Below is an account of the transaction, read if you want. It's long! Just want to let everyone know about this guy! I'm posting similar threads on JD and Knifeforums. Let me know what other major forums there are and I'll do the same there too!!!!
**********************************************************************************************************************So here I was looking for a BM 42, and this guy posts one for $200. Link to the thread is below.
http://www.brokenbrains.us/arena/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=5662His post count was low so I went to check out his intro. Here's the link.
http://www.brokenbrains.us/arena/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5504I checked out his old username. Didn't look through his old posts too hard but noticed he's done some transactions, should have looked harder.
I was the first one to PM him so he sold it to me and raised the price in the process.
Here's the string of PMs:

Hey,
I've gotten many offers this morning so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to sell it to you for less than $230. Sorry about the price bump, I had not idea the bm42 was in such high demand! Anyway my paypal is jaehunoh@hotmail.com if we eventually come to terms. Thanks!

wheelman185@hotmail.comCan you throw in a pic with today's date and/or your username/email on a piece of paper?
From here it was just email.
First he emailed me these pics, I later noticed they were the same ones on one of his older topics along time ago that I didn't check out. Here's the link to the post (

Don't want to be annoying, but just wondering if you've sent it, and/or have a tracking number for me?

Hey,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Your Paypal payment HAS been received and now I'm just waiting for the funds to transfer into my bank account which should only take about 3-5 days. Once the transaction is completed I will ship the BM42 to you first-class USPS and then get back to you with the tracking # and shipping info. Don't worry bro, this epic butterfly knife has got your name on it!

Hey,
I just got your package, and what I got was not a Benchmade 42. Did you send the wrong one or something? I didn't pay for a folder. I'll gladly send this back to you for my money back if you don't have it. I'm not very happy right now.

Hey,
If you don't respond, or handle this matter appropriately, then I will make it my personal Vendetta to make it known, everywhere, you scammed me! You'll have to find some crap site to go screw other people over! You have until mid day tomorrow.

So what's the word man?
Sent: Mon 7/02/12 10:56 AM
He hasn't sent me anything back since. Here's pics of what he sent me. It's a Benchmade 760SBK LFTi. A nice knife if it wasn't beat up and missing the pocket clip. No box or papers either, just shipped in a Pioneer faceplate case.
I think I might barely get half of my money back if I tried to sell it. Let me know if you're interested. I'm probably going to send it to Benchmade and have it restored. I read the CPM-M4 Steel on this knife is a bitch to sharpen unless you're super skilled.
Here's pics:
Thanks for reading my long thread! Hope this guy doesn't get anyone else!!
