Couldn't agree more.

  • Phase 1 -- engaging with DT directly trying to come to a solution = FAILED
  • Phase 2 -- bringing this issue to the public forum and giving DT another opportunity at making it right = It appears this has ALSO FAILED.
  • Time to move on to Phase 3 -- Litigation.

I don't know about anyone else, but as I said I would be moving the Earth to get my stuff or my money back. I know not everyone would be willing to, but I think after 2 years I would probably say screw it and move on. We can't necessarily just keep a thread alive to hammer the board long after the nail has vanished though.

^ I agree, RD.

FWIW- I'm not the type of person who's trusting enough, to ever be giving a $7,500+ possession away, for something in return to be delivered at a future date. Especially knives. I can only assume, that the OP has spent a very long time agonizing with his very poor, very regrettable business decision...much longer than I would've.

With that said. If Dustin Turpin had done this to me, I too would be moving the Earth to get restitution one way or another. Two years and counting, is a very long time, to have an issue like this looming over anyone's head...I personally would've had some type of resolution, or moved on, a very long time ago.

As far as I am concerned, there is value in making a situation public on BF or IG. Will it resolve it? Maybe not. But Turpin did respond in a fashion a couple of days ago and there is no doubt in my mind that it would not have happened if he were not feeling some pressure from posts like this to tell his side, such as it is.

^ There is no doubt in my mind, that Dustin Turpin has read this thread, & that it IS adversely affecting/impacting him! You never know: maybe Dustin will get off of his depressed, lazy ass & finally make your 2 knives, or pay you back, just to quiet you up.

OP: you have the perfect opportunity to deal with Dustin Turpin head on, in 2 weeks (provided he shows up at Blade Show 2016). After 2 long stressful years, you owe it to yourself to finally have some closure & put this situation in the rear view mirror. A round trip to Atlanta & a couple of nights in a clean room, will be much cheaper than any potential legal action. Blade Show on the other hand, might not be so kind to your pocket book. ;) Either way, it might be a win/win situation.

Putting this never ending stressful incident behind you once and for all: PRICELESS! :thumbup:

Best of luck!

It's way past time for legal action. He didn't deliver on time. It's been over a year since the promised delivery date. Pursue legal action.
 
Dustin Turpin will never have my business. I would not take his knives if given to me. The value is zero if a thief is the maker. Shame on you Dustin for giving the knife making profession a bad name by your despicable antics.

I really wish there was more we could do in situations like this, but one thing is for sure the negative publicity is surely overwhelming.
 
I've been in a similar situation in the past. I didn't end up suing and ate the loss. But I regret doing so. You've been more than fair. Anyone in his situation would expect to be sued at this point for non delivery. Don't make my mistake and be the "nice guy" to the point of being taken advantage of and regretting it. It's very inexpensive to file, and if nothing else it puts you back in control of the process and makes you feel a lot less powerless and taken advantage of. Just my $.02

If Op wants to come to blade I'll be more than happy to put your original.suggestion into action for him .

The negative publicity when warranted is more damaging than anything we could possibly do.
I am a big fan of this type of thread, no it hasn't resolved the OP's issue yet, but it's putting a ton of negative pressure on someone who brought issues onto themselves.

By keeping this going, the pressure only mounts, new customers have something to think about, and other people on both sides (those who may get into agreements like this in the future) have things to now consider.

I am sure Dustin will be at blade with a boat load of knives, that would be a wonderful place to resolve this with a good face to face conversation, and to also get the knives the OP is owned.

The internet is one thing, face to face, and people are much different, generally much more polite and sensible.

Meanwhile, I see no reason why as a community we shouldn't continue to ratchet up the pressure, with the way the internet works, it's a viable and useful tool.
 
My blades how buddies, same that I got that custom from.if you remember ,they are all for it considering their occupations if I can do it it'll be covered.

Invite to op stands we are all friends here and we know the area well we could make a weekend of it and bring this to a close.
 
Consider that a win in itself , he wont be making any money .

The fact that the word may get out at the show he's a scam artist may be another reason lol. Op are a member of other forums? Blade forums is big and has a wide reach but there are people that prefer the other 2 of the big 3 forums may be worth a shot creating a membership and copy and paste your experience
 
Hall of Shame No Doubt. What a poor choice of action (or lack thereof) on his part. I will never support the guy.

Did I see a response from Dustin get posted then taken down. It was in my feed, but doesn't show up in the thread. Did something get posted and then deleted?
 
The bit that I can read suggests that he's really struggling with some personal health issues, so in don't feel right publishing what he wrote then apparently took down. It's pretty private stuff that only he should be able to make the decision to share. Not siding with him or excusing his behavior, just not my place to violate anyone's health related privacy.

I am sorry to hear that this happened to you. I just stumbled on this thread from the main page and after reading it I will make sure that I never buy from Dustin Turpin. I also googled his name and this thread came up #2. Hopefully the negative press will motivate him to do the right thing for you.
