Hi BF,
I take no satisfaction posting, but I am done trying to work things out with this user and wish to carry my concerns forward to the community. I'm done trying to seek resolution, my bit can be argued as trivial, but this member has surprised me in many ways and I believe he deserves to be called out, so here it goes.

in short the sf d/a he traded to me was still an open trade with the guy he got it from (i am friends with him have been talking with him, I am keeping him anonymous but he's a established member). Aregee88 traded a red select fire d/a for my friends green sf d/a. What my friend received was a grossly miss represented knife. Sent in a Chinese repro pouch, scratched up knife in really bad shape, and the key sent inside the Sheath adding further scratches to the knife in transit.
My friend wanted his knife back as the trade was no good. During this time, unknowingly on my part, Aregee88 traded me the received knife in qusstion to me while the dispute was still open.
He then sent me an incomplete package on that same SF D/a - missing the original manual that he claimed was included. The manual was still in possession of my friend who forgot to send the manual along with the knife. Even better, my friend told him the manual was a pdf scan with screen shot evidence, however Aregee88 proceeded to tell me it was original.
Weeks go by as Aregee88 continues to tell me the manual is coming, while pretending with my friend that he still has my friends knife in hand for trade back. Finally I get tired of dealing with it, as the original manual as part of this package actually adds a bit of value to the knife I received, and wanted some form of offer of resolution from Aregee88. I pushed him on bf knowing he was lying to me and playing both sides. He realized he was caught and disabled his fb account at this point.
I thinking he deleted his account contacted him again on bf appealing to him to contact me back, as it seemed like he was starting to scam me and my friend in this 3 way screw fest. He, instead of apologizing, gets angry with me saying he's taking a break and offered no response to my questions. 1 week later he comes back to fb and blocks me.
You will see below I offered him a generous period to contact me to work it out as I did NOT want to take this to the community. He is now completely ignoring me.
It's ludicrous to conduct yourself this way over a dam manual. And it is a blasted manual, that I can get over if he was just honest with me about it and apologized. What he did to my friend and all the deception however is beyond acceptable to me. I don't want to see such a member conducting business this way and harming any more members, so here I am to warn the forum.
I require no resolution at this point and will walk away from the incomplete trade, but it boils my blood that he then posts my m2 brend pre prod 1 of 50 knife as my end of the trade up for sale during my attempt to reach out to him as a final middle finger. On fb as well. This is the reason why I'm posting this. That simply took it too far for me. He deserves a call out for that.
Below are some screen snips of the conversation to back up my claims. Keeping my friend anon as it's not my place to out him in this mess.
