a lot of folks prefer to keep that info close hold, no doubt to hinder a false market.

Dude, check out a high school economics textbook. An open market where all transactions are transparent leads to pricing that is accurate and fair. Sellers charge what the market will bear, and buyers are willing to pay it, because that is what it costs.

This hidden/seceret BS leads to uniformed sellers from either asking too much or getting taken. Or the converse of buyers paying too much, finding out after the fact, and having buyers regret. This would be your "false market," which you seem to be encouraging...

YMMV,

Personally, I dont give a s**t about markets (false or otherwise). I offered a knife for what I considered a fair price, and someone agreed with me. I'm not trying to keep some big secret, I just prefer not to have an online record of what I have bought and sold and what it's worth.

As a matter of fact, if GlassJax and David E would accept email from BF members (or PM's), they would have gotten their answer the day they asked the question.

The bottom line is I pay for the right to post on the exchange, and as far as I 'm concerned, I can do whatever I want (as long as I dont break forum rules) with my "paid advertisement".

Wow...did I take a wrong turn or what!?! I thought this was the "For Sale: Production Knives (Individual)" part of the forum. :confused:

Pardon me for interrupting, carry on with your debate, please pay me no attention, I'll be leaving now.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
Jimmy,

I realize this is your sale thread and I have no problem with you removing your price, as that is your privilege as a paying member, selling a knife. This thread has helped me understand the system here a little better.

I would prefer otherwise, but like I said, I won't argue that you have that prerogative.

My comment above was disagreeing with Autococker's reasoning of "false markets" which I merely argued as flawed logic.

Hope I didn't offend you. I didn't even realize I couldn't receive e-mail from here. I'll go try to change that. Maybe I'll even drop the cash so I can get PM's.

Didn't know my email was turned off. Then again, didn't know anyone wanted to contact me !

I should now be able to accept messages, etc.
 
Thanks for the info, via private message. I tried to reply, but it bounced back.

thanks again.
