just out of question, what is the spine thickness, because the grind looks very steep comapred to the standard woodlore?

good luck with the sale.

 

[storah]

Hi,

The spine is about the same as a standard Woodlore slightly thicker towards the bottom of the handle of the knife!

Thanks

Bump for the weekend!

Well done on the sale Storah, I hope you got something near what you wanted for it. The market's not exactly rife at the moment since the ebay ban.

 

[spitfire5054]

Hi Storah
Looking forward to receiving my purchase in due course. It has been an easy transaction,
apart from my email issues.
Best wishes for the future.

Spam,

I don't see the issue.

Chap joins, pays Tony a few bob for the upkeep of the site, sells a knife and is never to be seen again. (If this is the case).

Everyone a winner! A grand less than the first one to go on eBay too.

There seem to be a lot of people taking offence on here about people doing things differently from 'the norm'.

I'm happy for the buyer and seller, who seem to both have got what they want from this.

 

[spamel]

I just think it is a case of taking advantage. We all know the argument from selling on eBay which has since been banned. Spend a few quid to sell your kit to people who want it and rip them off at the same time, it just doesn't sit well with me is all. I'm not getting worked up about it, I just doubt he will ever return, unless he has another knife to sell.

I'm with Dougster, if someone wants to drop a few quid in BCUK's coffers to make a single sale, then go for it. The only concern I have is that sooner or later there's going to be a fraudulent transaction (just as everyone got worried about the authenticity of this particular knife), but that's no different from eBay.

That was going to be my next point. When somebody drops Tony a tenner or whatever to sell here, and then the deal goes bad, who is to blame? Not BcUK, it says so in their rules. You either have to be very trusting or very stupid to buy off somebody who is posting for the first time on a faceless, untraceable form in a forum on the internet. If it goes well, good luck to you, but if it goes wrong then you'll complain and everybody here will be on your side and get worked up about it all, but whose fault will it all be?

 

[tobes01]

Sadly it's caveat emptor all the way - I'd hesitate to buy a high-value item from a brand new BCUK member because they've not built up a reputation. Knives are a tricky one because there's nowhere obvious to go if you're selling (other than BB) now that eBay won't touch them.

 

[John Fenna]

Selling is just as bad!
I have been burned by folks buying from me and then not getting the money to me!
Hi Logit!

 

[Humpback]

Just a thought. Why not stop picking over these particular bones*.

Tony if your looking is this thread is past its sell by date?

* and give people some credit for making their own grown up decisions (good or bad).

Now I am confused. You want people to be able to make their own decisions as grown ups, yet there are young people on these forums and this is the reason a new members videos were recently taken down and posts are removed to protect the young and innocent.

So what would have happened if a young person (18 maybe, a bit naïve perhaps) had bought the knife and got ripped off. There is no minimum post count to sell something and that knife is worth a lot of money, so any random person can come here with a 250 quid knife, pay a tenner to sell it and walk away with an extra 200 quid, and could then not bother sending the knife. People get mugged off all the time, and don't you think with eBay's ban on knife selling, this may start to happen more and more and eventually an unscrupulous person will be in here ripping forum members off (That sounds painful! ) and it could become a regular occurrence. I'm not saying it will happen, but the odds are on that it could, and if people get used to a person joining, selling and never coming back and the deal works fine, then eventually people will become blase about worrying if they will be ripped off.

I am still owed a Leatherman Wave and Innova torch from a member of British Blades who was a Moderator there! I had absolutely no reason to mistrust him, sent the items off in good faith to have a sheath made for them both and never saw my goods again. His sister was also a Moderator there, and she has done the same thing to others. If I can be ripped off by somebody who had that sort of a standing on an internet forum and who many people trusted and respected, don't you think it is possible that a new member could do the same?

Prehaps spitfire could come back on here when he recieves his knife...
