Hi folks, new member signed up to ask a question. I have two Buck Model 120 Generals. Both are definitely 1973-1985 since they are stamped BUCK / 120 / U.S.A. in three lines. They have the big two-piece cardboard box and big black foldover "holster" sheath. I took plenty of pictures but I don't see a way to post them here.

They seem pretty obviously new and untouched: the boxes contain the original yellow information paper, red "Use and Care" card and original wrapping paper. The sheaths are stiff and brand new. The blades look brand new. The handles are a bit dusty and one of the pommels shows a little speckling, maybe some discoloration with age. I don't think they've ever been taken out of their boxes. The boxes are in remarkably good condition, almost what you would expect to find in a store today.

Found these in Dad's cellar after he passed away. Lord know why he bought two if he didn't even plan to use one.

If someone can explain how to post pictures, I'd be happy to.

I want to offer these for sale, probably on eBay (or here). Can someone advise if there is significant demand for these, so that if I put them on eBay I can be assured of ample liquidity so that I can start the auction price low?

Also, would it be a mistake to sell them together? That would be much easier for me, although I suspect most buyers would want one, not both.

Thanks in advance.
