This Ben sent me emails to purchase, then he false claimed he's Paid the Invoice via PayPal and asked for a shipment. He kept claming the payment is clear, even after I canceled both invoices*. Obviously, this guy has no idea how PayPal works. Funny thing is he made a story about his father trying to improve a Knife then in another email he told me that he was trying to scam a seller who sold him a ZT knife. Then I googled his infor. turns out this guy has Eleven Email accounts. So I'd like to post here, whoever search his email/ phone number would know he is a scammer.
*PayPal actually charge a fee on the seller when buyer asks for a refund.

Good evening

So, I have a bit of an odd question

I have a 0562cf that my father was going to machine a set of custom phosper bronze washers for

The only issue is that we have been unable to make it home to see him for the past few months with all that's going on in the world right now and I do not have to the tools/expertise to measure the dimensions

I know it is a long shot (and realizing that it would not be the same as the cage measurement) but as you are one of the few places I have found that sells pivot upgrades for the 0562cf, bearings or otherwise, I was wondering if you might be able to to help.

Regardless of the outcome, thank you for your time, and have a great day

Ben Keller

Quick question, how much extra would it be to get the upgrade for an 0450 as well?

Also, payment has been made, can add to it or redo it based on the above

Address is: 111 Shady Spring Pl Durham NC 27713

OK, just picked one up and the whole Pivot assembly is pretty rough

I'm going to talk to the guy and see about a discount for the cost of the new bearing set but otherwise I am going to return it.

I will let you know one way or the other in this thread once I hear back from the guy I got it from

I bought a ZT 0450 and the bearings, race, and blade all had rust on them.

I was able to clean the blade and did a decent job on the race but the bearings (stock I assume) are pitted

So I'm going to ask the guy for the 25 bucks it would cost me for your bearings or a full refund

I see. You paid the invoice already, right?

Did you have tracking on the 0562 bearings/washers?

Odd. Both invoices now show canceled. I guess that means it refunded. Regardless, there is no way to pay it now that it is marked canceled. Can you resend it.
