seriously, I am still very bitter. I just got an E-mail from the gentleman (and he is one fine gentleman) who ended up with those two Spydercos.
Whether they are $100.00 knives or $1,000.00 knives, you
should be able to "trust" another member of a knife community to do
EXACTLY what you Fine gentlemen have offered to do:
PLACE A VALUE on a knife or knives for another formite.
Let's forget about the "trade part" and just look at what happened to me and what
MIGHT happen here with a very expensive knife. If/when a "trusted" formite responds to one of many posts asking for assistance in placing a value on some knives and says :"hey, I know all about those knives and if you do not want them/it, I can give you a good idea of their
VALUE and blah...balh...blah...( no Gus, no goats yet!)
Para, Keith, Eric, I am trying to chill. But I keep punching up the entire saga of those knives to include the posts about how the tips were broken, how I got a Gerber 600 when in reality it's a 400, and now a Formite owns those two knives after the
NEW OWNER got a very fair value out of them on a trade. He offered them back to me, unbroken tips and all, but it still fries my BUTT
The POS is still posting on BF, filled my freaking Hard drive full of the exact same photo that
I POSTED in reference to those knives and is still smelling like a rose. Had it not been for some really cool members of BFC, I would not have any multi-tool worth a crap.
my point is that I would hate to see the owner of this knife get $1,000, when the
FAIR VALUE is $2,000. It happens, it happened, and there is really nothing you can do after the fact except to whine. The other formite ends up making a serious profit on your stupidity. Just trying to make this point, and do so while the original owner of this
CUSTOM KNIFE still has it in his possession..............Sorry
