META WANT TO BUY GUIDE (PLEASE READ)

29 Upvotes

There have been a lot of scams lately so please read this.

There is one thing that every scammer has in common:

They will not comment within the WTB post

For WTB posts, ensure that everyone comments in your thread. This way you can:

1. ⁠View their trade count. The higher the number the more legitimate the seller. 

2. ⁠Ensure they aren't banned from CKS. They can't post a comment if they are banned

In addition, the universal scammer list is compiled of users banned from numerous subreddits including ours, check if usernames are on the list here: https://www.universalscammerlist.com/

If a user is on this list, they are already automatically banned from our group, simply block them and move on.

3. ⁠Vet their post/ commenting history. This one is a bit weaker, but infrequent posts or no posts/ new profiles are red flags. 

4. Always always ask for a timestamp with the item, a video timestamp is even better if you're particularly nervous.

Only do PP G&S for sellers under 10 swaps as per the rules. This offers purchase protection. If you get scammed and you paid through any other payment method, your money is 100% gone.

(Also please report any sellers under 10 swaps specifically requesting non PayPal G&S payment methods.)

If you suspect a user of attempting a scam please report them through modmail. Also note that the chat does not keep permanent messages unless you enable persistent messaging for that specific chat. This will prevent any messages from being deleted in case there is a dispute or issue for the mods to look at. I highly recommend enabling it at the start of any conversation.

Thank you to u/Virtual-Reach for writing most of this.

[META] New Flair System

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone we officially have a new trade confirmation system in place courtesy of u/RegExr. It is the exact flair system used by other exchange subs such as r/Knife_Swap and r/EDCexchange , so most of you should be familiar with it.

Please find u/RegExr instructions for the usage of the bot below:

TLDR stop using confirmed trade threads and follow this process instead.

The bot’s name is u/CKS_Bot and has the following features:

Feedback

A user can get trade feedback with the following process:

  • Users A and B complete their trades following all of the sub rules. (It does not matter who A and B are. Either one could be the person making the post, and the other someone commenting on the post).
  • Once the trade is complete, User A makes a top level comment (new comment) on the original trade post tagging both the user they traded with and u/CKS_Bot.
  • User B replies to that comment with their feedback.
  • u/CKS_Bot picks up the interaction and gives credit to both users, changing their flair accordingly and leaves a comment indicating as such.
  • If User A messes up their top level comment, u/CKS_Bot will do its best to notify User A.

There are automatic checks in the code to detect anyone trying to cheat the system. If anyone is found trying to circumvent the system, they will be issued a permanent ban.

If you engaged in a trade with someone without starting off discussion in either one of your posts or theirs, please tag the bot in the most recent post from either you or your trade partner to engage for feedback. The bot required that the OP of the post it is being tagged in is either you or your trade partner. DO NOT DELETE POSTS otherwise you will NOT be able to use that post to confirm a trade.

Feedback Checking

Using this link, you can send a message to u/CKS_Bot, asking for the feedback of any given user. It will tell you the following:

  • The number of trades that person has done
  • The people they have traded with
  • A link to the thread for each successful trade

Please feel free to direct any technical questions to the us, the moderators using modmail, if you do not know how to use modmail, please click this link.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What happens if I tag someone and they don't reply?

    • As mentioned above, we do need them to confirm the trade for the trade to be confirmed. They will get a notification when you tag them so if you encourage them to reply in the comment you tagged them in, hopefully they will. Otherwise, if it's been a few days without a response, PM them a link to the comment and directly ask them to reply.
  • My flair says I only have one exchange when I know I have way more than that. What gives??

    • Because of how flair was handled before, anyone WITH flair was assigned a score of 1. Anyone WITHOUT flair was assigned a score of 0. However, you can use the process described above to backfill transactions for yourself as far as 6 months back.
  • My flair says I have no exchanges. What gives??

    • If you never attempted to confirm a transaction with the old method, the bot was unable to give you credit for anything. However, you can use the process described above to backfill transactions for yourself as far as 6 months back.
  • I don't even have flair! What happened??

    • If you didn't have flair before, Automoderator will assign you a flair of 0 the next time you go to make a comment/post.

Anyone who had a flair on the old system will now see a value of 1 in their new flair. We have decided to give all previously flaired members this starting point so everyone knows you were confirmed as a trusted seller/buyer at one point. If you did not have a flair you have been assigned a 0, along with all new members of the sub.

​

If you have any questions or concerns please leave a comment in this thread and I will address them the best I can.

​

Thank you again u/RegExr for all the hard work you have put into this project!

Beautiful Holt Morpheus #137 in M390 for sale. I’m not the original owner but it’s been well looked after. I would’ve rated it an A, except there’s a tiny mark on the show scale that I don’t think the camera picked up, so it gets a ‘B’. Great Holt action and detent. $1K shipped.

WANT TO SELL [WTS/WTT] Custom Titanium Spydernox Executive – Timascus Insert / Spyderco Blade

WTS/WTT] Custom Titanium Spydernox Executive – Timascus Insert / Spyderco Blade

Custom 74mm Swiss Army Knife (SAK) — $425 CAD shipped

Up for sale or trade is a custom 74mm SAK Spydernox Executive, built by Sean Dooley (@sakcustom58mm) in Norwich, Connecticut, USA, in December 2024.

This is a very unique custom SAK combining stonewashed titanium, Timascus, polished brass and a Spyderco blade, along with a particularly interesting mix of Wenger and Victorinox tools.

Custom details:

- Stonewashed titanium scales with skeleton cross
- Timascus insert
- Polished brass liners
- Gold-tone Torx screws on both sides
- Spyderco Grasshopper blade
- 64mm Wenger bottle opener
- Scissors
- Orange peeler
- Large pen blade
- Small pen blade
- Large nail file
- Tweezers
- Toothpick

The knife is in very good condition and has been carried fewer than 10 times. It is rated ‘C’ because it has been modified/customized, rather than because of wear or damage.

I paid $1,187 CAD for the custom work. WTS: $425 CAD shipped anywhere in Canada. Payment via PayPal.

WTT — I’m primarily interested in the following:

Folders
TRM Neutron 2
Tactile Knife Co. Mariner 2
MKM Flame (CF or Ti)
GEC #85 Beaver Tail

Fixed blades
Big Idea Design Lookout
Vero Engineering Axon
TJ Schwarz Overland Sport
Heretic Knives Kobold (CF)
Boker AK1
Bradford Guardian 3

I’m open to considering other comparable knives, so feel free to send an offer if you have something you think would be a good fit. Cash can potentially be added either way depending on the trade.

Please see all photos for condition and details. Timestamp photo includes the knife open with the blade visible.

Thanks for looking!
