Well, once again, I've got a large handfull of ordered knives finished and can't get e-mail responses from the orderers. Over half the knives this time have not responded in three weeks to at least three e-mails. This is getting rediculous. I'm very understanding of financial situations in todays economy, and don't mind selling the knives if someone can't take them. I've never tried to force anyone to take a knife. But to just make me e-mail you again and again is complete and utter bullshit. I have bills too. I got laid off also.
I refuse to take funds up front, as I am not a banker, and don't want to have anything to do with being responsible for someone elses money. It is the fastest way to kill a knifemaker's reputation, and puts the maker in a weak position WRT impatient order placers. (Who eventually, at least 50% of the time don't pay anyway.)
I am temporarily suspending order taking.
