To be honest, I've been 'tucked up' a couple of times in the past (only once here) and really thats why I'd rather give stuff away to a good home rather than get worked up over something of no great value. If I expect to get over twenty or thirty quid on ebay plus postage then there it goes, less that that just gift it on and pay the postage. Nobody gets hurt, no bad feelings and something you don't want gets used by another. I'm talking about stuff/kit you have around you doing nothing and not something you have spent time and effort making...effort should be rewarded IMHO.

While I am really pleased and incredibly moved at the response of people here to be so quick to offer help and recompense, I would ask that if anyone is in touch with Matt that if they can, and I realise the topic is awkward, remind him that other people are still waiting for completion of trades and sales, and one at least is several hundred pounds worth of kit/trade/cash.

On the whole I'm inclined to the prime the pump kind of passing stuff around myself, but I realise for many that's not an easy option, especially if their hard earned cash has several roads as needs it.

Just found this thread after wondering what to do with a similar trade that had gone awry with Cowboy for a custom axe mask for my GB Scandinavian Forest Axe that I traded for a few good bits of military kit. So if it makes you feel better your not alone at least ;)!

Well out of the blue today my axe bits and a few other things arrived from cowboy! Very unexpected and kind of him! I think maybe he was just having a hard time but I guess we'll never know! They're nice and suit my axe great! I'm really sorry for any bother I've caused anyone, maybe he got the letter but that was around the 5th of January so I thought I was never going to get anything. :)

Thanks so much to stew and WULF for the incredibly kind offers! And to everyone else for the help! :)

He's got a power of sorting out to do, and that's just the ones we know about. If he does sort them all out though, he can speak to the Boss and see how it goes from there :)

He's a nice enough lad and has gifted me things in the past unexpectedly, perhaps as a result of a knife jig I made him. I know he's been busy on a year long course for bushcraft instructing so perhaps real life got in the way? Might have been hard to get in touch with people after being banned? Not making excuses, just thinking whilst typing I guess. Glad he got the goods delivered in the end, better late than never. Hope it was worth the wait!
