This would have been quite an interesting west African long knife/machete. The knife alone to me is a little lost without the scabbard. The picture was a little blurry but not too much, I thought :p . The description was one of good condition, no picture of the bad side of the scabbard was supplied, it was just said to be tired :rolleyes: The over all length of the knife 64cm, It was not that expensive, some you win some just make you feel a prat!

The sharpest picture couldn't show that which is concealed.

Declaration of damaged parts makes a seller more trustworthy and respected. (Prevents unnecessary negative feedback on eBay.) :(

At the very least, a picture showing the damaged area.
I also understand that by doing so, the final price cannot reach it's full
potential. But failure to show the damaged parts is as good as trying to
cheat, (imo only).

I understand the feeling of receiving damaged goods. :mad: :eek: :( :confused:

This is part and parcel of doing business on that site . :rolleyes:

Unless the Seller offers an examination period of course .
My advice ... put the Seller through the third degree .
If he is at all evasive walk away quickly .
If he lies report him to the site admin .

Also always buy using a C.Card .
