What Knife Did You Sell Today?

#1

Post by Cheddarnut »

I sold a foliage green serrated endura that i bought from a flea market vendor that dropped it while open onto the tip right as i was getting my wallet out to pay. It was such a good deal i just shook my head as i bought the bent tipped knife that i would never use.

I traded an Ultratech today for a Millie, my first Millie, and I am very excited for the mail to come Saturday.

Wait are you saying I can get money BACK from these things? How the heck is that done? Can I keep them after I sell them?

My head hurts 😣




Seriously it has been years since I sold one. The most recent that even left my hands was on a trade and then that was a couple years ago. I tend to know exactly what I want (after years of trial and error at least) so the ones I purchase these days are pretty much all keepers with rare exceptions.

Me too.

I do have some that I should sell that don't see a lot of use anymore. They are all so used. That I just tell myself no one will want to buy that. I like to try them out for awhile to see how I like them which means they get scratched, dinged, and dirty. Ultimately they get sharpened and thinned out. I think I know more what I like and what will stick around, so I don't have as many that sit around these days minus a few older ones. I guess I will just keep those around and maybe gift them out someday. I have literally only sold 1 model to someone I really wanted to have it. All the others, I have just given away. I guess that is why I have to be more selective these days. I can't indefinitely fund the hobby if I am not recouping on the backend.

I can't believe how many of you are hoarders haha!! It's fun to get rid of some that don't see any use or carry, to fund something new! I'm thinking my M4/DLC Native Chief is next on the chopping block.

Exactly. A lot of times I sell a knife to fund a knife. Granted my "collection" is small and I use them all but if something is not working or getting rotated in enough I move it to try something I might like better. The number of fixed blades I have gone through is, well, I forget quite a few of them from the past and then all of a sudden see a picture of one and realize "oh yeah, I did own that at one time."

I think I'm ready to move on from the Police. Think I'll hold on to my P3 for sentimental reasons but sell off the 4's.

I’ve only ever sold one knife before, a NIB Captain that a guy on FB must have really wanted….bad! I’ve gifted away probably 6 or 7 over the years.

I was just thinking about this the other day, think I’m going to have me a fire sale and move around 20 knives!

Any fixed blades? Are you going to post them on the swap reddit page? Keep us posted.

Maybe start an alert thread and release one at a time. Then let the good times roll.

I've still got the Rex45, that one is a keeper! These days I just don't have a reason to have 2 or more of MOST models (Shaman and Manix being the exceptions)
