At best, he's looks like a predatory flipper, based on the statements and photos presented here.

Will you be cool and post your shipping paperwork and be done with that part?
 
While there is no 'smoking gun'.....yet. I think what happened here
is getting fairly obvious.
It's really sad to see. I read too many threads like this.
People in the knife world are some of the best people on this planet.
This kinda thing always reminds me, that even among such good people,
there are always (insert words here).
Good luck sechip.
I hate that this will change the way you trust people,
but unfortunatley, it's for the better....Keep your guard up going forward
and look for signs that don't add up.

He's been asked for hours to post his label.
It would settle this, and that's the reason he hasn't....
 
Believe me i would love to hear this guy continue to get flamed here but he just emailed me and said everything is taken care of on his end but also said he tried to call me and i got no call but i left him my number AGAIN and he said
he would call me in the morning.
According to his friend he should call and give me a confirmation number for western union that i can use to get my funds back, but like i said he told me he tried calling me twice and my phone never rang,
And he had no issues calling me earlier.

So is he getting a friend to wire you the money?? Maybe that's better than the brother!
 
Look what I found regarding his Praetorian Ti

What a guy man I knew there was something wrong with this guy!!!!!!

Sechip let me know if you need any of my emails with him as I understand you maybe lost yours.

That kinda seals the deal for me....
Awesome work man.
So sad this has to happen.

Mods, just my $0.02, and I know I am nobody on this forum.

I suggest you change the Exchange rules.

PayPal ONLY (PayPal does an excellent job at buyer protection)
*Absolutely no 'friend' payments allowed*

I think it would go a long way at eliminating many of these issues.
Most of them occur when other payment types are used, or when the
'friend' option is requested by the seller.

Nothing will stop well thought out scams, but that will help.

There whole threads upon threads regarding that brother! Welcome to BF haha we have really awesome members here but you will find this once in a while. Just educate yourself and cover your ass!! You will enjoy it here outside of stuff like this!
 
I know it sounds ridiculous. I will be refunding money in the morning.

You should get banned and please never come back! You are a disgrace to this community. Even tho you are taking responsibility now this should have never ever happened to begin with!!!
 
That goes for buyers and sellers Pellel2. If a seller insists upon being paid via PayPal gift or having some absurd arbitrary percentage added to the total cost, move on. If they have no feedback and ask you to mail a money order to a PO Box, be wary. If you're a seller and somebody gives you a shipping address in the slums of Detroit, pay for signature confirmation no matter what the buyer says. If they ask you to ship to an address several states away from their PayPal confirmed address, be wary. Obviously these don't cover every scenario, but to make a long story short: CYA!

Edited: Might I add....never ship anything too expensive to replace or refund out of pocket without tracking and insurance.

My brother asked to use my account and I let him. He is an addict and was supposedly sober 6 months my problem is I believed him. I broke forum rules by letting him use my account and I will take the ban if that's is what is given to me. You guys will see in the morning I am making this right and taking the loss for my brother. I apologize to everyone on here and will update tmrw when I can give good news and hopefully you guys can understand.
 
I think refunding the money is a mute point to anyone on this forum beside
sechip.
The fact you are selling knives you probably don't even own, or putting up stock
photo's is not something I can personally tolerate.
If that doesn't get you an automatic boot, I am not sure what would....
 
So the ultimate question here is....was the sock new or used?!?!? I'm glad everything came together for sechip and hopefully he gets the money!!
 
Again it was my brother but I let him do it and I am just as responsible. I'm sorry guys. I'm a little upset right now to find out all of this from him and I know I sound full of crap.
