Has anyone else noticed that there is a guy on ebay who says he is selling knives for Buck? I can't really understand why Buck would want to pay a bunch of ebay fees when they could be selling their stuff on their own web site.

Got an item number? I'd like to see that.

The sellers user ID is: knot2sharp. He claims that they will be selling hundreds of knives that Buck had stored away...

I suppose that it's possible. If the knives are very few in number (of each one) or one of a kind, it might be hard to list them on the web site. :confused:
The seller is listed as being from Post Falls.
 
It's Joe Houser. He's been selling knives for quite some time on ebay. I know some people, including myself, would like to get a preview of what is there but I have to hand it to Joe for playing this on the up and up. Everyone gets to see what's available at the same time and everyone has a fair shot at whatever comes up.
 
Joe just put on a M9 Chevron Phrobis number 009.. NEW... Man I bet we see some great items...a rare BuckMaster would be nice....
 
IF you want something really neat for your collection. You need to look on ebay and put knot2sharp on your sellers to watch list. I see a great knife from the 1950's . THEY really are letting some great stuff go. Looks like I am going to sell a gun real soon to fund one of these Special BUCK cleaning out there vault knife sale.

More fish in the big pond... :)

(Sounds like CJ found Joe's secret stash) :D
 
Are we to assume that the Duck's post was about these knives that Knot2Sharp is putting up for sale?

I made the jump that the Duck's knives would be offered as web specials, maybe that was wrong.

It's going to be very interesting to watch what gets pulled out the vault for this sell off.
Anybody else wondering about Buck and the "why" of thier selling these apparently very collectable knives?

I have indeed been wondering that myself.

:thumbup:He's got a lot of good stuff for auction.I'm keeping an eye on that 188 bayonet.
 
These are different than the ones that were mentioned earlier in another thread, part of the same house cleaning directive, the one'e on ebay will be more one off's the ones on web specials we have deeper stock levels, we are in the middle of a national sales meeting so things are very busy at Buck, Hope to post web specials late this week of early next week I will send a post the day they go live so you don't have to keep checking the Web Page.

I kinda wondered that myself Flat. Doesn't seem like they would take up that much space, especially the very rare ones .
Duck mentioned housecleaning, must be a very deep cleaning
 
I thought "Duck" was in reference to the Yellowhorse Duck buckle and bolo. Wow, try saying that 3 times fast!! :)

The knives fall into 2 basic groups. The first and biggest group describe "samples" from our special projects department. They span many years and there are a lot of knives. Right now these knives occupy two large mobil racks and the racks are parked in my office. :( I sell one knife and it does not impact the crowding condition I now find myself in. I need to sell the entire contents of one box to make a diference...but then there are over 25 boxes! I may never see my office floor again. :(

The other group is made up of knives from the company archives. These are duplicates. My directive was to go through the archives and if we had two of something, the extra one should be sold. It does not matter how cool the knife is either. For instance, I found 2 proto type 184 sheaths! I almost fell over when I saw them! They are identical so one must go.

It just did not make sense for Buck to have all these knives packed away in boxes where no one could see and enjoy them.

We are using Ebay because it costs us each time we add/subtract a knife from the web site specials page.

I hope this helps answer some questions. :)
 
humm ... sure seems strange to this decaffeinated hillbilly but does seem a way to go..

Dave that likely means Buck employed a contractor to build and maintain their web site.

Besides if you only got one of something why not auction it and see what price it'll bring. That seems like a good decision to me except I probably won't be able to afford and of it esp. considering my Buck buying of late.

Thanks for the clarification Joe. This is going to be great fun to watch and possiblity buy something. g
 
yes they do have the web site contracted out
least is what i understood from phone call two weeks ago
and tho strange it is a good thing to do it seems
