Sweetest deal I ever had was a Foliage Green Manix for $100 a seller had at a gun show a few months back. I really wish I was into knives when the Manix and the Mini-Manix were still available....
OOOOO I am ZOMBIE THREAD !!! EAT YOUR BRAINZZZ!!!!!
But my best deal was a Blue SE Dodo and NIB Lava for $50 each at my local trading post. I almost cried. I also have gotten a FG Manix from them for $125.
Back in 1998 at a gunshow in Augusta, Ga, there was a guy selling knives. It was the last day and he had 3 Spyderco Rescue knives. He told me he would sell all of them for $25 each (all were NIB). I got all 3 for $75.00...that was a great deal, even back then.
my best deal was swapping a LNIB EKI commander i had ~ $150 in for a LNIB PE Ti ATR, it was right when they were disco'ing the Ti ATR and they hadnt started going up yet, i also swapped a 90% millie and $50 for a SE Ti ATR whach also wasnt a bad deal imho, it was (is) my 3rd Ti ATR, i also have a SS PE.
i also got a endura SE from a sporting goods store that was going outta 'biz for $29.95 another good one.
I got a Delica 3 with a broken tip for $3.00 at a flea market. I profiled the tip on a grinder and ended up with a shape that more or less looks like the Delica 4. Can't complain about that one.
Ready to pull the trigger on my first Military, I walked into my local Spyderco dealer with cash in hand. The only Millie they had left was the one in the display case. Sensing my disappointment, they offered it to me for $80
A deal I could not refuse
Used fully serrated Police for $45 shipped.
Used partially serrated Endura and gerber money clip for $25 shipped.
Practically unused Temperance for $49 shipped.
Well, ok, I bought that and four other little knives (Classic SD Saks) for $10 total.
I got it off craigslist from a woman who had a box of knives. I also got stuff like a Kershaw Leek, Victorinox SwissTool, Leatherman Wave, etc. for less than $10 a piece from her.
I got about 1/3 of my collection just from her. I was stoked.
