Hi folks -

One thing that I would add here, in terms of dealing with ebay sellers, I never would deal with a seller who has all of the items for sale listed as "private" when you look at seller feedback.

Additionally, this seller has a couple of customers who have posted feedback saying that the knife the buyer received was a 'replica', and that the seller would not return emails or money.

I normally only buy from sellers with spotless feedback, and ideally the seller will have several hundred sales under their belts.

Case in point - I recently bought a nice Puma Skinner on the 'bay as a gift for a friend.

There were several available for different prices, but I found one seller who had impeccable feedback and many sales. Their price + shipping was not the rock bottom best price, but it was right there.

I bought the knife, and when it was delivered, the knife had a pretty serious blemish on the guard.

I contacted the seller, and they bent over backwards - sending me a new knife on the day that I sent them the return-confirmation number, and the seller immediately offered to pay return shipping as well.

It pays to seek out and patronize the best sellers.

best regards

I buy from Powersellers too. It's worth the extra few bucks. I like the make offer auctions too. I got a really nice "new" BM 890 Torrent buy making a "sane" offer. I have developed 3 guys that I go to anytime I have to use eBay. They know me and vice versa. They have stores, good reps, and a lot to lose from bad feedback. Now I can email them and ask hem for their best price on whatevr knife and they try hard to give me a good deal.

I wouldn't buy from me, even with my 100% positive FB and only about 60 sales last time I looked. :D
 
eastsidekiller hello to the forum. the fakes are flooding our markets & the only recourse is to deal with established distributors. good dist. refuse to handle these crazies, if you need help finding good dist. send p.m.s to various formites & they will steer you in right direction. fellow members certainly aided myself in finding great distributors. dennis
 
Looks like some of us want to act like douche-bags towards anyone who asks for help. thanks for the info about ebay that i already knew...

There's no reason to get upset. You asked for advice and people gave you good advice. When you ask to verify an ebay listing the people here can only assume you are not familiar with fake listings. If you want any knife you see just buy it and see if you like it. If you like it then it was a good deal.

Buy it then. You'll get what you deserve! :mad:

Honestly, you asked for help. Advice was given. It is up to you whether you want to follow the advice or not. People are warning you since many have already been burned by similar situations. If you don't want to hear what the members here have to say, then don't ask.

Agreed! +1 :mad:
 
Well if you posted something asking for help, and someone insulted you because you're looking at a knife which is underpriced on Ebay you wouldn't be very happy either. i asked for a straight answer, "is it fake". i never asked to be insulted. Be mad all you want, but i wouldn't go on one of your threads, and in a round-about way call you an idiot because you asked a simple yes or no question.
 
Enough. The question has been answered. Now this thread has become a place to call each other names.
