Guys, how about instead of making a farce of the situation, try to treat the matter like it was your own. Or go to Whine & Cheese to play games.

Fair point. My apologies.

I'm willing to do more than treat it like my own.

OP, if you don't get a satisfactory resolution from the seller I would be more than willing to purchase the knife from you at your original purchase price. I'm an intrigued by the action on this knife and would like to experience it.

Feel free to PM me

Superhuman strength and flexibility, for sure. I also admire the deep cut on the guy’s index finger pad.

This is NOT an opinion regarding the OP's situation. This is a comment about the common misconception that "a deal is not a deal until both sides are happy" is a rule. It is not a rule on Blade Forums. And just to be sure, I reread ALL the BF rules again before posting.

Again, this is not a comment or my opinion on how the OP's situation should be handled. This is not my opinion about whether or not "a deal is not a deal until both sides are happy" is right or wrong. It's just stating the fact that this is not a rule.

A very good point.

This right here should settle everything and make everyone happy. Kudos to Kevin W. Kevin W.

I immediately contacted sickwitt, explained my problem and asked to return the knife for a refund- Compensating him for any cost incurred.

He refused. No Refunds. Not mentioned in the For Sale Listing.

“Just because you don't know how to open a knife is not my fault. No refunds.”

I’ve had transactions here before that didn’t work out but we were able to resolve the issue amicably to both parties satisfaction.

Thank you for the heads up!

@sickwitit

We'd like to hear from you on this matter...

The fact that the seller in question, gives his buyer's only 1 payment option (PPFF), factored in with his arrogant "I don't give a $hit- go pound sand" response/attitude, after the OP reached out...

And then after all that, he couldn't even be bothered to take a couple of minutes, to come here and address this situation (HIS SALE) with his side, after being tagged and asked nicely by 1 of our Moderator's. <This right here tells me all that I need to know about this persons highly suspect character/complete lack of ethics.

PAYPAL FRIENDS & FAMILY ONLY: When are the foolish idiots here ever going to learn? The advent of the internet has made the scammer's job, (ripping off foolish dumb people) just so damn easy.
 
No worries, KELAMA KELAMA

He's on our radar now, and the fact that he did not deign to respond to either my PM, or request here in the thread, has not gone unnoticed by either Boru13 Boru13 or me.

Things have a way of getting resolved...one way or another...

How would using PayPal G&S change this scenario? He paid for the knife and received the knife. Maybe he didn't like the action once he received it, but did he really get ripped off?

I'm sure PayPal is just refunding everyone these days :rolleyes:
 
Seems like the buyer was/is tire kicking. The exchange is NOT the place to “buy and try”. Go to an actual dealer if you just want to try out the action and return it. “Action is amazing” is extremely subjective, as previously mentioned. If spydie flicking a knife is a prerequisite, I’d recommend only buying Spydies.

The fact that this guy feels that he can simply ignore/blow off a Moderator's inquiry (your PM), makes his already indignant attitude, even more, in your own word's: "frustrating."

2 last things I'd like to address before giving this thread/Mod's a well deserved break and heading out the door on this beautiful Sabbath:

1. The OP, is a long time reputable member; a member I've always looked up to as being very level headed, highly respected, and reasonable. < This says a lot when I look at a situation like this, with the other party not even having the decency to weigh in with his side here, when asked by the Staff to do so.

2. Then I thought to myself, what the heck is even a, "sickwitit," anyway? So I Googled "sickwitit" and came up with this Youtube rap video. I listened to the lyrics and the "Sorry Not Sorry" caption.....and I thought: "Wow," how fitting, this & is exactly what I would expect in relation to his shady M.O. here as a seller here...." < Just my opinion FWIW

"sick wit it" < Gotta love this place- You can learn something new here almost every single day. 🫵 💯

Theoretically as product recieved not as described/not satisfied. I don't know if it was or was not, but that would be how it would need to be filed-I believe.
With G&S you can at least file, then see what happens. PP can be fairly generous to buyers with others money
Just by filing the seller may have conceded to a return.

I don't see a basis for making that presumption. Why not presume he bought in good faith and attempted to return in good faith when he found that it was not something he could manipulate?

I find it somewhat surprising how quickly some folks are willing to disregard and turn on their fellow members.

Well, I'm not surprised by such when it comes from members whose only interest on this site is selling. (They know who they are.)

While I 100% with this as a general statement, in this specific situation and transaction, I think that the negative feedback from both parties is warranted.

This thread has helped bring light to the seller's view on refunds. It has also shown that the buyer has certain requirements for keeping a knife that others may not. Each is helpful for members when conducting further transactions.

While the seller has not commented in this thread it should be noted that the OP has been active this morning and has not taken me up on my offer either.

Food for thought

While I've wondered why the OP hasn't responded further in the thread and specifically to your offer, I'm trying to understand what conclusion or inference can be drawn from his not (yet) having taken you up on your offer.

That he is content with the knife and is going to keep it?

That he is in contact and negotiating with the seller?

I can see no benefit to him in keeping the knife and not taking your offer unless he wants it...or...can sell it for more than he has in it if it isn't being returned.

Maybe I'm just missing something here.

Or he thinks the knife is faulty and should not pass it on.
Regardless he should address the offer one way or another.
It was a very generous offer as well as a solution to the conflict.

If that's the case, that should have been made more clear, imho. But I guess it still remains a possibility. Thanks for mentioning it.
