Newbie: I got a question

Excellent point! Why did noone suggest to sell it here?

I don't know enough about Buck knives to give fair estimates, but from now on if someone wants to know "what's it worth", I will suggest Bernard's Forum and the For Sale Forum... ;)

But there is always going to be someone who will "lowball" an estimate, then offer to buy it for less than what it's worth... :(

I tried to e-mail you but the "uky" e-mail bounced. Not that I would be interested in that set :rolleyes:

The above was a post to Leatherneck from me.

Resulting e-mail conversations were, summarized, that I asked him what he wanted for the set. I would've paid $150.
He wanted at least $225. That's too many MickeyDee $1 Cheesburgers for me (especially since I only collect 110).

I don't really go outside this Buck forum much, if at all. Think I have a few posts in the Knife Laws gig but that's about it. And, I totally spaced on the "for sale" gig in bladeforums (never go there either, but know you gents have written about it before). And figured he was too new to go Gold just for that set. And, I didn't want to overtly ask for selling info here and get banned from this tree of monkeys.

Am not defending Leatherneck...each man is responsible for his own initial defense. Just stating that if someone contacted him via mail he was ready to sell...albeit, for a price too rich for "me".

And, if I was being "PussC" about it, I wouldn't be bummed that the set went for what "we" thought was reasonable, and for what I would have paid for on the spot. So, he's stuck with e-bay fee, paygal fee, and not knowing if the foster parent will abuse it. If he'd sold it to me for the price he sold it for anyway, it would have been $150 in his pocket and the set would be spoiled like a scandinavian blonde

I ended up using my milk money for a 124LE.

A little bit of everything, but not much...

Same here...I'm not a "collector", and I'm not a hunter...so I don't have a specific category that I fit in...I just accumulate what looks cool to me... :)

That's it...I'm an "accumulator"!... :D
 
Hey wh4f -

Since we've highjacked this thread away from its rightful owner, here's a pic I found in my old album from when I just got out of the Service and still hunted...My old Chevy wagon, with a hatch cut into the back; lawn chair for comfort; .243 Winchester; sleeping Doberman; and first kill of the day... :D

We'd go out to a farmers field; creep along real slow (shooter in the hatch), and scan for 'chucks...(with binocs)...spotter would alert the driver, we'd stop, and the shooter would...shoot... :p

The gray fedora was my good luck hat... :cool:
