I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but it's time to thin out some of my duplicate Spydies and reinvest in my collection. I'm wondering where is the best place to trade/sell knives online? I'm aware of BladeForums and The Cove at USN. Are the fees at these places worth it?
Thanks,
Ira

I'm not so familiar with USN but on Bladeforums you have to be a gold member to sell/trade in the exchange part, 1 year Gold Membership is 25$, it gets cheaper if you purchase it for 2 or 3 years.
IMO that's worth it especially if you have a lot of blades to sell and you also get all sorts of other goodies as well, plus you'll be supporting the community. :)

If you don't mind selling overseas you could also try the Dutch Knife forum;
http://www.messenforum.nl
Because of the literally huge price differences on knives between the US and the Netherlands there is good money to be made for Americans who are willing to sell & ship abroad.
You would need to register there first which is easy, but there are no fees involved and you can buy & sell in your own language in the international part of the forum.
So no need to learn Dutch, :D
And it's safe to say that there are quite a few Spyderco aficionados in the Netherlands as well,
Good luck, whatever you decide,

I've had good experiences with Knife BST.com Ira. There are some good deals to be had, you'll see a few familiar faces there too.

Ive been trying to sign up for Knife-bst for a few days but the security code is a pain in the butt.
The colours and abstract digits are hard to read.
Lots of Spydercos there.

These are the ones I visit and buy from:
Bladeforums.com ($25 yearly for gold Membership)
CPFmarketplace.com (Free)
knife-bst.com (Free)
Usualsuspects.net ($35 a year)
Jerzeedevil.com (free)
Bladeforums seems to get the most exposure but they are all great places to sell and buy from!

Least hassle free is the USN in my opinion. I like Jerzee as well. Ron is a very cool guy.
I like the fact that only paid members can access the buy, sell or trade forums. Keeps the riff raff out. $25 is a small price to pay for buying, selling and trading.

Nope, can't do it. I figured out what all they were asking for during the registration process, but whenever you go to the next step, all you get is this Error message.kwakster wrote:If you don't mind selling overseas you could also try the Dutch Knife forum;

Thinking it might be because I was asking for the English version, I tried again while leaving the default language selected.General Error
Language file ./language/en/en/common.php couldn't be opened.

I've bought and sold on knife-BST.com, and although it was complicated to give credentials to them in the beginning, once accomplished, the deals there have been very well done, fair prices, and rock solid trading partners from around the world, IMHO -dp
