Except for the retaliatory feedback, I found no issue with with the situation. In fact, it was nice of you to even consider possibly changing the shipping restrictions. An ungrateful and entitled child's tantrum is what I saw. In any case one member from that debacle is on my ignore list and it isn't you Sir. So no need defending your reputation, it's solid IMHO

Man...what a debacle. (Head shaking)
Here’s how I perceive all BF transactions...unless money has exchanged hands...no deal is in place. Seller has the right to change price at anytime...even in the middle of negotiations. In this particular case, shipping to Canada requires a US seller to physically go to the post office and fill out customs forms. This is time...and time is money. Or perhaps the seller didnt want the hassle and decided to up the price of the knife to its original asking price to deter the buyer from buying. Which is fine. Sucks, but thats how it goes.
As a Canadian buyer, I can see how it is disconcerting to have the price elevated because our dollar sucks and a $50US increase is almost $70 Can. But, if the buyer doesnt like the terms, then no need to buy. Part ways, like respectful men. There is absolutely no need to drag someones name through the mud if no deal has gone down.
Its just a knife...I’d be more concerned about my human dignity.
You guys need to bury the hatchet. You aren’t helping your cases at all here, because there was no deal, therefore no case to be had.
ETA: My opinion...seller does not have to defend himself, and the buyer should have paid the price, or moved along.
For all reading this thread...not all Canadian buyers are this way when purchasing from the USA. Please don’t be quick to judge us based on this one case.

Couldn’t agree more. This was put to bed for me after it was handled by the mod. I was fine. Happy and not butt hurt. This thread started as great info to which it opened my eyes to a couple things. But then. Like magic. Someone had to keep it going and rehash complete BS I thought we were past at this point. But I refuse to be spoken about and not pipe up. Call it childish if you want. But if someone was tarnishing you with compete fabrication. You would step in as well. I have Been BEYOND respectful to those who show it. But I won’t be spoken to like a juvenile who’s crying about candy that never existed

I guess, if it were me in your shoes, I would feel the natural urge to defend and protect my integrity...but this can be done respectfully as well.
To be quite honest, I dont think you needed to defend yourself as I (and probably other BF members) already made my judgement before you had replied. Buyer had no case...period. But I also watch how people respond to attack and how it is handled.
Just saying being respectfully annoyed is ok by me.
If you can’t see the ethical issue then by all means put me on ignore. I don’t like dealing with unethical or what I consider shady selling tactics. I find it funny that some on here think they are the KNIFE WORLD and being on someone’s ignore list will be some life changing event......sorry to disappoint but your not. I will continue to collect and enjoy the hobby as I have for years. So please do as you feel you need and I will do the same all the while enjoying my day.
