Do I need Dealer membership?

[all-mote]

Ok well im confused witch isnt odd but im kind of a dealer but not really a dealer people would call a dealer. So if I get some shivs for sale cheap witch wont be often and sale them here. Would I need a "Dealer" membership? I mean I wouldnt sell enough to justify paying so much more like giving good deals. So would just a platnium membership do? Or maybe meat in the middle some where?

Im just as broke as anyone else and wouldnt be selling constantly just good deals on stuff people backed out on local deals. Didnt wanna step on toes or anything and ill wait tell I can afford dealer membership if it makes it easier. Basically I sell knives but I dont own a store that says "I Sell Knives" out front. Just dont wanna get banned for selling a couple knives one day for not having a "dealer" membership when the membership cost more then I make in a couple weeks. Advice?

From the boss....

Just a friendly reminder - You might be a dealer if...
... you buy knives with the express purpose to turn around and resell them at a profit, on a regular basis, then you just might be a dealer.
... you buy knives at wholesale, then turn around and sell them at just below retail, then you just might be a dealer.
... you have a store, or a certificate of resale, and are selling here as a Gold Member, then you just might be a dealer.

Yes, you would need a Dealer Membership to sell here. You can participate in the discussions without a Dealer Membership if you don't spam us.

A lot of dealers don't choose to get a Dealer Membership and don't sell here and there's nothing wrong with that; you're welcome to participate.

In your situation it probably makes more sense to sell on ebay where you pay per sale instead of per year.

Thats cool thanks for answering. I like this website sence I just started collecting and selling knives it tells me what the people like. I planed on sticking around just wanted a little info on the subject. Maybe one day I can afford to pay it.

Ive been looking into ebay and ill prolly do that when I get a big box a gerbers. But when I get customs in this just seemed like a better place, Next year hopfully il be throwing knives around enough to buy a membership here. Now I got an agenda thanks buddy.
