I'm guessing it's the dealer statement... if he's calling himself a dealer, he should be required to have a dealer membership
I thought that was where you were going, but wanted to avoid any possible false conclusionYes, that was the point. The ad has since been edited and the statement removed. Price increased as well.

What is the significance of that ad to this thread? I presume there is something, but it isn't apparent from just reading the ad.
That is the eBay add that @MP95B20 had for a knife and as it says in bold- claims to be an authorized GEC dealer.
But I’m sure that just another one of his “honest” mistakes.
Well, he's clearly proven the reputation a has made for himself.
~ 30 knives currently listed. 42 positive feedback in the last month (plus however many transactions where no feedback was left); I can only assume most, if not all, are knives from the feedback I could read. Looks like a dealer to me. I am not sure where the line is between a flipper and a dealer, but Ignore List for me.If you have a problem with me, please address it to me, you don't have to go back to the lower 40 and whisper about it, be men next time, Mac
bbk357 Thanks for sharing this. I know there are plenty here who don't mind the flippers, but I do.
I was wondering what this guy was doing with all of the knives he has been buying...should have known. It has been ticking me off because he has bought almost every knife that I was interested in (heck almost EVERY GEC period) as soon as they hit the exchange. I realize it is first come, first served for the most part but it has gotten really obvious that he is a HIGH volume flipper.
I guess even with a dealer membership there is really no hard and fast rule against him buying every knife that a seller is willing to sell to him

Hey @MP95B20 - more lies? You bought this cranberry TC as used and listed as new.
Shameful.
Go find a new hobby.
I agree.Although perhaps not against the rules of Bladeforums, there is a certain spirit of the exchange that is being broken here. Members offer up knives to other members at a less inflated price (than eBay) as they believe the knife is going to somebody who sees the knife as more than a way to make a fast buck. The quickness at which this guy’s purchases from this exchange show up on eBay suggests he is playing the system for his own gain.
