I was in that group for a couple hours.
Bunch of shady fucks. First thread I stumbled onto was one where a guy had agreed to sell a knife to someone, all he had to do was give the guy his email address for payment, guy kept asking for it, then next day said he sold it to someone else. No reason given. Just decided to be a complete jackass. People in the group defended the jackass. I asked if anyone of them had heard of good faith dealing and there was no logical response, just he can do what he wants to do. Inter person online sales are difficult in the best of times, doesn't help if you can't rely on basics of commerce when doing deals. Told them they were morons I couldn't trust and showed myself out. Connected with the would be buyer that got the short end of the stick later in a different group. He seemed solid as they come. We are only as good as our word. ETA: That is a good looking knife. Price seems reasonable to me. |

Originally Posted By Star_Scream: That's a pretty shitty atmosphere. I imagine the seller was a regular. Very tribal those groups View Quote I dunno. It seemed like some of them there knew him, not all positive. Maybe there was some defending of their own. What got to me was that the group generally was advocating open ended deals with no good faith dealing. I realize I am an old man by this point and maybe the kids these days are dealing fast and loose, but without good faith dealing, no one will want to work with you because you burned too many doing that. Yet that is what these people were doing. In a group selling and trading mid priced collectible knives. It just didn't strike me as a sustainable practice. Sure, maybe in FB marketplace where people come and go and you have no relation to anyone else, but these knive groups tend to get a feel for each other. They aren't all like KTSF with 60k+ members (even then I feel like people generally know about many others in the group). It's not like there is a feedback system like BF or reddit or Arf to broadcast how you act. All you have is your word. And they were mostly advocating for shitty dealing. So odd. |
