From what I recall someone named shao.fu.tzer was banned for not registering as a dealer while the user Slatts has quietly gone on to become a powerseller under the name SANDRADS while CONTINUALLY selling in the for sale forums. That doesn't seem very fair if shao.fu.tzer was indeed banned for selling on Ebay. Sandrads sales seem to surpass plasticandsteel's meager earnings. Anyway, I made a CONCRETE deal and with and PAID this hypocrite and he/she (Shawn/Sandra) tried to raise the price on me because they recognize me from Ebay. Not cool.

Trolling, trolling on the river..............................
No you didn't refuse, you raised the price. AFTER I paid you through Paypal you demanded $30+ more. Our dealings on Ebay were decent and I have nothing against you. I just wonder why one person can be banned for not paying $700 a year for a dealer's account when someone else is doing the same thing to a greater degree. Shao sold all of 3-4 knives on this forum. Slatts regularly has a full listing. The amount plasticandsteel earns on Ebay doesn't even earn them the badge Powerseller. Do you understand what I'm saying? I'm part of a group of people who think shao.fu.tzer being banned was unfair. I am not Shao, but a close friend. They're hard working people who are putting themselves through school and barely have enough money to eat every night. I would like others to see that he and his girlfriend have done no worse than many other "respectable" members of the bladeforums community, and that it's unfair to ban him based on what has happened.

There are others on this board that agree with me. There are plenty of upstanding members of the community who think it's ridiculous that someone who is lucky to profit $50 in one week be forced to pay $700+ just to remain a member of an open forum. Ever help a friend? Let me guess, with your attitude, you must not have many.
You're so full of shit. The paypal you sent me was from the same address as plasticandsteel when I've sold to you off of ebay. I have no control who buys from ebay but I do have control of who buys from me on bladeforums. I would never sell to you willingly you scum. The vast majority of my wife's and my sales on ebay have been for horse tack and children clothes.

Not without jacking up the price first. My theory - you figured plasticandsteel was going to turn a profit on your knives so you decided to raise the bar a little so you wouldn't feel so bad about your lost potential income. How old are you?

I don't really know about margins because I don't keep track of those details. I sell knives in order to buy more knives. But I'd wager that my margins are probably higher than whatever margins you make because you're such an insufferable imbecile.
SeamusL said:
Please do not preach to me. I read english. I can also see time stamps on posts, and edited posts. You did not disagree with Slatts when he said you were Shao, so I said you must be. Thats all.
I recommend you cool down and stop posting for now. Things will get said in anger/frustration that need not be said.
FROM SANDRA/SHAWN:
Seamus,
I see from your paypal account that you're plasticandsteel from ebay. I'm as much in favor of someone trying to make a buck as the next guy but I am not willing to sell you these knives at that price for possible resell on e-bay. I dropped the price because my intent was to sell these to another bladeforums member who is a serious collector of discontinued benchmades.
For you the price is $375 plus paypal fees, or $386.25 total. Please send an additional $31.65 if you want the knives.
If you do not want to move forward that's okay too. Just let me know and I'll return your initial paypal payment.
------------------------------------------
It took 2 days of e-mailing to get my refund
I also told him these knives were for me and that I didn't have a PayPal account of my own so I had to use Shao's. So your price hike is meaningless.

I have not not actually sold or traded with Slatts,but the two times I've contacted or been contacted by Slatts. One was to consider purchasing a knife of mind, and the other was to trade for a knife of mind, possibly by not sure. The point being, I don't understand what a power seller or buyer for that matter, would be doing nickel and dime trades with some a like me for, does that make sense.
It takes all of a few minutes to get an ebay account. Less time and energy than you have probably spent fussing here in fact. That makes no sense to me. Get your own account. I wouldn't let my mother use my account because its not necessary. First of all you never know what kind of mess they'll end up getting you into while your back is turned but second of all its absolutely rediculous to even ask someone to do that IMO. Did you sign on tonight using someone elses screen name maybe?
Slatts is a good and decent man. He need not explain himself or get all defensive about anything. Slatts. Water off a duck man. Let this one go you have nothing to hide or worry about.

Slatts,
I have no real issues with you besides the fact you tried raising the price on a done deal, you're just getting defensive because you don't want to get banned like you in all fairness should be.
I also think it's ridiculous how everyone thinks because someone pops in and knows someone who was banned they instantly assume it's that person. I have another bladeforums account that I've had for over 3 years now and won't touch this subject with it because we all live in fear of the ban now. It's sad that some people need to use another account just to voice their opinion. As for Shao, as many can attest, there are few people better to have as a friend. So Slatts, good luck to you in your Ebay Powerseller future. Since you care so much about Bladeforum members getting good deals (yet your prices are right at Ebay prices or spot on counting fees) I'd better not stand in the way of your mighty crusade. Continue to give knives to the poor underpriveleged forum members for DIRT CHEAP prices. Continue my brother, and stop pointing the finger at me instead of dealing with your own problems. (Better start saving for that dealer membership)
