Hay mike, so don’t worry of him... remember the special olmp posting... any way we know what we want... they don’t have to make a deal of it i would be glad jest to have one i can look at for free if it had been here!!!! Weather i could post of not! As i am sure if i know you u, u would be also!

i can see sharps (HPIC) point as not long ago the whole site went down and he bought a lot of server boxes to get it back up and it did cost a lot and a lot did not join to help ... i did not then but on thinking back i wish i had then.

What we as a group of dictated buck collectors have to be careful of now is a troll coming in and using a stick to stir in that pooppot causing a stink so we don’t get what we are politely asking for. Which if we get it we have to take care of it so we can keep it...

yes it is possible that if they don’t do it here that the place were we went when the outage occurred might ( why don’t you go there and post a request ! i have a friend that told me that the mod’s there were discussing it ) and note buck there is the only brand forum ...
and as you say it is non paying members that make it lively for the paying members to talk and share their knowledge and opinions.. and in that the newbie’s many times buy in like i did.

i had not joined as a paying member before as most all and then some of the spare money was used for knives. i am on fixed income and have a wife to please also so i pinch were i can to have small luxuries.

it was in having to not only bid against you guys but buy and sell from you also and paying the evil E to do so it came to me that would it be wonderful if maybe i could do it here!! i have tried the free listing also and come ump with nothing...
and here, i admit, i have tried to snick a hint of one of my listings in before but caught by mods and i corrected the posting. yet i know there are those who post eBay listing as a have you seen this and it is by some one they know.. hell we all know each other... but do we really want to mention each others listings as fav's to each other and get around the no post your own listings?
naw ~ we want to be straight up and be adults and request it.

i also was hit by the fact that like on ebay if i type in buck i get so much trashy overseas JUNK with a deer or to use on a deer that i can buy a 100 for 59.95$ that i could puke... they even post "buck folding hunter knives like a 110"
and the listing fees and value sale fees and such bull s...
i have paid more then 10$ to sell one DM 112 !!!! which is what a basic member ship here is and i would sell it to a collector i know for less the a stranger on ebay as i am sure many of you will do...
and who know if it works it could lead to some thing better them then evil E...
so stay KooL don’t let a troll sock you in ... hummm did you vote for your mother in law yet? or should I call Jenny!
 
IF they would get a tading selling section for BUCKS only I think guys may want to spend the $10.00 to join. I also do not find any Buck knives for trade on the forums? I would be interested :D
Jim
By the way Dave you did a great job replying to sparks! Are you a politician? :D
 
Dave,
I agree that if they allowed for a sticky for selling, buying or trading Buck knives at the top of the Buck forum, I would probably spill for the $10 basic membership.

Sparky, if you're reading this, right now, there is nothing you currently offer with the basic membership that would make me want to part with my hard earned $10.

One of the advantages of membership in the Buck Collector Club is free classified ads in the newsletter. (In case you non-members didn't know).

Seeing a non-Buck knife advertised there is a rarity and as the member website is developed further, I would imagine that buying, selling, trading between members could become a common practice.

Just wanted to add the info as food for thought.

Dan I agree with you BUT,
I checked that list before I sold a knife on ebay everytime! I only got 1 guy to reply back from about a half dozen emails. and then it was no i'm not interested. I had a listing on the BCCI site for 6 months and never got an email! I put one posting on Blade forums and I have a reply that day!!!
I am unsure how long the BCCI site has had the trading zone but it is pretty stagnant...:confused:
Jim
 
You guys are both correct, we as active collectors building our collections are after EVERYTHING that the long timers already have… some times they shed some for more complete, better condition or dif serial no. or have changed the nature of the collection to do one type…
Were as we are jest building or improving ours…
I did not want to sell any of mine at all but as the collection grows and I have more pride in mine I want to show off better knives or a more complete group. However like all the rest of you buck fever nuts I have to make choices,,,, I cant have it all, so reluctantly I sell some, ‘cause I have to…

There are a lot of knife sites, some are sales only and some are comment only. Truly this would be a very unique site if we get the buck sticky as none of the other sites have brand comment and a trade BB for the members in the same sub forum! { OMG a First } Now don’t you like the idea of a being part of a cheery operation!

Jest think of it, we could get a place to do it all! Read and see what others have and if we see one we like, we can look to see if there if it or one like it is for trade Right Then & There! …

I jest know it will work as it does already in a bass-ack-wards way through the Evil E,,,,.
Were we PAY lots to do it… of course we have to charge each other more there then we would here to pay Evil E their cut!!!!

And of course if they do a sticky they can also post one or two sponsors who would help with the cost!
One of them could be: Onestopknifeshop.com & one could be buckknives.com …
And who knows, with sponsors it could even be free!
Though I rather it be members only in order to keep it buck fan’s of the site…

Of course if Sparks (HPIC) likes the way it grows it could developed to a knife sale site maybe even a auction site were he would get the fees instead of the Evil E !!!

hay keep vote/posting so Sparks {HPIC} knows we are not jest a flash in the pan!

Guys, if Spark should do this for the Buck forum, he would then be obligated to do it for all the forums. And the amount of software changes to BF would be a chore.

I think he could have worded his response a bit better, but I can see his side of it.

So what does it cost,,,, less than a buck a month to be able to sell here on BF. You would make that back in your first couple of transactions and is cheaper than ebay.

And I haven't seen any rules that say you can't come back here and post a note that you stuck something in the exchange to let us know. I have seen it happen on several forums.

I would love to see us to be able to do all of this specific to the Buck forum, but I can see both sides. And I really don't think it is all membership related. I think that may have just been some sore spot at the moment. I have been around servers and networking eqpt enough to know some of the expense involved, not to mention the setup time and effort involved.

I appreciate Daves effort to at least ask, and I appreciate BF being here for us.
Well,,,maybe I do....this knife addiction has cost me a ton of money the last couple of years. But it has been a fun ride :) :thumbup:

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one Pack Rat. All we're asking for is a sticky placed on one thread to allow it to stay at the top of the Buck forum. The subject would be Bucks to Buy, sell or trade. No software mods required.
 
True Mike,,,good point.

Who would clean up the sticky after it got out too many many pages? Just curious about a maintenance issue. Might not be an issue. But I could see it getting overloaded if like the exchange now, where all the back and forth responses get posted.

Maybe a single post with all responses being offline to it.... sorry... drifting...
I have been retired too long for all this thinking...
 
My oh my, you guys are both right again !!!
BUT WATE >>>>
NOW in case you did not read between the lines and catch it
here it is again >>>>

Spark said:
If you aren't supporting BFC by being a paying member, you are not selling knives on this site. There is a free trade section, which you can use, along with a free search, which you can use for finding Buck knives in the trading section. However, if you aren't going to help me defray the costs of keeping this place open, you don't get to sell your collection here.

Now let me get rid of the non-sticky request stuff and see what he realy said and he was nice in doing it, remember he has a rep of toughness to maintain so he can not sugar coat things…

Spark said:
”If you aren't supporting BFC by being a (#1) paying member, you are not selling knives on this (@1} site.” … “However (&1) if you aren't going to (#2)help me defray the costs of keeping this place open, you don't get to sell your collection (@2)here.”
Click to expand...

Ok now what has he said~
# 1 ~ he has stated his first requirement~ you must be a paying member
# 2 ~ he is stating that paying members that help defray cost get bennies
OK that has said a LOT ~ did you get it? Here is more…
@1 he says ‘here’ which has to be a ref to this buck forum were he was he said it.
@2 he used the term “don’t get to sell here” again a ref to here being the buck forum.
And most important …
&1 he used the qualifier of ‘If you aren’t going to help” -with the reverse meaning being- help and you will get what you ask for …

WOW did you not read & hear that !!!
WE GOT IT you buck nuts !
WOW what a man that Sparks (HPIC) is !
A really fantastic and great guy and being he is the Owner he can grant it, to barrow a line for a equility great moive ~ "as it is writen so shall it be done" !
I told you we could get it!
It in essence means if we are willing to join and help pay for the whole site we can get what are petitioning for!!!
Jest pledge to join and the sticky is ours and it will be for paying members ONLY ! Now the only question I have for Sparks (HPIC) is=
Will a basic membership be good enough or would it be necessary to be a gold member?

Speaking for the other buck form regulars
"Thank You So Much"
I am on their behalf
Most gratefully yours,

Ok I hear you on the sticky working issues…
Now that seems we got it comeing ~ it is the time to add coment concerning workings of it as buckman #10 did BEFORE it gets posted as a sticky!

And I have thought of some sides of the issue of placing a sticky at the top of the buck forum right under the BCCI Member ship sticky.

Yes when we get it there and it works do you not expect the other brand nife knuts to NOT want one of there own? Don’t a few of you also have other brands you like a little? Let them take the leap to be bold enught to ask for them selves! They are Not our concern here.

Now what does the current sticky do but announce that the BCCI is open to new members. It currently has like 6- 7 or so pages…. I have seen it were the “40 / 11” pages went back to “Hello , I will be your moderator for this buck forum,,,” and I belive it was the founder of the buck club Vern T. and in reading them I found lots of comments by Chuck B. sr., over part way through Joe makes his appearance as moderator… man it truly was like over 110 pages ~ yea pun intended… and I learned a lot reading it but look at it now…

So that tells me that they can archive any thing over 1 year old with a few keystrokes and reduce the current demand as archives are for paying members only I believe.

IN this forum other stickys have been ADDED and taken AWAY over the few years I have been watching this space…so the issue is not soft ware really but willing ness to take the time to do it. And why should he unless it gets more support for the forum in general which takes a lot to rum.

Truly I have seen this forum change a LOT … why we even have posted forum name and eBay name list so we know who we are dealing with.
Now why would we want to know that info?
Could it be ‘cause we would pay or not pay that extra 2 or 3$ in a bid ‘cause we were joking with him last night and consider him a bud or not bid ‘cause you know he wants it? Naw that can’t possibility be with you ‘cut throat happy’ bunch of “sick with buck fever out of your mind” knife nuts!!! This sticky we will get will accomplish most all of that in one fell snipe! No more wanderings whom is whom… (man these colors are fun!:D )

Much of the info i learned I cant recall fast enough to post answer to questions I read here before some one else… I have seen in those pages the older forum / BCCI members go from answering LOTS and LOTS of questions to were we have to jest about have to beg one of the old timers to show up and many times it is a “ do a search to find the answer” :thumbdn: … I have and many times it takes rephrasing the search parameters several times to finely get to what you are looking for… we all have our own difficulty in finding answers with many times it being we don’t know were to start… so we ask…

We the regulars now have changing yet much the same questions and this forum is the best place to ask and express them and have fun doing it… we hear from the old timers once in a while but it must be that as this is no longer new and exciting to them they dont talk much… they still drop in some times but not at all like thy used to… if you don’t believe it do a search of all post by any of them from way back. Which is how I find much of my info is by picking a name and reading ALL their old postings… they dont post like they used to... and they have so much info note why i say of this is above i belive arcives are for paying members only...

So are we all in agreement that it is OK to have the sticky being for paid members only?

If so ~ lets roll!
Post you ideas here for it!

edited to add : my brain and fingers are tired so you guys have to carry the ball and if you drop it so be it... we loose it ...
post and post offten to keep what we seem to have gotten...
 
a couple of months ago i bought a buck knife from a fellow forum member here (thank you) and i saved more than the cost of the gold membership just on that one deal alone (as opposed to buying off ebay) then there is all of the info available from all of you knowlegeable people
and the entertainment and humor is priceless
so if any of you are wondering if it is worth the $50 for a gold membership i would have to say for me there is no question yes it is well worth it
i suppose to some even $5 would be to much well to those i would have to say loosen up the purse strings it is money well spent even if you arent interested in buying or selling there are pics and stories and good advice and the support of a great community so the very least we can do is give a little monetary support
for 90% of the people here it will pay for itself many times over
and the sticky on the buck page is a good enough idea it would make things simpler for some people i personally collect more than just buck so i would still use the main exchange but for the buck when they already have their own subforum it kind of makes sense to have listings there
to keep the thread clean have 3 threads 1 wanted 1 sell and one trade and only post to it if you want it otherwise for info or pics or haggling keep it to pm or emails
thats my two bits worth anyways

and yea keep hagling to email defently ...
yea.. defently email hagling ...
and nothing to stop one form sending a paypal donation of a " buck " on a "buck' sale if they can take paypal ... man my fingers are tired but worth it ...

yes you are right dave i stand corrected 25 for the gold 30 for out of us

so for 25 bucks i cant see how you can go wrong the next time i renew i am going to spring for the platinum upgrade i think the extra features would be well worth it
one important thing to be mentioned is that if a person was sellig high volume like a store or business (more than a couple of the same knife) they would need a dealer membership or risk being banned
 
What is so hard to understand? If people didn't pay for the privilege of selling on Bladeforums there wouldn't be any Bladeforums. If you want to post knives for sale without paying for a membership there are places on the net where you can do that, but Bladeforums is not one of them.

If you don't want to scan through the thread list to find Bucks for sale click on "search this forum" (in the appropriate forum, For Sale: Production Knives (Individual) then "advanced search," select "search titles only" and put "Buck" in the keyword field. (If you search all of Bladeforums for every occurrence of the word "Buck" that will overload the search function and you'll get no results, but if you follow those directions you'll find what you want.)

If you don't want to click your mouse to go over to For Sale: Production Knives (Individual) you're out of luck.


I haven't seen any rules that say you can't come back here and post a note that you stuck something in the exchange to let us know. I have seen it happen on several forums.

If you see that again please click the "report bad post" button. Spamming the discussion forums is against the rules and we do enforce the rules, but we have to depend on alert members to warn us about spam.
 
Ok it worked but no one everr told me how to do it and i did look my self... thanks for the lesson, if i rember it i will be doing much better IMHO it kis not hard buit it is not easy as it is not self explaintory at all.
i still like the sticky better and willing to pay for it as i thing many others would...
i will admit that the results show thoes that may not come to the buck forum and list as they are not real hard core buck fans !

i realy dont know what to say how to go with the sticky as i am sure many of us did know how best to do that above...
perhaps a sticky with the instructions and link like you have done would be agreable and work for every one ?

i jest went through the entire listing i got for 'buck' and the ONLY name i reconise is scott's

non of the others have i ever seen posting here so many must be lurkers like the daveH guy ...

so it is still a in the know thing.... i am sure scott had not see this discussion or he would have filled us in as he is a great guy...
but why did not sparks fill us in ... or that daveH dude... knolage can be shared you know.
or is it it that many like to see stured up people posting .... this is not the cove or a all's fair sub forum... or at least i did not think it was...
so also it depends on some one reporting forum abuse = if you arent steping on some ones toes you willl get by ...maby...

i still like the sticky idear as do my two yorky's ...
i wil admit if i had known other wise i would have not come ahve pushed as i did ... so i feel like ... well
i still like the idear of our own sticky here for sale... it is easer and we know we know who we are dealing with as we see each other bidding =agenst us all the time and i know i would rather sell cheper to a fellow collector that i chat with or read of then to dealers in it for the bucks ..

i would post on our sticky here FIRST if we still get it ...rather then ebay or the other trade forum...
but be as it may
i tryed for all and i feel embarsed over it so i will jest lurk and sulk for a while tell this thead goes to page two .. that is unless you guys still post for it other wise cougar deleat this therad and send it to the arcives or at least lock it tell it so it goes away form the first page...


last word on th subject from me ~
i still would like to have a sticky
:(
