Non Receipt Of Knife: Gents Perfect EDC SlipJoint--Blue Siberian Mammoth Ivory

jon, i just read your link. you have described your experience very clearly.
this is bad news for the others waiting to hear. i consider myself lucky as i did receive the pappy knife i bought from his first posting here at BF. an o.k. knife, but not a great one.
so why does this upset me so much ? i'm not sure, but it's something to do with trust. bf members sell and buy knives from each other all the time.
i have bought over 30 knives in these forums and almost all the sellers, being knife knuts themselves, go to great lengths to represent the knife and themselves accurately. this gives the buyer, not only the knife they expect, but the good feeling that comes from 2 strangers treating each other with integrity. basically a "double pleasure".
once you get into this many "excuses", then the fact is: the seller is manipulative and lying about mailing out knives. so, should any of us believe any longer that these knives are made in the manner, or even country, he claims ? i do not.
i think BF should ban such makers from posting anymore knives for sale in these forums, in part so that newer BF, members unaware of the history, will not be victimized.

Perhaps this experience should go into: "The Good, The Bad and The UGLY" forum?

There definitely seems like something is NOT RIGHT in this transaction. If Tim(pappy) was sincere, I think he should have made an appearance in this thread long ago?

i just called his number and no answer. i'll keep trying throughout the day and see if i can find out whats going on.
 
First, let me apologize to those who I have put into a difficult position. While there are reasons that things happen, this set of circumstances should never have happened. I fell down on the job and let things get out of control. None of it should have happened. It is my fault that it did.

No matter what is going on in my business, it should never keep me from doing the things that are basic courtesy in any business situation. There are some not-so-good things happening in my little corner of the world. If I can't keep those things separate from the business, then I should not offer things for sale here on the forums, or any where else.

So, I deserve to be yelled at for what has happened.

I have contacted the people involved and have made my best attempt to make things right.

I've re-arranged my priorities, and my business, so that no matter what it takes, things like this will not happen again if I have any thing to say about it.

I wrote in one letter to a customer the following:

I deserve to be yelled at for the past. I can only hope to work harder, and maybe at some point, to deserve your respect sometime in the future.

So, no excuses. I screwed up.
I'm going to work hard to make sure I don't screw up again.

To all of you, for the new year...............

Keep Care,

Pappy
