Spyderco Forums

I left Spydie Guys neg. feedback due to the fact the two blades they sent me had there name etched on the blade and it did not picture this in any of the pics they had on the listing. I would not of bought them if i knew this. After a bunch of emails with no response from them I left them negative feedback. Now they wont let me bid on there items. Just a heads up.

I really don't understand why you would wish to bid on another auction from a seller who you have left negative feedback.

The few times that I have left negative feedback, I would not even remotely consider ever bidding again on one of those sellers' auctions. I don't even bid on a seller's auction if I have been mildly disappointed in their performance.

There are many sellers on the bay, I just move on.

For clarity, what was etched onto the blade? Was it, for example, a Military that said Military, or was it a Military that said Spydie Guys?

A company website etching on the blade....barf

Wow.... seriously? Etched right into the blade and no indication of this in the item description? If that's true... how ultra tacky. I would have demanded a full refund and returned it. A prime example of free advertising at it's absolute worst.

What knife was that? I find that absurd...

wow...no thanks!

I agree! What kind of crap is that!?! :eek: I don't really care for company stickers on the knife box but it's tolerable. But ETCHED ON THE BLADE?!? That's really tacky. And they don't answer emails or calls on top of it? Jeez, give us a break. :mad:

man.. just call your credit card and tell them to put a cancel to those charges.

I had trouble getting SpydieGuys to respond to multiple requests to service a just-purchased knife, so I ended up opening a case with eBay. I ultimately sent the knife to Spyderco for service, who took good care of me.

I don't even look at SpydieGuys products anymore; however, poor_fish is now getting much attention and $$$ from me. :D

Can't wait to hear what JspyEDC (Jess from Spydieguys) has to say about this. I've bought several knives from them, expecting a Chokwe next week, and I've always been happy with my deals.

But if this is true....

You got pics of them? I've defended Spydieguys in the past due to several really good transactions with them. I can't really fathom why they would do this though, that is a new low.

I will take a pic when I get home.

i had a few good transactions with spydie guys but this is BS with the etching. as for poor-fish, great price and every transaction has been smooth. that includes about 15 kopas in the last month or so, i'm hoarding them :p .

yeah jess is a spiteful vindictive person....
but i have said this for a year
jess knows he will do a crappy job and doesnt want even more negative feedback. he knows your were burnt last time and is exspecting a better expereience this time and he knows he cant pefrom honestly and just wants to avoid more negative feedback. dont worry the buzz is growing. i pm everyone who leaves feedback with a "copy paste" message about his actions....
all who have been screwed over are fighting back. here is not the place to do it so i will finish this elsewhere

BTW:
poor fish is amazing! NEVER had a problem with them and they are always prompt. just because one transaction is bad dont write off the company. maybe it was a one time thing. but with spydie guys reputation you should have learned your lesson and not bid again....

I'm not surprised at all. Don't hold your breath on getting any kind of response. I have seen some Spydercos with their company website etched on the blade before but I believe that to be very tacky unless they're given away as promotional gifts.

Can you post a pic of this blade? That's really tacky...

I stopped buying from them after the Forum Native BS.

+1
I would never buy from seller who didn't do the right thing last time.
Regarding Jess. I bought quite a few knives from him. All of them came to in perfect condition except one. I e-mailed pictures to him, he sent me returned address and sent me replacement right away.
I will not hesitate to buy from him again.
I am wondering how long (how many business days) you were waiting before you left negative feedback?
