Smurfing auction site!!!!! Warning... Rant!
on: January 30, 2014, 05:52:47 AM
I've seen dozens of a specific knife I like posted for sale.... most of the time I lose out because people really like them.  I had the top bid, I was set to pay a little more and I get notified the listing has been pulled with no specific reason other than rule violation and my bid has been cancelled. What the smurf!!! :rant: :rant: :rant:  Come on....this time you pull the listing????  Why this one now!  What about all the others across the last few years including the 6 I purchased 3 years ago??  Be consistent!!  This item doesn't violate any rules or laws! >:( :rant: :rant: 

I now know if I see this knife again to save a search on the seller.  I'll back door the process.

 Unbelievable!

Executive edge "Grande" pocket knife.   This one was the black lacquered one.  :(
The description wasn't spelled correctly so no one had found it so far except me.   :D or at least I was the only bidder or watcher. 

Listed at $24.99.  This was older stock so the price could have gone up to $70+ if people found it.   With less than a full day left poof, gone, nothing, but an annoying apology e-mail.  <sigh>
