Dear Knife enthusiast,
I am now an authorized dealer for Buck Knives. It is my goal to assist you in obtaining current production Buck knives at a reasonable cost. Also, you will not begouged by those ridiculous "shipping and handling" charges which many of the mail order outfits use to boost their gross profit margin.
I am an active member of the Buck Collectors Club and you will notice that my pricing structure is designed to give you an incentive to join our club. Not only will you get the best pricing, but members of the BCC also get many great benefits including a quarterly newsletter and the annual Buck catalog. These items will keep you informed of, among other things, new products, special production runs and limited edition knives. If you are not a member, please ask me how to join. Annual memberships are $20.00 and life memberships are $100.00.
Following is my pricing:
For BCC life members - wholesale cost plus 10 %
For BCC annual members - wholesale cost plus 15%
For non-members of the BCC - wholesale cost plus 20%
Wholesale cost is 50% of suggested retail. Club members receive a price list each year with their catalog so the suggested retail is always known. By the way, actual freight charges from El Cajon to Peru, Indiana will be passed along and you will pay only the actual shipping costs from Peru to your address. Again, there will never be any "handling" charges, only actual freight. If multiple orders are received, I will pro-rate the freight from Buck Knives to Peru among all the orders received.
My card is enclosed. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your friend,
Larry Oden
