And 0 feedback i need my a$$ kicked until my nose bleeds for just not cancelling the transaction when he wouldnt give me his bf name he just kept saying he subscribes to the exchange threads and he was old enough to own it. From now on no feedback= no knife unless i can speak to you and see you are normal lol. Oh and get this after i ran a search of his name it says hes single rents with another guy and girl and is not married so i wonder how his wife got mad?? The really sad part is knives are basically my life and really my only hobbie and i use pp daily this guy only used it to crook me and if they rule in his favor it would kill my pride to give pp or ebay another cent of my money.

All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick! The rules for The Exchange can be found here. Please read and follow them. Stop using Paypal Friends & Family and follow our best practices to prevent getting ripped off or having a bad deal.

ADV is a pain to deal with but if your Butcher is in good shape, you will be able to get your money back selling it here.
:thumbup: You sure do sound like a good ole country boy! I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this mess...I'm really hoping that you'll be informing us, that PayPal ruled in your favor.
I for one, thank you, Flynlow, for taking one for the team (us BF member's). Even with due diligence, any member can fall victim to something like this, on any given sales transaction; we see incidents like this, nearly every week.
It would be quite interesting, if hildo, would weigh in here, & share his version (not that I doubt yours, Flynlow).
Best of luck!
Yeah i seen all the bad feedback on adv after i got mine lol. Its a beautiful knife in great shape its blue with rootbeer backspacer and is marked proto inside. I havent even tried to unload it since im picture posting challenged it makes selling kinda hard lol. But im sure i can get my $385 back .

It kind of struck me as a little odd and off put that he says he's married, yet rents with another guy, then said wanted his friends at school to see it. These three statments just aren't adding up. I feel for you, brother! This whole thing smells like low tide at Revere beach.
Thanks kelama i am just a rural country boy drive a lifted dodge truck and wear redwings everyday i started trading knives at 5yrs old with my papaw on saturdays old case xx and tested of course then somehow i paid over 300 for a chris reeve to see what it was all about well i liked it but i wasnt hooked until i got a large annual redwood man that knife oozed character now i am a crk addict check my thread out about finding a ldc i posted a pic of my collection. As for hildo posting he knows soon as he does he has to say im telling the truth about the wife return then over 2 weeks later trying to send it back and telling pp its broken because i have every single email from him and will post them if he replies. Plus i think he likes messing with this ole hillbilly im not used to dealing with trolls lol.
:thumbup:
That would be nice if he replied... By the sounds of it, he doesn't have a legitimate reason other than he changed his mind, and I and others already stated, that isn't a valid reason to expect a refund...
Yep... LOL
It doesn't matter if he doesn't usually do business this way. The fact is, it appears by the postings here, he just changed his mind about it, and so far he hasn't offered any other info pertaining to the transaction. So now he DOES do business this way.
Two weeks is ridiculous. Granted, things happen in life, like getting sick or family emergency. Heck, it could be he didn't even have the $$$ to send it back, but with no communication, it appears that isn't the case.
Yes civilians can ship and receive autos, but not in all states or municipalities... Here in Oregon, we can buy sell, and ship autos, and carry them as long as they aren't fully concealed
Autos may be legal where you live, but it isn't the case in all states. It sounds like where you live, your CCW permit also covers auto knives. In Oregon it does not.
The problem could be that it isn't legal to own an auto where the buyer lives...
I'm not a vindictive person, but in this case, I hope PP rules in your favor, you get to keep the $$$, and he is left to deal with the knife in whichever fashion he chooses. If he just doesn't like the knife, he can do what most of us here would do, sell it. Not expect the seller to refund his money because he doesn't like it, or is having remorse about spending almost $400
Its my fault i just thought he was a normal buyer and honestly i have made friends here from buying and selling so when he kept saying he was a member i just sold it too him. I even messaged a close friend i made here about shipping to him he said no worries if hes one of us on here. Lol hind sight 2020 i guess.
Seems he is also an R/C enthusiast, and is a member of several "remote controlled hobby" forums.

So, he may have wanted his money back for an R/C project rather than the knife. Looks like buyers remorse more than anything else at this point. What has happened here to the OP is the primary reason why as new members, you need to prove yourself to those that have some tenure. Trust is something that is earned through actions and time, nothing else can "speed up" that process and it shouldn't be. Some new members were simply outraged a short time ago because they were not treated with open arms regarding transactions and asked to jump through some hoops in order to get a deal done. The same people were also very quick to blast each other in a thread citing very rudimentary issues that were more of a mild annoyance rather than being a genuine issue (making a mountain out of a molehill due to no communication/omission). The behavior displayed is not what is expected here. This place is for adults, not necessarily kids and if someone cannot even get their story straight or be honest, they do not deserve to be trusted by the many here that are.
Most people here are great, and honest. But, you can find a bad one anywhere...
The great thing about BF's is, there are lots of people here who will support a member who has a problem with someone trying to take advantage of them.
The Mods will do all they can to help as well.

I actually sold it very cheap $240 so he got a great deal. I realize the auto thing i was saying that as if i have to open it in front of the post office employees it wont be no big deal.
Understood. I hope this can be resolved quickly, and you can get back to buying and selling here.
It's a hard way to learn a lesson, but next time I'm sure you will do some research on the person you are dealing with. That includes sellers you may be buying from.
You can do a search using the members name here, or if you aren't finding much, you can also post a thread asking if anyone has had dealings with a particular member.
It could be a member has had dealings buying and selling, but sometimes people don't always leave feedback, so it won't give them a rating.
Excactly when i first bought and sold here i expected it to take time to be trusted to be honest im still trying to keep everyone happy and prove myself i want to be excepted and trusted. I didnt to start this thread and was kinda afraid to rock the boat but the more i thought about me trusting him because he said he was a member the more i realize we are a community of buyers and sellers who need to stick together and i should let everyone know it could happen to them. Just imagine if it was a used knife the excuses i would have heard !!!????
I really wish there was a way to make people who have disputes with other members to have to come up to the plate and tell their side . It would sure make people think twice because they would be held accountable for their actions .. I know this will never happen but they couldn't hide behind their Mom I mean Mommy .
