Just received a knife that was mint but the sender package very poorly,he sent it in a bubble package in which the handle ended up with 2 big chips,it was a trade /plus cash for 400.00 and to be a display with the rest of my collection,,sent the trader a email with pictures the knife is a artic white HH55 is there anything i can do ??touch up paint,,if its dura-coat i can fix ,or does it need to be sent back to the Busse spa which im sure will be costly and time consuming,,does anyone have a answer for me Im bumming bad

Got some pics of it Gary? Never seen an arctic white HG55.... I think you should just use the heck out of it, not worry and when its time send it in to the spa (like over the winter) for a few months and it will come back better than new.

I almost traded for that one, glad I didnt now.
Gary, Ive sent a few in, takes a cpl months and cost like $30, beat it then send it back for a recoat :thumbup:
 
The deal is not done unless both parties are satisfied. The sender's job was to package it right so that you got the mint knife you wanted. Return it for him to make it right or reverse the deal.

He makeing good,he's sending 80.00 back for used condition and not mint conditions,,He's a collage kid,I have one, not in my heart to be ruff with him,320.00 for a lightly used HH55 is fair market value and the young man learned a lesson dont send any collectable in a bubble envelope with no pretection with'in,The shop will make it mint again,after shipping fee i think were looking over 100.00,whats going to stink is the waite im sure their their backlog,correct me if im wrong,
 
I always think its a shame for any busse not to be a user! Why collect the ultimate use/abuse knife only to let it rot in a safe... It's annoying because it pushes up the prices for those of us who need real beaters...

Not as annoying as when people get annoyed over something someone does with there own personal goods :p:D
 
Haha, fair enough! But there are plenty of other collectible knives without busse toughness to collect... Having said that the collectors make it a more 'liquid' secondary market for the rest of us, so there's an upside :)

Like to say I dont have safe queens my knives are on display and i have a few doubles for useing as for prices being raised it the sellers hopeing to get that top dollar and the buyer buy them for a higher price,which creats the prices being pushed up,,,its not the collectors, a true collector like my self Very seldom sell their knives,,I say 95% of my knives i'll never sell.
 
I can't believe how some people ship stuff. I had an FBM LE in mint condition sent to me in nothing other than a USPS flat rate box wrapped one time, not taped, in small bubble wrap. Lucky for me the knife didn't blast out the side and get damaged or worst yet, injure a postal worker. Some guys need to be more careful... just because these are our toys doesn't mean they are toys :) WOW.

Please ship responsibly :). My new ad campaign :D

A good campaign it is. I got one of the rarest spydercos Ive ever owned (of HUNDREDS) just as you describe the other day. Not cool. Believe it or not, I sent a test team killa zilla in bubble mailers once (of course it was safely wrapped) and the buyer commented on the bulletproof packaging. I was in a rush with no box so I made do and boy did i :D
