Longest of long shots ... looking for a Billipp!

[toddnmd]

A year and a half on the list and have not heard a whisper but not willing to sell/replace it.

I've been on the list roughly that long as well. What was originally January 2016 delivery is now at least a year later. Andy has been very responsive the few times I've emailed him.

Alterweisser, good luck in your quest!

Ha, thanks for the encouraging words ....

Just a heads up: I just received a PM from someone who became a member 17 hours ago, offering a Billipp for sale .... sounds fishy to me, might be trying to contact others searching for high value knives as well!

Can you report the PM so that the mod team can take a look please?

careful

Tell him to post pic.

It never hurts to pursue it.. I've actually had weird luck with a scammy email / PM. Just ask for pics, use Google to see if they just ripped them from somewhere else, and Also check the Exif data of the picture. If they took it with a camera or phone of their own, there should be all kinds of little clues as to the legitimacy.

F that...ask for a name and contact Billipp...if real you'll know for sure.

yea ask andy, he's great. personally i don't believe it...

 

[Omega]

That's actually a good point- I couldn't ask the maker with respect to mine. And it also wasn't quite as rare as a Billipp. Just saying it couldn't hurt to cautiously look in at it

I wonder if it was 'nicosales' - been getting PMs too.

Yes. And he also contacted me about a Kochi even AFTER I called him out for his Billipp approach ...

 

[JayGee]

A quick search shows 'nicosales' uses the same approach on various forums. Would think they might have the sense to at least change their handle.

He pops up, gets banned. Pops up, gets banned. He'll have a new user name next week.
