I signed on to the sale forum and found a Sprint PM2 that wasn't yet outright claimed "I'll take it" being sold by someone that I had previously purchased a knife from here. Reignman had posted inquiring about the knife and wanted more pictures and that he'll take it if he likes what he sees. I posted "I'll take it" and began dialogue with the seller for payment, not questions or more pics.. I probably should not have directly responded to Reignman as we can both be "right" depending on points of view which I'll take the blame for but he then responded that I have Zero feedback etc. like that changes who claimed it outright first.

With all due respect you have 0 feedback and I asked for a picture of the edge and I would take it. Good start to the community here, I'll be sure to not sell you a knife here.

First off, I did not mean any sarcasm when I said "with all due respect". Hard to tell over the computer but there it is. Not sure about your tone and usage of it. You had a whole essay asking for pictures, I claimed the knife outright with no conditions or any hassle to the seller. First I'll take it gets it... Once you saw that I claimed it without any BS you edited your post to "I'll take it"... BY THEN, I HAD ALREADY DISCUSSED PAYMENT WITH THE SELLER. I have zero feedback because I haven't left any as a buyer so I haven't gotten any in return yet. The "I've been here longer" Gold member one million feedback argument tastes like sour grapes. Claim the knife, if not and jimmy jack around with the seller, you run the risk of getting passed up. Don't blame me. The irony is, I have zero feedback but I purchased a Ti Millie from the seller a month ago... It was very positive. There's your feedback.

Anyways... I don't know about anyone else, but I've been around enough Exchange forums to know that typically, First unconditional I'll take it- get's it... Which of course, it ultimately is the seller's decision and again my mistake was responding to him directly even as cordial as I tried to make it over the computer.

I agree with you on all accounts, including the part that it was a mistake to respond to him directly in the sale thread. If you were concerned, it probably would have been best to just explain the situation to the seller privately. Also not sure this thread was necessary. Anyone who looks at that sale thread can get the gist of what occurred. I probably would have just let it die.

You are probably correct to have let it just die and thought of that. Was just offended by the response. I'll work on that moving forward. I'm not a paying member though So I cannot close this thread. Mods feel free to do so thanks.
 
I think usually the response if you have a question is to say I sent a PM. If you say you'll take it. That is a done deal. All assuming the seller wants it to play out that way.
Live and learn all!
