Nice! I usually only find junk on CL.
Did the person selling realize what they had and just wanted quick money or did they not realize they could have gotten a lot more? Not saying you screwed anyone over, I just hate seeing people, especially old folks that could use the money sell stuff for next to nothing when they could have gotten a lot more. My old neighbor sold her husband's WWII stuff when he died and got pennies on the dollar for it. I looked a the pics of what she sold and told her it was probably about 6K worth of stuff - she said she sold it all for $50. What a shame.
Very nice knives in the pics though, good add to your collection - or are you reselling them?
Good score. Keep your eyes peeled for a 1980’s vintage Gerber mkII with the camo handle and sheath. Wanted one when I was a kid and settled for an M7S survival knife. You have better luck scrounging knives than I do.
Typically it's people selling grandpop's , dad's or uncle's stuff and have no appreciation for it and just want fast cash. Older people that bought the stuff years ago cheap I will let them know what the stuff is going for these days and let them give me a asking price , I don't to the "make me a offer".
No I do not resell them I collect them , I think I like sharp pointy things more than firearms lol .
This is about half of the collection .
That's a really really nice collection!!! Jealous Yeah, I'm the same way, if someone doesn't know what they have, I'll make sure they don't get screwed out of what they could get for it. Unless they are a total prick Lol
I have about that same number of edged things, but they are all just sitting in a big plastic bin, most of what I have I'm not even sure what they are. A lot of old bayonets, various knives and some machetes, just stuff accumulated over the years and never really researched or found out what they are... Some day lol..
