I know the feeling of frustration that time wasted brings, believe me. The offer stands, if you need some help or whatever, let us know. Like I mentioned before, for every one person that flakes out there are a few dozen if no more solid folks that do honor their word. :thumbup:

Really?
Anyways, my personal opinion on it is that when you say "deal" and exchange information for shipping, it's too late. To me, that's the same as selling a knife, and then deciding you want it back or buying a knife and deciding you want your money back. If the knife has already been shipped, you need to send yours and then start looking for a replacement for it if you want another.

I agree with you, but whatever. I have always worked out the details, and both ship at the same time. I always exchange phone numbers, facebook, and stuff like that. I guess the person had a high value knife stolen from him. I can see why he is the way he is. At the same time you cant go about things like you are a special and unique snowflake and have people bend over backwards for you.
The difference is you are a business. A trader is someone who wants to barter.
I owned my own Buisness, and I had tough times with people paying off there bills. But since a few people were delinquent/Didnt pay off there outstanding balance. I didn't make it harder for others to do business with me. You got to take the good with the bad. I found the good people out in the world outweigh the bad.

, but nice catch :thumbup: 
So related story. I sold a Busse Combat Culti around a year ago, maybe closer to a year and a half. I forget the buyer's name except he was in Ohio. I sold the knife as mint and unused. Shipped the knife, he received it, all was well, for about 2 seconds. Somehow I missed a finishing mark on the micarta scales where it left a nasty "ledge", plus there was some super light scuffs near the tip, hard to see but there.
I work with and on guns for a living so I'm usually good about nit picking stuff hard core, messed up screw heads, blueing/nickel marks, wood flaws, checking dents, etc. but somehow I let that slip. I refunded the buyer on faith he was right (which he was when I received the knife back), and he was more than generous and paid for shipping on the way back to me even though with the flaws he didn't have to.
So anyway, even with a lot of good experiences, there are going to be some bad. Just like regular life. This is our hobby, our passion, some times we win, some times we loose. In the end though, we just have to enjoy it

Found out he did not ship it back just refused the package.?.?.?. Now due to the tracking limitations I have no idea whats going on with the box. My guess Im out my Benchmade. He was burned once, so now he burns another. Hope that makes him feel better. What a douche.

Now there's an idea! I'm pretty sure your choice of this forum was the source of your problem
