You hogs sure have some patience. Can't wait until my trail scalpel gets here. It'll be a great backpacking knife. I'm pretty sure it's the last busse I'll order. All exchange from now on.

It is sort of like ordering from Palmetto State Armory. You get your stuff for a good price, but you've got to wait for it.

Though I have seen some real deals on the exchange. And most people selling on here are good, honest folk. Most.
 
No matter what....it's always worth the wait.
There are two things in life I have learned to live with waiting on.....my Woman and INFI. Both worth the wait.
 
Same wait for me, first experience with INFI CS Steel in the TS. Figured 13-20 weeks myself, but I made that up in my head, not sure what it's supposed to be. Been so long, not even sure what I wanted it for, and my CC expired so I had to give a new one.
 
I'm more of an instant gratification man myself. Exchange is where I go. Especially seeing as how busse aint selling anything ATM.... :confused:
 
The exchange is normally much cheaper for me as well. After paying Ohio sales tax and the shipping charges I normally can find one after deliveries on the exchange for 10% cheaper.
 
I don't really mind the wait since I have bought so many from OP2W. It gives me time in between ship dates to recover from the cost of the last. And it keeps me having something to look forward to.

Plus at this point, I'm focused on paying off some bills from the move and saving for a new Jeep next year!

That sucks. How much is ohio tax?
 
There's definitely state income tax. Even if you're living in another state while serving in the military

The average sales tax in Bama is around 9%

But property and income taxes are lower, so it's a wash

It varies by county. I think where busse is its 7.25%.

We pay 11.5% sales tax in Puerto Rico!!! Nothing is exempt plus income taxes. We try to buy everything on bases, but even going out to eat gets expensive!

Luckily, we are TX residents so the military lets us keep that so no income taxes. We also luckily have the commissary, even though it's 1.5hrs away, it's worth it to drive down once a month to stock up!

In Sweden we pay 25% tax for items and that is mostly included in the price, so when i order from USA i have to add that in a Busse so that means buy 4 and pay for 5 knives :(
 
I know this isn't knives, but when Washington State privatized liquor, we ended up with about 30% tax on it. Now I think it's down to 18% or so. (Also an immensely reduced selection)

Needless to say, the state run liquor stores across the borders have seen a huge spike in sales.

It's lucky for those who have an option to get what they need without getting gouged by taxes. I never considered that folks might actually be getting their knives cheaper on the exchange versus from the shop.
 
30 knife from busse to go until b13 is shipped, i think i will try to hibernate this winter :)
