thanx for all the support guys ,what makes it even worse is the fact that a couple of my very good friends are caught up in this crap too .the guy trying to play both ends against the middle .sorry but that dog wont hunt around here.

They guy is a prick. Sorry Vagrant. I know you don't like bad language but that's what the guy is. (If you want me to edit it I will).

Shame to hear something like this again, I'd like to think that the knife collecting community was honest and that we look out for eachother. This is the second story I've heard like this as of lately.

Thanks for understanding Vagrant. I won't make a habit of it.

They are only caught up, because they want to be... Hopefully they both tell the guy to stick it.

If the guy wants to auction his knife, make him do it in a public auction.


BTW- I know this threads situation is different because the knife wasn't advertised for sale, but I would like to see a rule for the buy/sell area that you must state a selling price in your post. None of this best offer stuff. I have nothing against a seller taking a lower offer, but I think not including an asking price can easily turn things into a blind auction. I don't believe the buy/sell area was created for that.

due to some breakdown in communications the guy that gave him the first offer bowed out and the second one has also bowed out due to the stink that it has on it now both guys are stand up dudes in my book

^^^ Yeah that.

Hey Whippersnapper, I can't speak for everyone involved but I was one of the ones "caught up in it". The seller sent out emails to half a dozen guys at the same time. How was I supposed to know? I threw a number out and it happened to beat Freddie's number. As soon as I saw Freddie's post I emailed Freddie then told the guy with the Latama I was out. Nobody did anything wrong but the seller. So when you said "They are only caught up, because they want to be" you are dead wrong. Ask Freddie.

[fastr19]

Isn't that like a blind bid with high bid getting it? I'm not sure what was wrong with this.

[chopper561]

I guess the problem was nobody new it was an auction to start with. I PMed the guy when the knife first went up and didn't hear anything back until last Wednesday when this all went down. I answered his email with an offer and he accepted. Little did I know, he had accepted Freddie's offer hours before. So anyway, I see Freddie's post and emailed Freddie immediately and then we talked on the phone. I emailed the guy and told him he should auction it on S.D. and sent him a link. End of story. No knife is worth a friend, that's for sure.

Wise words to live by.

[whippersnapper]

I didn't mean it to sound like you guys were doing anything wrong, but the post made it sound like there were other guys still involved, even after he had outed the guy.

a couple of my very good friends are caught up in this crap too

I guess I read it wrong thinking the back and forth was still going on.

[chopper561]

No problem Whippersnapper. Just wanted the record set straight!

Couldn't said it better !

Freddie,

I just bid on the knife. I had no idea about the way you were treated or I would have stayed away. If I end up winning this knife (with my current bid) it will be my gift to you, my friend. I would be very happy to extend your magnificent Latama collection!
