THE BEGINNING
Ralf to Bob:Sent: Sat, October 31, 2009 12:09:18 PM
is this item (#1199) still for sale?
Which way do you deliver to Germany?
How much is insured shippment?
Bob to Ralf: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:01:56 -0700 (PDT)
I do have it and shipping would be 50 dollars. I have private insurance so that is free to you
Ralf to Bob: Sunday, November 1, 2009, 5:20 AM
can you send me a picture showing the crosscrainning?
Do you send to Germany directly or like some other dealers via another EU-Country providing problems with the customs?
Bob to Ralf: Sun, 1 Nov 2009 18:20:11 -0800 (PST)
I tried to take several pictures to show the cross graining, it is difficult to get. Some pictures are without a flash and the cross graining is visible but very subtle. The pictures that make the blade look bad, it looks much better in person, I used a flash on. The flash made the cross graining stand out more but does not look pretty in the pictures.
As far as shipping, I can send direct or probably have a friend in the UK ship it for me.
Ralf to Bob: Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:16:33 +0100
I take the dagger item 1199 and item 1137 vertical hanger shipped via UK.
USD 2999 + USD 325 + USD 50 shipping = USD 3374
So please send me your bankaccount numbers for transfering the money
I'll split it in two parts 874 and 2500.
First if I had to show the price in any case ;-)
As soon as I did the transfer, I send you the bills pm, so you can mark it as hold/sold
My adress is:
phonenumber
Ralf to Bob: Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 5:43 PM
please see my email below.
I didn't get any answer till now.
So please let me know your bankaccount/-numbers
Bob to Ralf: Tue, 3 Nov 2009 17:33:05 -0800 (PST)
I am sorry, I just got back. I have the dagger set aside for you.
I am looking for the hanger you want, it is buried. I have one that is a little better and another that is really nice. I will send you pics of both.
Bob to Ralf: Thu, 5 Nov 2009 19:22:26 -0800 (PST)
I was just wondering, do you still want the SS dagger?
Ralf to Bob: Friday, November 6, 2009, 4:44 AM
why are you wondering if I still want the dagger?
It's me who is wondering now, since you told me you put the dagger aside for me and you want to send me pics of the two other hangers.
See your email below.
Since this email I got no more information!
So please send me the pics additional on another email account
[email protected] if your email -if you sent one- had been blocked.
Bob to Ralf: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 07:59:43 -0800 (PST)
I think we had a couple of missed emails, no problemJ! Here are pics of the other two hangers I have.
Ralf to Bob: Friday, November 6, 2009, 12:26 PM
I got the pictures now, thanks.
One is marked 48/34: this one seems to have no working spring in the clip, is this right?
what is the other one marked? can't read it. Is this spring working?
On both: is the leather good and smooth and not broken?
What is the price for each?
Bob to Ralf: Fri, 6 Nov 2009 09:40:37 -0800 (PST)
I have the nicer of the two here with me at my store, the one marked 48/34 does have a broken spring. This one has really nice leather which I feel would match the dagger better than the others. I was going to list it on my next update but I can sell it to you for a little less since you are buying the dagger. It would go on the update for 425 and you can have it for 400 flat if you like.
On the other, when I go home I will check the clip tonight for you.
That one has the leather in more worn condition.
Ralf to Bob: Saturday, November 7, 2009, 10:52 AM
I agree with you, that the 48/34 matches better with the dagger.
But I can't spend more than USD 3400 for dagger and hanger including shipping via UK for all together.
Also I've to look for a replacement spring.
Please let me know, if this is ok for you.
Bob to Ralf: Sat, 7 Nov 2009 08:22:23 -0800 (PST)
I don't want to think about the dagger with the "wrong" hanger on it, and if it cost me a 100 in shipping that is OK
. So, you have a deal!
Please send me your bank details and I will get the dagger ready to be shipped out. I don't remember if I did before so I will send you my bank info on this email.
Ralf to Bob: Saturday, November 7, 2009, 11:47 AM
thank you for confirming the deal.
Due to the fact that the banks are closed on Saturday and Sunday in Germany, I'll transfer it on Monday. I'll split it in two parts. As soon as I've done it, I 'll send you the scanned bankpapers. So you can do the dagger and hanger aside and after recieving money, you can ship it.
My adress:
You'll hear on Monday from me
Ralf to Bob: Monday, November 9, 2009, 9:11 AM
the money is on the way to you.
I splitted it into 2900 and 500.
Bank-papers are attached.
Now you can put it on hold.
Please confirm the receiving of this mail (due to some missing emails in the past).
If you get the money, please let me also know.
Bob to Ralf: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 07:54:17 -0800 (PST)
I have this email, I will check my account in a bit. I have to go right now but will be back shortly. Transfers seem to take from 12 hours to 10 days, I can't figure out why the difference.
Bob to Ralf: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:18:58 -0800 (PST)
Thanks, your payment arrived today. I will get the dagger off Monday to Norm who will send it to you. He can be a little slow but I will light a fire under his feet so he sends it quickly to you
Please verify the address below, better to be safe
Ralf to Bob: Friday, November 13, 2009, 11:29 AM
fine to hear, that you got the money.
Adress is correct.
Looking to get the black beauty soon ;-)
Ralf to Bob: Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 6:49 AM
has the dagger made his way over the Sea and reached Norm?
Bob to Ralf: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:52:34 -0800 (PST)
It should be with Norman, I will drop Norman an email and see.
Bob to Ralf: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:38:40 -0800 (PST)
Norm said he has it and will mail it to you on Monday. He said shipping will cost me 3000 dollars! He is getting more reasonable by the day
!
Ralf to Bob: Thursday, November 26, 2009, 11:29 AM
thanks for the personal tracking message.
Be aware, that the box to ship is made of 2 pounds pure gold.
In this case I will refund you the shipping costs ;-)
Bob to Ralf: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:08:57 -0800 (PST)
Gold! That is my second business
! I have a coin and Jewelry store and I specialize in buying gold. The only gold I do not like is teeth, I don't like buying them!
Ralf to Bob: Monday, December 7, 2009, 7:46 AM
please contact Norman again, because the dagger didn't arrive until today.
Normally it won't take a week from UK to Germany.
Ask Norman, if he can send me the tracking information and the site of his postal service.
Bob to Ralf: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 18:43:15 -0800 (PST)
Sorry, I did hear from Norman and he apologized for not sending it. He promised to send it on Tuesday so I will check up on him and make sure he does.
Thanks for being so understanding and I promise you will be thrilled when you get the dagger.
