99p starting bid with no reserve. I'm pretty sure it will go for more than that, but i like the cut of his jib!

"This item is advertised elsewhere. Seller reserves the right to remove item at any time."

In other words;

"If it doens't make enough, I'll say it has been sold elsewhere and unlucky. You won't be getting a bargain here!"

Darn!....I thought it was an uncynical advert just like Jed did!

Its a left handed knife! Check the photo.








(Joking! It does look like a left sided sheath though)

Do you think he will take 98p for it ?

Give him a shout if he does'nt get any bid's! I'm afraid i've had a little bit of a wake up call on life and have totally disregarded my cynical side. I'm seeing all the good and positive things so i like to think that this is a genuine seller who will go through with the sale. As much as this knife is not for me and i will not be bidding, i'm probably setting myself up to be disappointed by others actions ............again!

 

[Jedadiah]

Spam, Humpback, take a medal out of the bucket, you were right. It seem's the advert has been withdrawn. Time and time again, i seem to be disappointed by others. Not wanting to judge as i don't know the seller or whats going on in their life, but i just felt that the mould was about to be broken.

I'm a great believer in 'It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.' Maybe the ethic's of fair play are being battered out of comtemporary society by greed and impatience. It's his knife after all and he can do with it what he wants, just leaves a sour taste thats all.

Good for you Jed!
If more people took a positive view on life then perhaps the world would be less of a negative place for so many!
Or the cynics and rip off merchants would have more marks to hit......
Let us try and get the balance between Pollyanna- ism and cynicism right, balance the Yin and Yang, then the world will be a well balanced place.
I hope we can be realists not cynics in future....that is the real aim
Off to Croatia now for a week - on what is going to be my best trip with under 16 year olds in the great outdoors, in a great country full of loverly people
Ah.... our posts crossed........but good on you for a positive attitude!

 

[Jedadiah]

Have a good trip John, look after yourself and keep spreading those positive waves!
