I'll start this off by saying If I have/had the opportunity to do the right thing I always take it. I love Blade Forums and have done my best to be a upstanding member over the years. Tried my hardest to make sure every single person I've ever dealt with here is satisfied with anything and everything I trade, sell or buy. This is bar none the best knife related forum on the net and all the members I have dealt with have been stand up individuals.
Today I had first claim in a thread and followed up with a PM as required by the seller. JLVL had second claim. For some reason the seller overlooked my claim and sold to JLVL. I sent a polite PM to the seller asking if he'd be willing to help me out with the first claim and a polite E-mail to JLVL politely asking him if he'd be willing to do the honorable thing and honor the first claim in the thread. JLVL didn't respond while Stick06 did and said he accepted money from JLVL. It'd be easy enough to refund the funds though PayPal and I asked him to, I was even going to offer a few extra dollars for any inconvenience but got no reply after that. I fully understand the final decision is the sellers but was just hoping for the same courtesy I've shown BF members I've dealt with.
Perhaps I'm reading to much into this but this forum is built upon honesty, courtesy and honor. If sellers and buyers start undermining it that's not good for the community at large.
