New Auto Knife Website

I think most of us would recognize these knives from BA, where vendors like Zaback and several others offer them for less.

Mr. Blade Runner is correct! A LOT less!

They must buy them from Michelle or Brenda and mark them up 50%.

Mr. Vagrant,

I agree! Looks like Mr. dkochan is trying to start his own little business - Methinks he should advertise elsewhere! Apparently, he thinks we are all stUPid!

Also, he has a lot of nerve trying to sell his overpriced clones on SKM's website! A check of his profile shows the website he urges us to "checkout" belongs to HIM!
Mos' SLEAZY!

Mr. dkochan,

CHECKOUT THIS!

Hello everyone,

Yes, you are correct. I built and own the e-commerce website, Edited I apologize if I offended some f ... url]edited". However, what is wrong is with promoting my website? I would be happy to pay for a reasonably-priced banner ad.

In regard to my prices Zaback is definitely cheaper than me. My guess is that he is probably an importer because I compared my prices with other websites that sell automatic "clone" knives. In comparison to these websites my prices are equal or cheaper.

JerrBear,
I'm not going to be too critical of him. I have mentioned once or twice [probably more] that I sell knives. I don't have a web-site but if I did I might post that, although I'd do it a little more straight forward. We live, we learn and I've leared lot's of things the hard way. If he stays up front
with us from now on, I welcome him. He has to know we all [or most of us at least] know the going price on anything that cuts. Many [most] of us
have done some importing so what's a bargain to some may not impress us. This is a tough growd to sell to so he ain't going to get rich here, but if
he wants to talk knives he will have a good time.
For the record I think my previous post was rougher than it had to be, and
that proves I make mistakes.

Mr. Vagrant,

I don't think you were "rough" at all - You are way too diplomatic!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have NEVER seen you hustling business on this Forum...

On the other hand, directing people to your own switchblade website on this Forum is tantamount to setting-up an (over-priced) hamburger stand in a McDonald's parking lot. Sleazy and just plain WRONG!

David (dkochan)
For the time being I have deleted and edited your posts. I would suggest that you ask permission of the site owner (Dexter) prior to promoting your sales website.
Thank you, Daniel

Daniel,

I agree with your actions. AB/SKM is good enouth to provide this forum for us to use for free, and I for one am thankful. Perhaps I am more sensitive to this fact than most others because I do not even feel comfortable making positive comments about a competitors product unless it is of a type where SKM does not directly compete.

JerrBear,

Good point about Vagrant not being self-promoting. On another post I made a comment about the use of this forum to share experiences about suppliers, so I will do so now. Since Vagrant won't promote himself, I will. I have bought from him several times, SKM knives and some Germans. Great prices, great service, and a description of any flaws for a given knife before you commit to buy (so you can decide whether you want a given knife or not). This is the level of service of of the expensive sources, with the prices of the inexpensive ones.

Jim

Now I'm blushing.
Thanks
