SHING / Rapidboy – Field knife

[MagiKelly]

For clarification on the rules please read the Sticky Item at the head of the Classifieds. (Second item down.) "Please read" it says. This will give you Tony's stand, which if changed will change there.

The Members Classifieds forum is provided so that individual members can buy, sell or trade their personal possessions with other members.

Well it is RB's personal knife so he can sell it

Note: The forum is for non commercial sales. Sales by makers, traders, retailers etc are not allowed (although this is under consideration)

He did make part of it though, I don't think this makes it a commercial sale but it is where the confusion arises.

Gentlemen.

I am now feeling terribly guilty with regard to the hornets nest i seem to have stired up here.

For the record i never meant to slam or flame RB ( in fact i hope to work with him in the not too dostant future)

Maybe me posting where i did was in the worng place, out of line maybe.

It gets kind of frustrating though when it APPEARS that some rules depend on the mod or member and are not the same for all.

So my appologies to rb for coming across as a sh!t.

And for the bad atmosphere i seemed to have caused.

I am finding myself in agreement with MagiKelly. The difference is that the knife was made for personal use, then put up for sale a year later. I saw that Rapidboy was unloading a load of his kit and the first thing that came to my mind was a hope that this wasn't the result of some domestic emergency requiring funds! It seemed clear that this was all ex-personal stuff.

That was rather my point.

Still, all clear now, all friends, and all happy. Which is nice

i think we can safely say it's an EMERGENCY

 

[Dave Farrant]

So has anyone bought the knife yet?

Dave, I assume you are referring to the edit of your knife advert in the edged tools forum here...
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=9057

The copy you used was exactly the same as your knife advert in "Makers Sales" on BB, minus the price tag - clearly a veiled attempt to sneak an advert in through the back door. You go on to admit it was an advert, earlier in this thread...

Sorry to be a pooper though but i didn't think blatent sales/advertising of self made items were allowed. I had one removed you see,

Firstly, no advertising is allowed on BcUK outside of the classifieds area (which you know).
Secondly, advertising anywhere is only permitted by contributing members (which you are not)
Thirdly, overt advertising by knifemakers is not allowed and you freely describe yourself as a knifemaker.

Rb's post is in the correct forum.
Rb is entitled to advertise because he is a contributing member.
Rb does not describe himself as a knifemaker.

Any one of the above three points would get your advert moderated Dave, but all three just makes it a no-brainer. If there is any of the above which you dont understand or you would like further clarification, or if you have an issue with the way I've moderated one of your posts, then please do feel free to PM me directly.

Lastly, if you get caught trying to sneak an advert under the radar, dont ruin other peoples legitimate adverts with completely unfounded accusations of unfair or biassed moderation, or to put it another way - DONT WHINE ABOUT IT!

Regards,
Martyn.

[rapidboy]

Damn that was exciting
Thanks to the mods and Tony for sorting it.
The knife has now been sold.
Cheers

[rapidboy]

And another twist .... the knife is now not sold so it's up for sale again.
