I thought that was going to go fast. It's an interesting knife for sure. Nice snag smith.
Ray, let me know if the opinel is still on the table as I've removed that and the boker for the spyderco. You could certainly put those back up for another PIF if desired.
About value, the rules on page one are that the value of a PIF should be equal or greater than what is claimed. We've been loose on that since bellablade started it but we have been calling out obvious short offerings. In prior PIF threads people were claiming nice knives and offering crap which is a good way to load the thread up with things no one wants. While the thread is intended to help out the community with giving it also helps in turning over your stock for things you may want and offering something someone else may want but not so restrictive that the person(s) you're dealing needs what you have, thinking in terms of a trade (brains not working this early in the AM so please forgive if this read horribly). Keeping the overall value pool of the PIF offerings the same as things work out has kept nice offerings coming and going. The one thing that has caused some slow downs is multiple, lower priced items for one higher priced item but that's within the rules and the person offering the higher priced single item has the option to deny the offering.
Ultimately, it's intended to be self-regulating with a few of us "moderating" it a bit simple because we're interested in the thread. I know I've enjoyed some of the good-heartedness in this thread and some of a random banter to go along with it. I like to think I've made a few relationships through the thread as well, for what you can do through an online forum at least though I've met and talked to a couple outside of the BF pages since this thread opened about offerings.
Note: I may have to come back and edit. I'm known for sending semi-coherent messages in the morning before the coffee kicks in, and rambling, and this is starting to look like one of those times. Spellcheck saves me a lot.
