Good morning, Bladeforums:
I recently had a bad experience with hundo760.
He posted a Koenig Arius for sale at $600.00, stating it was "pretty much BNIB." I replied back in thread that I would take it. He immediately came back to me saying that someone else on IG wanted it and that I could have it for $630.00. I should have moved on right there, but I wanted the knife.
I agreed to the $630.00. Then he came back and asked me to do F&F. I refused. He replied back said G&S was okay. I sent funds Paypal G&S.
Next day, he asked for more money to cover G&S, because he didn't calculate correctly.
I replied that I wasn't paying any more for the knife, and that he could send the knife or refund the money. He sent the knife.
The day the knife is out-for-delivery, he sends me a DM and says that he wanted to let me know a screw was missing and I could contact Koenig for a replacement. I replied back that I would ask for a refund for whatever money it cost to get a replacement pack of screws sent to me.
I received the knife and it is not BNIB or anywhere close to it. It's obviously been carried, with scuffs and snail trails on the blade face, handle, and pocket clip.
I know that I shouldn't have let my want for this knife go over the initial warning signs this seller gave.
I've submitted a case via Paypal. Thank goodness I didn't agree to send F&F.
Now I'm afraid this seller is going to retaliate and give me revenge negative feedback for opening a case against him.
Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks.
Here's the original sales thread (which has since been edited):
