Al

hey my friend,,my wife went to the mail-box,there was a pakage from you there..
that was supose to be for me,,she ran with it..would not even let me open it...
so it was her,pakage not mine..LOL..the post cards were great,believe me she is the type when she gets something,,they are kept,but anyhow the bi-pod was great also,,
one request from you,,do you believe in JESUS ..if not seek him while he maybe found,,,love you...God Bless You,,and yours...thanks michael,and wilma..

Mike,
Glad everything arrived quickly, and was what you were looking for. I'll let you know when the knife arrives.
Thanks,
Al

Mike,
I'm just curious when you shipped out the knife, as I have recieived nothing as of today.
Thank-you,
Al

you should be recieving it soon,,heck i think it was the day after i recieved the bi-pod..
but you will get it..thanks

Mike,
The knife and items arrived today. To be honest I don't think it is even close to the condition you described. I would like to have you ship my bi-pod back and I will send you the items you sent.
I wouldn't use what you've sent. The Schrade knife condition is poor at best, the sheath it's in is worse, the "Second knife" you added, is a Very cheap copy, and the sheath is...well it's something to hold the knife in. As for the capper thing, I totally have no use for that.
Needless to say I am very dissapointed, and upset. This is not what I had in mind at all. I even made a special stop to pick up the post cards you asked about. On top of this very poor equipment, the other thing that realy bothered me was the overwhelming smell of smoke on everything, I doubt it would ever come out of the leather espically with the condition the leather is in.
Please ship the bi-pod back via Priority mail, the same way I sent it to you, and I will ship your items back the same, in your box and packing cloth.
Thank you,
Al

look my friend,,im going to try to be as nice as i can,,first off we traded sight unseen,
for me and you,the knife i sent is in great cond,,just view a few at ebay,,that is a pre-vietnam fighting knife,,and very collectable..and i put the other items in for the cards,,
the t/c 209 capper cost,$13.00 as far as the leather,,the little knife case was hand made,,and here is what ticks my clock,,,(IF YOU WANTED SOMETHING FROM A SMOKE-FREE HOME MAKE SURE YOU ASK THE NEXT TIME)..look you had a used Harris by-pod,im going to value it at $30.00 bucks,,for the small one,,,so you
can go to what ever forum,,you want and say (bad) things about me if you like..
but i consider us (even) and this matter to be dropped,,put that in your (Pipe And
Smoke It)....

Mike,
1st. You described the knife as in Much better condition, I really don't care about the other items or the cards, As far as the Smoke free, I was just surprised at how overpowering the smell was.
I just want my bi-pod back, and I'll send you your items. You grossly mis-represented what you were offering.
Al

Here is a quote from you. Not my word's, these are from your description.
"
hey my friend,,i did not have a chance to get the picture,,but trust me my friend
the knife is near mint,,no pitting or nothing,,if want to swap we will...hey i dont have to see the bi-pod..you trust me..i will trust you,,how does that sound??i even throw in some type of suprize item..when shipping.."

I did trust you for the description, it was not even close to accurate..

See your quote below, Do you really think this was an accurate description???

No,
I didn't think I had a "Pot of gold", Are you really that dense?
You did not even come close to accuratly describing what you were
offering....You Grossly misrepresented the condition!
You ripped me off with your description, 100%.
And yes I did save all of our e-mails. You said the knife was in "Mint
Condition", this thing is in poor condition at best. Is this the first
time you have ever had to grade the condition of something?
I did do re-search on this knife....Even in very good condition it's
not worth much either.
I took you at your word. I delivered what I said I would, you sent be a
used up piece of junk. Along with two more pieces of garbage.
I will allow you another chance to come clean and without having to
admit that you lied, just send back my bi-pod, and I will send you your
items.
I am not whining about the smell of the smoke...you moron, You STATED
THE CONDITION OF THE KNIFE AS MINT. ( Do you understand what "Mint
Condition" means???)
*_I HAVE NEVER_* Done a trade via ant gun forum on the net (and I've
done quite a few, look around) where I have asked for my item back. This
is different, you Lied.
So, like I said do the right thing and send me back my bi-pod (not a
"pot-of-gold", but at least it is actually useable, and in the condition
I stated.)
If you decide to not do the right thing I will post all of the pictures
and our e-mail's back and forth for the masses to be the judge of the
type of man you really are.
The choice is yours...
