First off I have thought a lot about weather I should post anything here. I have done hundreds of online deals on several forums and this is the first time I am having concerns, I am starting to think I have been scammed out of a expensive knife and need advice on what to do next. I really hate to drag some ones name through the mud and have considered all the possibilities of what went wrong. So here's what happened......
On June 1 I was offered a trade by Johnny2glock, my Strider sng for his Busse SAR3, that is the knife I wanted and went ahead with the trade. At first he thought I was a scammer because I had sent him pictures of my Strider that the previous owner had sent me but I guess the previous owner had offered the same knife to him before I got the knife and he was justifiable concern, if I was sent the same exact pictures from two different people. I took new pictures and we emailed back and forth and worked out the trade I offered to ship first because I know as the new guy on this forum I needed to earn trust among the members, so I shipped priorty mail June 5. Well of course my luck the tracking for his knife was showing the knife was in New York and his address is in Nebraska, post office still has no idea what the issue with tracking was
On June 7 as I was sending updates of what I could find out from the post office he responded that the Strider had arrived and was awesome and would get me the tracking on my Busse knife but had to wait until Monday 10th to ship due to the weekend.
June 11th I emailed for updates and got a quick reply
"Hey Im sorry about the lag I will get your tracking info to you asap! You will have the Busse by friday you have my word.
Thanks!
John H"
I emailed for updates again June 15th and 17th. June 18th I got a reply he was in the Colorado mountains and would find out where my knife is and let me know.
I emailed yesterday and today June 21 that the knife did not arrive and to call, text, PM or email me and still no reply.
So it has been 11 days since he was supposed to ship my knife out and 20 days since we started the trade, and email responses are not happening. I fully understand if he is out of town he may not have tracking numbers but he has not answered me if he sent it USPS or UPS. I still am holding faith in the honor system and this will work out and hope all is well with him. I think I have been patient and just want my Busse or the Strider back.
