Well, to be honest, as much as everyone wishes to label me as a "swindler", I do like to do the right thing in any case. The answer to your questions depends on Mr. Kalandtis's conduct from here on out. By no means am I 100 percent perfect (far from it) but I do and have acknowledged my part in the whole situation whether people believe it was intentional or not. I, even if unawaringly, made those choices and now am having to live with the consequences (the constant piercing of the blade edges getting to be quite cumbersome and the blood dripping from them continuing to weaken my hope that their is a slight chance at redemption) and I accept that.
I suggest he re-read the second half of post #156 in regards to his conduct and take responsibility for HIS part of this transaction gone awry. It was always about principle and never about the money though looking back, not so overtly expressed. Why should the seller always be the one to take the blame for future transactions here on the exchange? CLEARLY seen on the bladeforums policies is a list of good conduct to maintain BOTH by the seller AND the buyer. Just because one member has seniority over another and large history of knife collecting doesn't make it right for him or her to treat the seller any which way he or she chooses and break numerous BF policies in the process. Mr. Kalandtis even states his own whole-hearted belief in putting full trust in members. Yet, when a member with a proven clean record proceedes to do business with him, he immediately abandons all that honor and trustworthiness. Just so happens I happen to be the one to receive it. When I call it out and specifically ask him about it, he avoids it and instead lists a general statement regarding "respect" on the forums and that he is trying to "help" me. What happened to that "respect" when he initially had concerns with the knife? If he was really trying to "help" me, wouldn't it of been more effective to have shown me that "respect" in the beginning and gave me some advice on how I could have done better next time? So for this and the fact that at the time I initially believed listing the item correctly and accurately, I leave it in the hands of a third-party, trusting their objective opinion vs. the subjective opinion of some/ most members here reading the thread (no offense intended). Afterall, by the buyers, words and actions this is where he preferred it to be.
