Ouch, thats not good. Looks like the same guy bought most of the knives. There were a couple Remingtons in the bunch. I hope all the knives get returned to the rightful owner.

Hey Johnnie, can that letter be confirmed as legit? If so, looks like I was an unwitting pawn in that deal . I picked up four knives on that auction! Sure hope that's true about getting the money back. Looks like I have an e-mail to send , at least he'll be happy to know he's getting some of his knives back

I got the same email. I'd say it's legit, the NKCA Business Office contacts, phone number and email are correct. Sorry to here about your inconvenience.

Thanks Hukk, I'll send him a note right now. Hopefully everything works out on the Ebay end of the deal.

Eric

go through the law to protect yourself from a possible scam. contact the NKCA directly to check. be careful!

Thanks Johnnie, I had those same thoughts. I've already e-mailed NKCA through their web site to confirm whether this is all on the up and up. I'll let you all know how things progress.

Eric

i did not bid on any of those items. why send me an email worded like that. it is a police matter.(where's a cop when ya need one!) hey future pres. perry, what's the skinny? or am i paranoid?

hey eric, what did you find out?

I was on the phone with Lisa when Cloyd called and it is the real deal. The knives were stolen a few months ago and there was an NKCA email about that as well. There's even more of the story that will come out once the police get everything handled. It's great that they finally caught someone doing this.

thanks perry. waiting for more information.

Thanks Perry, I haven't heard anything yet, but I would imagine it has something to do with the long weekend. I'll keep you informed.

Eric

I too would like to hear the rest of the story when it comes out.
