Do any of you ever use blade auction anymore?
I've had only one real bad experience on BA and a couple of knives have been mediocre. Most have been satisfactory, especially considering the price. I think it's fine, and oftentimes educational, for the beginning collector to daly with BA. I was wondering what some of your experiences have been using BA. Anyone ever get a really good deal?
Props to Dan-O the Ritalin Kid for my last BA purchase. A really tight and shiny 11' dark horn dagger. Thanks Danny.

Mr. Majorsteve,
I have learned that what-u-see-is-what-u-always-don't-get. If ya don't ask the questions, then ya may be getting the short end of the stick. My #1 question is: Is that the actual knife? I would have to say our superstoner next door neighbor is right! Huh Mr. Joint-Man!
Best Regards,
Bonz

I've only had one less than satisfactory experience on BA. It was with rayjay but it appears from the rating comments (with one notable exception) that everyone else loves the guy. I bid on a blonde horn "Handyman Special" with a loose blade. The cracks in the scales weren't mentioned. I sent him a message but it wasn't worth the trouble returning the knife. Also BA discourages negative comments - by removing them.
I sell and buy on BA quite often and so far I had only a few customers that did not pay. Otherwise my experience was good. I too posted some negative feedback (for those who bid high but never paid) and it was never removed. I once had a customer threatening me that he would post negative feedback for me from several of his BA accounts if I do not send him an extra knife for free (since his knife was delayed a bit)... but that is about one in a hundred I guess.
