Was I ripped off?

I put my buck strider tarani up for trade, and decided to trade it of for a cold steel SRK in carbon V, a few deals fell through and I was anxious to get rid of it.
The guy was new so I researched him and saw he seemed ok, so I offered to ship the knife to him and he would examine it and send me the SRK.
On my inquiring he replied that he had recieved the strider and would be sending of the SRK. This was Feb. 25th, short and sweet.

Hello,

The Buck came in the mail today, I will be sending the SRK.

Thanks

Anyway no SRK yet and I sent an e-mail a couple of days ago and no reply.
Also I am pretty sure I saw him selling an SRK but I can't find it now during my latest recon mission, maybe he edited it?

What do I do, never got ripped off before.

you're good nature may have been your undoing. not to pick on you, but in the future, perhaps you shouldnt send something to an unknown before you get what you are owed.

aside from that, it hasn't been that long. he said he would be sending the srk, which probably means at his convenience, and he is in no particular hurry.

if after a month you still have not received the knife, a thread here would be appropriate. assuming there has been no further contact, of course.
 
He received it on 2/23 and no further communication as of 3/19?! It's been long enough. Send him another round of emails letting him know about the thread here. You can always post his screen, then real name, maybe that will motivate him. I'm sure others will have an opinion.
all da best,
rats...

Sad when you get screwed for being a nice guy and ship first so the other can "inspect" your trade. Soon no one will deal with any newbie members, or at the minimum ship until they get the Newbies side of the deal.
 
I heard back from him, he said it took a month for the buck to reach him, and we both shipped regular post so it should be here any day. I feel much better about it now, except I am not really excited about a cold steel srk anymore.:D
 
I'm glad you heard from him.

The SRK is not an exciting knife. But it's a solid performer, a good backup. It's also a great platform for modding - take off the rubber and put on a real handle, strip the coating and convex the edge. :)
