A question on an ebay auction

[daybreaker]

Foolish link to a live ebay auction.[/I] Wait what?

 

[MORIMOTOM]

what is your question?

 

[upsidedownviking]

The worst part if it's real, is what kind of bind must you be in to let that knife go. Only to see it on the auction block, not the exchange.

(I'm assuming that the seller is not whom the letter is addressed to.)

 

[daybreaker]

Sorry, I should have elaborated. So it was the boss's personal knife and he gave it to a friend... then they're selling it on fleabay?

Posting links to current auctions is considered "auction spotting", and not allowed here.

EDIT: IIRC, it was sold recently here on BF.com (unless it was one of the other 4), and I guess that the new owner decided to let it go on that sIte.

 

[MORIMOTOM]

i see.

well, knives change hands for all sorts of reasons, and often there is no way to tell who will end up with it and decide to sell it.

this may not in fact be the original recipient. the letter sounds authentic, at least the verbage sounds like something jerry would say. someone who has seen his signature could verify if it looks real.

my guess is the boss likely won't comment, but who knows.

Did not mean to auction spot I just had no idea if it WAS real and if it was what happened. A knife like that I assumed someone here had a story.

Same guy who sold the folder.

 

[LMT66]

Is that the seller that sold the folder?

 

[J. Oeser]

I actually saw that exact same auction with the same pics and everything a while ago.

So I am confused.

 

[Grimspoon]

Same guy.

I tried to get him to sell me this knife after the first time he had it listed. He's just acting as a broker for the owner. I haven't verified it but I think the owner of this knife is a notorious banned BF user. Just speculation on my part.

The reserve on this knife last time was $1700.00 USD.

Jaxx, the knife you're referring to. How much did it sell for here on the forums?

Ya know... Now that you say that, I think I've got it twisted and it was on the bay, not BF.com that I saw it listed. My bad.

 

[MORIMOTOM]

ive seen knives listed for sale elsewhere that i have never seen prior to looking at threads/auctions.

what confuses me most, is how did that guy get his hands on so many unadvertised blades?

 

[J. Oeser]

$1700 reserve

I think I will go grab another MOAB instead.

I would rather have yours anyway, Grim.:thumbup:

Mine's okay, it's been fondled by a few guys here on BF but who knows if Jerry's ever touched it!

Sad thing is, when he (ebay seller) quoted me $1700.00 I actually had to stop and think about it for a moment. :foot:

 

[unwisefool]

hmm whatever happened to that folder?

 

[J. Oeser]

Now I understand why you need to keep your wallet under wraps. LOL

 

[Jaxx]

the Cubera? randucci posted a pic of it a while back... Safe to assume that he won that auction.

$1700????? HOLY >>CENSORED<<!!!!! The one I got from Knob Creek last fall (IIRC) was $367 (mebbe $387?). Only thing different? Newer Busse logo and the word "PROTOTYPE" isn't on it. You did good to decline, man!

Wait... What am I saying!!! $1400 and I'll let it go! :foot::foot: (joking!)
