Nevermind35

Glad it's looking up for y'all. Hope it works out for everyone and nevermind comes out okay from the accident.
 
Did Kristina not know that her Hubby had deals ongoing that he was defaulting on?

He does not communicate with his wife????
 
My wife and I are very close and our communication is excellent. With that said, she wouldn't know where to begin with my knife dealings.
 
I bought a Knife from nevermind 35 about 6 month ago . It took him 3 weeks to ship the knife . I emailed him twice he answered my email a week later saying he has been working late . I can relate to working late so I understand that can happen so I waited two more weeks then the knife arrived . I only received one or two email in three week . I can see why some people are upset .

This is also a different situation and a feel bad posting here in what can be consider negative comment about nevermind . I will say the knife arrived new as described and with the purchase receipt . He was great and apologized for being late with the knife . If he was selling a knife and I was interested in what he was selling I will buy from him again .

Get well soon .

I saw/read all the recent sales threads from that members account...

I am not sure if anyone but the actual person registered to the account should use it for transactions (not even your wife)
It just doesn't seem like the best idea to me......

This gift thing again...why?!

Regardless of how this ends up, why put yourself in that situation?
I will never inderstand this, just like I will never understand how a seller can't work PP fee's into their price...

Honey, I have some knives I have to ship, can you help me?

If you cannot, will not or won't ask your wife to help while you are laid up then you reap what you sow when threads like this pop up.

For those of us married, knife buying wheeling and dealing is not their business BUT if you need help getting sold items to the buyer and do not want to ask her; ASK A FRIEND
 
Hi All - just wanted to inform that I received my knife from Ryan today. He also sent an email explaining that he had just gotten back from the hospital. Since the accident things have been quite chaotic for him and his family, and there had been some mis-communication with his wife, understandably so in such stressful times.

I now understand from his emails to me that he is a person of integrity and cares deeply about his reputation. This is my 2 cents in support of Ryan, and hope other people have had similar experience.

I had my moments of doubt during the past week, and didn't know what to think in absence of real information, but Ryan came through as soon as he was able to and explained the situation. For me - that is good enough.
 
I'm just looking in from the outside in this case.... If this member is posting sales threads while recovering from is accident, why can't he just as easily post a statement to help explain his situation and ease the pain of his "buyers"?

For whatever it's worth, I've had extremely positive business and personal interactions with nevermind35 in the past. It's unfortunate to hear that him and his family are experiencing a lot of problems recently.

I can't say 100%, but my feeling is that the sell-off of his knives is desperation for money, and that his wife probably is not familiar with the way that online transactions on BF work - we really have a great deal of communication with one another. In situations like this (provided it is true), people are under a great deal of stress, and it's likely that the shipping of the knives is not the top priority.

With that being said, if you're going to take people's money in exchange for a product, you need to deliver in a reasonable time frame and communicate. Hopefully this all works out.

I second this through and through, my knife arrived in good shape and I received an email explanation and apology from Ryan. In retrospect I hope we've all learned a thing or two from this incident. Under these extreme circumstances I think it's fair to give Ryan a pass, I would not hesitate to do business with him in the future.
 
Hello everyone. Well, I'm not sure where exactly to begin... First off, I'd like to say I am truly sorry to anyone and everyone that is personally involved with this, it was not my intention one iota to do anyone harm or to cause any problems at all. I have nothing against anyone here and wish nothing but the best for every member here.

As I'm pretty sure all of you know by now, I was involved in a pretty bad car accident about three weeks ago. I had to spend what felt like an eternity in an Intensive Care Unit, and was just released from the hospital four days ago. Just prior to the accident, I had sold some knives here on the forum and was preparing to send them out to their new owners, however that never happened. Before I got a chance to drop them off at the post office, I was hit head on by a large one ton duelly which was towing a flat bed trailer with a old antique (and extremely beefy) farm tractor. After the accident there was some miscommunication between my wife and I on my part. That combined with the household chaos of having one of the family members missing and sleeping at the hospital was not very conducive to speedy and efficient business practices. I want to really apologize for that. My wife Kristina was helping me with the knife transactions, yet I kind of took for granted how she had zero experience busing or selling knives on Bladeforums and she knew nothing of forum rules and etiquette. I should have gone into a lot more detail on how everything works, she didn't ask me many questions and I figured everything went smoothly without a hitch. I shipped everyone's knives out as soon as I was released and have been emailing back and forth with the individuals involved with this. That said, I wanted to publicly apologize as well. This situation got out of hand and I wanted to let all the forum members know that I am out and (somewhat) healthy. I take knife dealings, whether it be buying, selling, or trading, very seriously and have always prided myself on having a long history of excellent business practice.

I joined this forum in 2009 when I was going through a rough patch in my life and I can say, with positivity, that it helped me through that time in many ways. I had just become jobless due to a company layoff and was not able to find another job for about 4 months. During that time, on any given day, you could have found me here on the forum for an average of about 5 hours. For some reason I really loved this forum. It's kind of sad and embarrassing actually, but I remember one specific time that I thought to myself that getting new knives was pretty much the only thing in my life that I had to look forward to. I knew damn near everything about every little detail of every knife that just came out was going to come out in the near future. Because I had worked hard my whole life and now was unable to find a job, even though I was spending a lot of effort searching, it really kind of hit me hard and depressed me more than I already was.

Im only 28 but have worked very hard for the passed 16 years, ever since my parents would let me. When I was 12 my best friend and next door neighbor, Jacob,(Maybe not so next door, I grew up pretty deep out in the country and his parents house was a 15 minute stroll through the woods, across two creek crossings, and down a narrow trail beaten down by our constant foot travel back and forth every day.) and I formed a small "company" called 'Ryan and Jake's Handyman Services'. It was nothing more than two young boys walking to every house in the area, knocking on the front door and asking the owner if they had any work at all for us to do. We did a little bit of everything, but our main specialty was yard work: lanscaping, weeding, mowing and clearing invasive species from people land mainly. Everyone around there owns at least five acres of property and Blackberry is a huge problem there. If you don't clear every vine out every year, it will quickly take over your land and kill all the small tree saplings and good vegitation that you do want and will quite quickly render your property unmanageable.

We did that for a few years every summer until I turned fifteen and was able to legally pick Blueberries at a small home town Blueberry field down the road a ways. That was my first real job, where I had a boss overlooking me and judging my performance. It didn't pay very well at all, but at that age it felt like a lot of money. And actually it was, considering that I had zero financial obligations.

Once I was sixteen I got my first vehicle, a 90 Ford Ranger (Which I still drive daily to this very day! Luckily I was not in it during the wreck because the car was totalled.) and was able to get a job where I was on payroll, had a set schedule, and had to pay taxes. I've worked since I was 12 except for that four month stretch in 09 due to layoff, and right now because of my injuries obtained in the car accident.

Anyways... I kind of went off on a tangent there, I didn't mean to come here and write an autobiography haha. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that this community is a fantastic place with even more fantastic people and I want nothing but the best for it. I'm kind of a penny pincher and don't have a lot of money so I dont ever sign up for any paid memberships to any other forums or websites or anything, but I've been a paying member here for quite a while and plan to continue to do so. I imagine there are many people here that have gone through or are currently going through similar rough points and Bladeforums has helped them along the way whether it be in a small or big way.

I hope you guys can accept my apology and possibly forgive me. And thank you very much to the people here that have been so caring and helpful who have posted positive experiences you've had with me. Also, thank you RevDevil for having my back and keeping the tone of the thread fairly positive. I appreciate everyone's understanding, thank you very much
 
Oh and if anyone has any questions or needs anything, you can reach me through email at Sebenza 3 @ gmail. com (without the spaces). Thanks.
 
I think the OP should change the title or prefix of the thread, this is no longer a story of deception as originally thought, but instead a story of tragedy and miscommunication with ultimately redemption; it shouldn't be left as a bad mark, simply as a reminder that real people have real things happen that really mess up their lives and that sometimes a little patience can be a good thing.

nevermind35, I appreciate seeing you come here and address the issue in person, the miscommunication was an issue but your accident was far more of an issue and should trump any lack of communication, especially since you explained it as such to those who asked. Glad to see you survived, hope you keep on keeping on and don't let this kind of misfortune affect your stay on the forums, it's a good place overall.
 
Well wishes to you Sir.. Integrity and Follow thru speak in volumes..
All I can say..I wish you well in a speedy recovery and you and your family are in my
thoughts and prayers..

-Keith
