SpyderPunk - Use caution

Ok just as an update as of Saturday morning (before mail delivery):

No Knife from SP.

No email from SP with the delivery conirmation #.

I'll update this thread when I get something. And BTW, Cougar, thanks for your even words and moderating influence.
 
How much was that knife? Anyway, I don't know your laws, but here if you stole something you can be reported to the police from 1 or multiple individuals. The more people report you, the faster police come get you.

Maybe just 2 days is a bit soon to be worried... If he sent out on the 7th the knife must be still traveling.
 
Just to clarify a few things.First off,I was in no way meaning to say anything negative about Spyder Punk personaly, I was only refering to his actions and interactions,I do not know him personaly so I could not make those judgements. I am a very direct and straight foward person so sometimes I get harsh in the way I express myself so with that in mind I'm sorry if I personally offended Spyder Punk.Second I am not missing any knives but you DAVEH are and I was only standing by you and the rest of the group here because I feel it is part of my responsibility when someone is mistreating you.You DAVEH said nothing positive twards my support and I guess thats the way it goes. Cougar as for stating just the facts I guess I didn't do that so well so let me try again. My first incounter with SPYDER PUNK was for a SF E1 that I had.Spyder Punk wanted to trade me for a few items.He told me the SF he has was all messed up and beat up so thats why he wants a new one. The next day he posted the SF that he has and said it was in NEW condition.I replied and asked if it was the same one that he just told me was all beat up, he said yes but he had fixed it up with paint and it was just fine but couldn't afford batteries for it. I wrote him back and said" Dont tell people you have a new surefire if you and I both know it's not. I told him that I would be glad to send him some batteries so he wouldn't have to sell it in a deceiving way." From that point forward I felt uncomortable with Spyder Punk.When this thread was started by DaveH I felt an obligation to stand up for DaveH and speak my mind. I guess you just live and learn.The gentleman that spoke well of me in this thread are what it's all about. COUGAR I hope this is more of the facts that was expected and if not please let me know and I will surely delete this and be on my way! Thanks Mike
 
Well,Masterchef,it would seem by the situation you detailed about the Surefire, I would say if that does not cast Spyderpunk in a negative light I don't know what will.He new the light was beat up,but then covers up some problems with paint of all things,and then advertises as new.I can be 15 years old and still have integrity,and it appears this young fella has along way to go to find some.As stated before he was not 18,did not have money to return ship,did not communicate, he should not have participated in the passaround.I support young people with interest in this hobby,but mommy or Daddy should be doing transactions.Only kids that show honesty,integrity,responsibility should be playing with sharp objects.He is putting people at great risk and liability by having knives shipped to him.I think any flaming he gets over this is well deserved imho.
 
I do not know nor have I ever had any dealings with masterchef, but from everything I have read he is a man of honor and someone that I respect. After reading about what Spyder Punk did in the advertising of a beat-up Surefire as new, I can not say the same for him. That does not sound like trying to be honest and good to me. If that is doing your best Spyder Punk, then that says a lot right there.
 
Thanks COUGAR ALLEN , TOMBSTONE,& Keith.I really appriciate your support and honesty. I am not looking to destroy this young man at all I just want him to keep it honest and straight as I told him the first time we talked. I have children and Grandchildren and I would expect the same from them as I do from Spyder Punk. Thanks again to all of you. Mike
 
ok let me correct something, i never said it was beat up, i just said it was missing paint and had no batteries thats it, but i painted and said it looked new and it did. and thats was a long time ago. i signed up for the passaround almost a year ago and at that time i had money for shipping saved up but now i dont. so i had to wait a little longer to be able to ship it. im trying my best and im not going to rip Anyone off.
 
I don't know how much you guys pay attention to music, but the reference to Kurt Cobain, and the truth must be heard is somewhat telling...talk about a %&*$ed up individual.

But hey, I like the Doors

I just noticed that, Spyder Punk was about 6 years old when Kurt Cobain blew his "own" head off. ;)

Time does certainly fly.


I like The Doors as well.

Why? Because he killed himself?
 
i say three to one the knife is gone/never to be seen again, hope i'm wrong, but my lord this has been going on forever, why dont the kid go ask his parents for a few bucks to ship it (less than $5 i would say)or whoever sent the knife needs to call the parents and tell them to ship the knife, if not, imho ya might as well kiss it goodbye..............good luck

No knife or communications again from SP.

I will call again tonight. I will be contacting Ira for help if this doesn't get resolved.
 
I've been reading this thread with some interest. Let me make a comment. Over the years I've had a number of desired transactions go bad becuase of the parties I was dealing with couldn't, wouldn't or didn't deliver on their end. A "common" trait a lot of those people had was that they were pathological liars IMHO.

PS seems to exhibit the same trait, as he always sees "his problems" as caused by someone else, and has his own unique perspective on a situation. This is manifested in the stories he weaves, and I'm sure he is the only one who honestly believes his own stories. In his mind he's always the "wronged" party. And he'll keep fabricating these stories to defend his actions as he sees fit.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the return of the knife. His dog probably ate it.;)
 
Keith,
Regarding Kurt Cobain and SP.

I was not a fan of Cobain’s but I had some younger kids working for me that were at the time of his death, the following excerpts are from interviews and articles written before and after his demise, some are from his journal. This is aside from the fact that normally well-adjusted folks don’t have a heroin problem

· Cobain, 27, was found dead on August 8 1994 with a gunshot wound to the head. His suicide note read, "it's better to burn out than fade away"
· At that point, he was also the biggest rock star on the planet - a scrawny figure from the small northeastern logging-town of Aberdeen, seventy miles from Seattle, whom fate had transfigured into a messiah of misery, a poster boy for the punk-metal hybrid known as 'grunge'.
· The 10-year-old children seem intuitively to grasp that Kurt Cobain was the perfect rock star - a good-looking misfit, a rebel without a cause, a man-boy with a voice like howling sandpaper. Like James Dean - and like Dean's great disciple Elvis Presley - Cobain was a smalltown punk trashing American values, refusing to conform. Like every other significant rock performer, his act was anchored in dysfunctionality.
· (The original title for 1993's mordant, anti-commercial album In Utero was I Hate Myself And I Want To Die.)
· Cobain describes himself at 13 as 'a rodent-like, underdeveloped, hyperactive spaz who could fit his entire torso in one leg of his bell-bottomed jeans'.

The list could go on and on. My point being is that if this man (Cobain) is your hero, where is your head at SP.
I agree with dullone, he seems to have a good read on SP’s thought process. It can’t my fault I don’t have 5 bucks, it is your fault for expecting me to be responsible.
 
Unfortunately I have been noticing a trend for awhile now in the juvenile age group where they are constantly blamimg someone else for their problems and screw ups. Someone else is always to blame for their complete lack of respect for another person or their property. It is pretty common to take a juvenile to detention and have them spouting all about how it is someone else's fault that they are in the situation they find themselves in, just as if someone put a gun to their head and made them do whatever it was. A whole lot of this goes back to how the individual was brought up by the parents.
 
Hi guys! I don't get into the spydies that much but I have read this thread...twice actually...and would like to offer a solution.

SP...Give me your address and I will send you a $5 Money order so that you can ship the knife back to Dave. Then you get started trying to restore your honor in this forum.

Bear in mind that if we do this and you fail to hold up your end of the deal...all hell will probably break lose in the name of SP!

Think about it!


Editied cause I fail to spell correctly!
