I think the Mods have done a great job to try and help Boki. Could he have handled this better - yes, no doubt. But the key here is once again this Oleg character is taking money and not producing knives that were paid for. Once again Oleg lies about shipping knives or refunds. Yet another thread that proves Oleg is not an honorable seller. When will it end? Because, once angain Oleg is continuing to post sales threads on this site. Who will be his next victim?
If only it were that simple. I'm going to PM the other Exchange mods and discuss how we are to handle this. I do not agree with a member selling items while they are obvious deep water. The last person that was allowed to do this ended up getting banned (knifeworks805), because he was unable to provide his services within the time frame that he himself specified. Personally, I do not want any more members to get ripped off.Geez, I happened to catch this thread and read every page. Hope I don't get bashed for saying this but, I have purchased several knives from Oleg. I have never had a problem with him. He always sent the knives promptly. That's why I was blown away after reading this thread. Oleg should refund the guy's money or send him his knife. Pretty simple and easy fix Oleg........make this right, step up and do the right thing.
I will update the thread as I have been with any new info.
So now that boki is banned. How will we know if Oleg ever makes this right?
I look forward to see the results of your conversations Rev.
I think Oleg should "DONATE" a few pieces of his work to blade forums to go up for auction with the proceeds going to a charity.....if he wants to keep his membership here.
Hi Jeff,
It will be interesting to say the least, and definately not easy. I truly wish boki would have just chilled out and cooperated more.
Agree 100%
Rycen has his info and Oleg is not in the clear on this, not by a long shot.
Where is he by the way? [completely a rhetorical question]
For the record, this will still be made right one way or another. It's in Oleg's court now. If does the right thing, we can move on, if not the will be consequences. We've not been too tolerant of bad business practices here.
