Sgt Bash - Trade

[colinoutdoors]

I recently put up for trade my Spyderco UKPK. Sgt Bash contacted me with an offer I couldn't refuse. A Leatherman Wave (post 2004) and a storm grey P4 Squirt.

Well I got home today to discover a package, opened it up and low and behold the Wave and Squirt had arrived. The Wave is 0411 on both handles, brand new . Great packing and fast delivery from the Netherlands.

This was the first time I traded with someone abroad. After I had sent my parcel on Monday 1st August I emailed Sgt Bash to let him know. I got no reply so I tried again on Tuesday, got no reply again. I was pretty worried that I had just gave away my UKPK for free. Finding the tread where Sgt Bash posted his trade I noticed he had been online on the Wednesday and announced the trade had been done. I was a bit confused why he hadn't replied to me. I wrote on that thread suggesting I had been done. Sgt Bash promptly contacted me and assured me everything was fine, even showing a picture of his receipt. He said he PM'ed me, unfortunately I never got the initial replies. So in conclusion to this long winded story I have to apologise to Sgt Bash again for my distrust and say that it was a trade completed successfully. I have learned that its best to swap email addresses for easier communication as well.

I highly recommend Sgt Bash as a genuine trader.

Interesting.

Are you saying you sent PM's and he sent PM's but they didn't get delivered?  Or were they delivered but you never received an email notification?  On a forum with mucho trading/sales, having a dodgy PM system is serious business. 

If you'd like, you can send me a more detailed message via PM (assuming it working  )

Hi Mr. Whippy,

I sent 2 PM's, one on Monday and one on Tuesday. I never got a reply. Then after I commented on his thread about the trade he then PM'd me on Wednesday. He told me he had replied to my PM's on the previous days, I did not receive then. Sgt Bash replied to my post on his thread;

Whoooa Colin..cool your boots guy. Nobody has been had. 

I have sent two PMs in reply to you including a TNT tracking number for the Leatherman. Both PMs were saent on Monday. I will send again to make sure. Maybe I stuffed up the PMs. I'll check.

 

So the only messages not received were the two he sent on Monday replying to my PM (which of course I got a bit upset not receiving any hence my comment on the tread, which I later changed to a thumbs up out of respect for Sgt Bash). All other communication was fine. Like Sgt Bash said he may have made an error but I would imagine he used the reply button so it could possible be system error. Other than that all the PM's I have sent and received have been fine. It was unfortunate that it happened on these crucial PM's which is why I was worried and perhaps overreacted.

Hi guys,

Firstly, thanks Colin for the feedback. Kudos guy. The same back atcha  I received a sparkling spyderco UKPK and I'm chuffed to bits.

As for the PM's, Mr Whippy, I think that was my bag. I think the page refreshed before I clicked send and I forgot to keep a copy in my Sent Items. Sooo, I thought - PM's sent, no probs. The lack of comms caused Colin to worry and I had no idea until I saw the thread that something was fubarred.

I don't think its a forum prob just me being stoopid. 

Thanks again Colin.
