Click on vivi's user name, go to the signature line at the bottom, click on join us at Spyderco Swap, then click the old reddit link. It will take you there. I hope you have some Spydies to sell. There hasn't been a ton of activity there, and most of what there has been was want to buy posts. Some sale posts would be good.

His username isn't there. The page in the link is completely empty.

Click on his user name here, is what meant. I just did exactly what I posted above, and it worked.

[cabfrank]

You can go back one page on this thread, find a vivi post, and click on his name. Super easy.

FAQ

1. What is Spyderco Swap?

A - Spyderco Swap is a forum I have created for this community to buy / sell / trade Spyderco knives and accessories with one another.

2. How do I join?

A - Spyderco Swap is hosted on Reddit, so you will need to sign up for their website first. Then you will need to message me on Reddit https://old.reddit.com/user/spydercoswapmod/ AND send me a PM here. This lets me verify users are in fact from here, and are who they claim to be. You can use any name you want on Reddit if your username is taken like mine was, since I can set "flair" next to your username to indicate your username here. Example of flair

3. The subreddit is private though?

That is intentional. I can open it up to the public if I decide to, but I feel it'd be best if members were exclusively from this forum. You will need to message me on reddit under my username spydienut so that I can invite you in. From there you should be able to freely post deals, set your flair, etc.


4. Why should I join?

A - This should, in time, become the ideal way to deal in second hand Spyderco products. There will be no ebay fees. There will be no BF membership fees. You will not be dealing with random strangers, but people you've held discussions with here for years. International members are welcome. Every member will be manually verified.

5. I'm used to traditional forums and Reddit confuses me

A - It is setup a bit different than this forum, and you can ask me any questions you have here. Formatting posts is a little different, e.g. you can't embed images in comments, and to link something [you put it in brackets like this](then put the link in parenthesis right next to it). Putting words between *asterisks* makes them italic, **double asterisks** make things bold, and that should be enough to get your feet on the ground.

6. What is Spydercos involvement in this?

Spyderco has made it very clear that they will not be held responsible for anything that happens on this forum in any way. This is something that must be understood by anyone participating. While I have trust in this community to deal fairly with one another, in the event of a deal gone south, there is nothing Spyderco can or will do. I will do my best to assist anyone in neeed of help, and will ban anyone that deserves it, but Spyderco in no way will be liable for any deals that may go south.

7. Will you let anyone in that registers here?

For now, no. I will not be letting in members that have been here for less than a few months, and currently have no plans to include people that appear to sign up to this site solely to gain access to Spyderco Swap. My intention is for this to be a place for established, trusted members. For now there will be no hard qualifications, e.g. 6 months since you joined here and at least 50 posts - but that may change if need be.

8. Do you need mods?

For now, no, but down the road I may. I will wait and see how big it grows and what issues we run into. I'm not new to reddit but I am pretty new to running subreddits, so if you have experience with that maybe shoot me a PM.

Wow. Cool. I just applied!

For the life of me I can't figure out how to post photos over there. I have a few in mind that I would be willing to part with, though most of them are "others"

[cabfrank]

I would just post without photos and ask potential buyers to contact you here. Then you could exchange emails, or whatever.

[Mrj]

I have a bunch of pm2 and a few random spydies Id post but I have no way to receive the cash. No PayPal anymore since they changed policy.

[cabfrank]

You could ask for a money order, and ship when you receive it.
You might be able to use PayPal friends and family, instead of goods and services.

Fixed;)

[cabfrank]

Good luck with the sale. Hopefully someone in your part of the world is interested.

Bump for the r/spydercoswap.
Looking for the Salt 1 anyway (C88SBBK), posting it here in hope someone sees it and doesn't decide it's value should be 200+ now.

I’m stupid and don’t know how it works. Does that report your transaction as income like PayPal?

[cabfrank]

I'm pretty sure paypal friends and family is not reported as income.
