We worked out a deal on two of my knives from this ad: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_115/999515_Collection_of_Chris_Reeve_One_Piece_Fixed_Blade_Knives.html

The Aviator and the Project 1. This was on a Thursday (July 12th) and said he would contact me early the next week. He did not contact me again, so I finally send him a note to see what was up six days later. He ignored that, so I asked him once more and let him know that I was going to move this to the feedback forum. After that he contacted me and said he would get things going that night after he has a good internet connect. That was almost a week ago (July 19).

Enough is enough, I am tired of trying to work through this with him and not getting any response.

These emails are listed from oldest to newest so it is easy to read:

Greetings,
I am interested in some of your Reeve one knives. If I take at least two, what can you do on the Aviator and the Project One.
I have bought a few recently, most of them between 300.00 & 400.00 depending on condition and if they have the box. Im also looking for the Nkonka and Ubejane.
Thank you,
Brad

Brad,

Thanks for the interest. I'd be willing to go $850 for those two. I'm not too concerned if they don't sell quickly. These have been increasing in value year on year and I believe this will continue.

Thanks again
Ron

Hi Ron,

Ron,
I apologize for not getting back sooner. We have been held over on a job and I am trying to get some leave so I can get home and pay bills and move cash out of savings to pay you. I don't want to hold you up on the pieces so I'll try and nail down my C/O for solid timeframe.
I only have my phone for internet so when we come in I can use the router with the phone before we crash.
Take care, Brad

Brad,
Not sure where to go from here. What's your situation now?

This is my last email to him on Monday at 9:15pm:

Brad,

I'm sending one last note before giving up and moving to the feedback forum.

What do you want to do to take care of this?

Ron



I then gave him a day and a half to respond. Nothing.


Now that I have been dicking with him for 2 weeks I am running into a pinch shipping. I am two weeks in Europe, so I need to get this done in the next day or two of I will not be able to ship quickly. I think I have been patient enough on this one, I need it resolved.

Thanks

Lets see if he'll respond here.

Looks like he logged on right after this thread was started and after you sent him a link.

In the next message he says, "I am trying to get some leave so I can get home and pay bills and move cash out of savings to pay you."

Sure sounds like he had the intent to buy them.

I dont see a firm deal.

I see a "should be able to swing them both" and a "trying to get some leave..."

I can easily read this as he wasnt able to swing them and couldnt get the time off. Because there was no unconditional acceptance I think there is enough wiggle room on this to call it a jump ball. The OP says he's in no hurry to sell the knives and they appreciate in value every year so aside from the annoyance IMHO I would have let it go.

YMMV

Done
