Remove supply and increase demand. How do you think the knives were acquired in the first place? Paying the maker his ask. I never sell knives for a profit. And in many cases, I end up buying more from the maker and pass my knives on for others who can't or don't want to pay makers prices.
Win for all IMO.
Also, some knives don't appear as they seem in photos and you decided you want a bigger or smaller handle.
Chris- love to see what you got going on in a new thread perhaps? "Preview of Big Chris Blade Show"?
