Buck 110 First Version

[honesttom]

WOW check it out on the $-bay, it's at $1500.00 with 30 minutes to
go, there should be some bidding action in the last 30 minutes, any guess on
how high it'll go? this will be interesting.

 

[muskrat man]

I'm gonna say $1600, I have been watching it- a fun show )

I had this silly notion of bidding on it when it was still around 8.

...I decided to not even try to bid the moment I saw it pop up...I haven't won the Lotto yet...

 

[Rocinante]

Well, $1525 ain't bad.

Considering the prices that other collectables are bringing in there field, that is not an outrages price. I see bear traps selling for thousands, duck decoys auctioned off at tens of thousands. The buyer of this knife bought a piece of American History and a work of art. I only wish I had the dough to have been in the bidding on the knife.

I wish it was me I guess a 110 collection that lacks First and Second Versions....is better than no 110 collection at all

 

[RAZORBLADES]

THAT 110 will be worth a great deal more than that in another 50 years,would love to see That auction!

...Sure glad I ain't no "collector"...as it is I may be re-directin' my buyin' habits more towards the Buck "METRO"... ( jus' watch their prices skyrocket...LOL )

I miss the time when we could post about what is on the bay. Like the red, white, and blue 110.
To me, that is a beautiful knife.
Yankee Doodle...

...Yeah...Those were truly the "Good ol' Days"...

 

[Mike Kerins]

So much for polished bolsters having a negative effect on older knives. I think I'll continue to keep mine nice and shiny!

That's exactly what my last girlfriend said! "Ooh, I get to ride in a shiny new sports car!!!"...

(It's actually a 21 year old Vette, but who am I to argue???)

So posting comments about things up for bis is not allowed? I read the bladeforum FAQ and it is pretty vague about it.

We got nun-slapped a bit for watching an item and treating it like a horse race a few months ago Messy. We aren't supposed to even mention a auction until it is ended, an auction site ("the auction site that starts with a vowel"), or (IIRC) the link to a web store that sells stuff. (someone might be able to find the post from the cyber-fuzz).

So, since the auction has ended...here is that Yankee Doodle 110 I referenced above. I would've have gone up to $100 for it. I'm not partial to stone inlays (though I still have that POS "burl" stone one). But this recent one is quite nice: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330082216252&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014

Now Messy, for your Monday lesson: "don't ask, don't tell". Repeat that five times.
