes or no.
2. Why would you accept the money for it if you were not going to purchase it through USPS?
3. Why, if you made a mistake, as you say, did you not simply refund the money that he paid you for the insurance?

I agree with tiburon 100%
This is about principles and ethics more so than the $11. At this point I don't think dericdesmond cares about the money himself, but rather he is looking out for the community by keeping us informed.
chopridesanRC51, why not deal with dericdesmond? He is as solid a member as you could hope or want to deal with.
He has also brought awareness to many who might have otherwise been ripped-off. I think a "Thank you!" would have been more appropriate.
You just admitted to forgetting to buy insurance, and said you would have if requested. You also admit you have bettered your shipping experiences.
So then mr. Grown man.
Where is Deric's $11, and acknowledgement for poor and unsafe packaging?
Dumb A**. You didnt get the insurance which he paid for. Why dont you just pay the $11.00 back?. $11.00 DOLLARS.
You would rather have your name trashed over such a small amount like that. Look at the hundreds of dollars you
just lost out on because of it. WOW, was it worth it?.

No, he did NOT get his money back...
he did NOT get an apology from LK for acting like a child by demanding the return of the knife in question...
he did NOT get an apology from LK for shoddy and dangerous packaging...
nor did he even get an acknowledgment from LK that he (LK) could have done things differently and better.
I will consider your statement "retracted".

jump down my throat much? i didn't know your emotions ran so high for a forum thread...
TS replied to me, M67 corrected me, i even went as far as to say sorry he didnt get his money back (even though i didnt take it from him)
maybe you should switch to decaf.. or NOT

Presume much? I actually had the reply page up when M67 and you posted your responses, which were not seen until my response posted. This thread is about Liu Kang and his past and current actions, not your interpretations of my posts. If you have a personal problem with me, please PM me.
maybe you should have used a quote to clarify WHO and WHAT you were speaking of... most normal people would assume the very next post under theirs (without a quote saying otherwise) would be referenced to them
and as to your post to PM you? no thanks im married
i still vote you try decaf.. and relax... its only the internet :thumbup: the threads been derailed enough...
