He dishonestly reused some pictures and an item description?
That hardly qualifies as extremely dishonest in any book.
Has he cheated someone? Go read his feedback, none of those people look sad....
My only contact was actually buying the knife listed as new but was used,
It's in my pocket...
He brought it to my attention that he had made a mistake, he discounted the blade.
I fail to see the dishonesty...
I understand your view and your experience. But please think of other guys who buy knives from him that aren’t as experienced and maybe some who he doesn’t “remember” he made a mistake in the listing.
Btw I’ve sold on eBay for years and you can adjust a description at any time- especially if it’s buy it now since no bidding.
For example, when I discovered Northwoods last year I bought an esky Zulu and was told it was in great condition, only carried a few times. When I sold it later on the new buyer told me it was sharpened and that there was a profile change in the blade... all of this because a seller was dishonest and I did not know any better.
The last thing we need are for people to turn around and sell his used-new knives here as new and people get upset that they are not.
Edit:
“He dishonestly reused some pictures and an item description?

He is also doing this on a large scale. I don’t believe he is a knife guy just trying things out and supporting a habit as he claims. Check the exchange and see all the knives he scoops up in one day and then you see them all listed the next week. It’s a business to him.
I get what you said if it was a casual buyer/trader, a mistake in a listing happens. But that he is not.
