Crzingery, Recently we traded a wabi-sabi nuclear villain bead (and some other stuff) for a dpx hest tool and 5 steel flame tags. The trade went just fine. We had also, I had thought, confirmed that I would trade my Emerson Horseman for your Felhoelter Frikky. About when I was ready to send the Emerson off for warranty work I noticed a thread posted by you looking for trades for the Frikky. I was quite alarmed by this and as you know I pmed you saying " Is our trade for the Emerson and frikky still good before I send it off? " You responded by saying "Honestly I think I'm gonna have to pass on the emerson but you should still get you knife fixed ." After this I said "Dang bro wish you would have said that earlier I about shipped it off. I don't want to mess up the warranty for the next user. " You NEVER addressed or responded to this in any way. I receive another Pm from you after 2 days totally ignoring what I had said about the Emerson, and asked me "Hey grath I was wondering if you still had your skyline and if you did if you'd be willing to trade for somthing ?" Quite frustrating as you pushed off my comment about the past trade, already inquiring about another trade. Please help clarify, My apoligies for an miscommunication that occured, Grath

And after you told me you were frustrated I told you I was sorry and explained why I didn't want to trade. I also sent you a message after you told me you wished I would've sent something sooner but i could've just typed and forgot to push send or my phone could've glitched since that's what I use primarily to view the forum. I don't appreciate you telling max I'm not trustworthy tho. Sorry I didn't want to trade a custom for a knife you broke. I was nervous about that to begin with and after some serious thought and research into the warranty and such I decided to back out sorry.
You never said sorry and the only way you addressed it was blowing it off basically, the way I am seeing it. It probably would have turned out much smoother had you perhaps directly dealt with it and made sure that the trade was understood to be off before you sent other trade requests. I never said you were untrustworthy, I did tell him to be wary though. That is simply me giving some honest advice to a good friend, based of the experience that I had. -Grath

We'll I would have rather you sent me a message discussing all this like an adult instead of trying to bash me publicly in a thread. I'm done discussing this because I don't feel like junking up a great place like this forum.
This seems to be the easier way for me to get your attention, as you were dismissive in pms. Discussing it in the open is an honest way, and often leads to a better understanding from both parties. Before I had said a word to anyone else, others had felt somewhat skeptical of you also. I'm not being a jerk here, I am simply saying my view of what happened and why I am frustrated. I wanted to provide a fair chance to work this out so that you can be a productive and happy member of the forum without having any blemishes on your reputation. -Grath
You decided to back out and instead of letting him know you just list the item for trade?? Thats bad manners, etiquette, just bad all around... What if he sent his blade in for warranty service just for your trade that you previously agreed too? Doesnt sound like youd even care as long as someone sent you something you liked for the frikky...It sounds like you got nervous and backed out and just thought of yourself... And this is a small but TIGHT group of friends here... THAT LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER....
I can understand why he would be upset.... and letting Max know about it before the same thing happened to him is just good etiquette among friends.
Next question that should be asked is WHY you wont show pictures.. After backing out of a deal without warning and refusing to post pictures your making yourself look sketchy. I wouldnt want to deal with anyone doing stuff like that, and im glad grath explained it to us.
Last thing i have to say... You should know grath did not just call you out on his own free will to screw you over... Max asked and grath told the truth.. Never anything wrong with that.

I have trouble posting pictures because I'm on my cell phone and the format is different. I've always gladly offered to email pics and I wasn't trying to show bad manners or anything trading with grath was my first time trading with anyone period. Lesson Learned. If he would've already sent the knife In for warranty then I would've just traded for it and excepted that I was stuck with it. I'd like to be a good member tho so anything else just ask I'm new to the forums in general I've joined several but have hardly posted because I didn't feel comfortable. This is the first forum I felt comfortable with so I don't want to mess it up.
Alright man, we just wanted to make sure everything was good. Your forgiven on my end. Hope this does not interfere with future interactions with you, see you around dude!
Yeah, uhhhhhh....could we maybe make this a PM if it's not yet resolved? I mean it doesn't sound like anyone got screwed outta money or anything.
My brotha my brotha. I think this thread has served it purpose. Involved parties have stated their side. Let it ride.
Alright- as long as no bashing happens and no sides are taken w/o reasonable logic, there is no reason to step in-you're right. I just don't want anyone to leave because of a disagreement.

"Is it mailed? Did you mail it? Where's the tracking? I'm pretty excited. I hope he cries. Think he'll cry? What a bitch."
"Q is an asshole, but he's so dumb I feel like hugging him all the time."
