Maserin Gourmet 380 Burl Wood Folding Knife

If a retailer pays a dime for legal work to defend that case, and doesn't counter sue to recover those fees from as frivolous a lawsuit as that, then they need better lawyers lol You had said "This is about a knife, what happens if it was about you and you were running for office or applying for a job", i was just saying that's not really an equal comparison, that's all. I understand everything you're saying, i just think taking examples to the extreme, beyond anything that would reasonably happen, is counterproductive. A more realistic consequence to continuing to be so laissez-faire about this situation is that Drop will lose profits if people start returning every product that doesn't 100% match a description. If they make $15 off a sale, and it costs them $5-10 to ship it and $5-10 for an RMA, plus wages for the people working the support tickets, plus wages for the packagers and handlers on both ends.....multiplied by the number of people they sold the incorrectly advertised item to.....that's going to add up to a big loss if it's a popular drop. This is why they almost always offer a $10 credit "for your trouble", if you're willing to just keep it. I think the realistic consequence should be PLENTY reason to take 5 more minutes verifying facts on every drop page

Unfortunately I am very legally oriented. I agree the onus is on you the buyer, not Drop. However, as a business person Drop does not need to take this risk over stupidly not describing the product correctly. If someone is arrested for having a knife that is not allowed then I can assure you the buyer of the knife will think (or their lawyer will) about suing the retailer who misrepresented the knife. They probably will not win but defending this case Drop will have to pay for legal work. Why do they make themselves vulnerable, it certainly is not hard to fix this? Also Drop should put more effort into getting these ads right, they continually make me think they are a bunch of amateurs running the show. I have no idea what you are talking about when stating this is not about you, job or politics. It is about the sloppiness of getting facts straight and no one caring and this can cause a lot of problems of which I gave a few examples.

Again, I'm not disagreeing. Misrepresenting products you're selling, whether by neglect or willful deceit, is not okay. But your hyperbolic, theoretical scenario in which you seem to be insinuating Drop should be held liable if someone is arrested for carrying this in an area where locking knives aren't allowed....it's a bit absurd. If you get this knife in hand, open it up, see that it locks, and decide to carry it anyway...that's on you. If you want to carry something that could be considered a weapon it's your responsibility to be certain you understand the laws (including the definitions of all the words in those laws) Try telling a judge "this online retailer in another state/country described it as something that should be legal here!", let me know how hard he/she laughs before passing sentence. 🙄 This isn't about me, a job, or politics. Totally different scenario, and I wouldn't let those mistakes make it to publication. Yeah, so sad that 'in this day and age' we suddenly can no longer trust the 'fake ne'--err, i mean 'fake information' fed to us by salesman! Oh. Wait... [image]
