Since I'm new around here, I'm wondering what the history of Ganzaa flipping is? Do some folks buy a bunch just to flip 'em after the ganzaa? Do some folks take 'em to fleaBay? I was wondering that before the ganzaa, if some of the veterans who have the system down try to buy a whole bunch to sell after. Doesn't seem quite in the spirit of things, but hey its a free country. Next question: When the ganzaa knives inevitably start hitting the for sale forum, do they go for more, less, or about the same as the ganzaa, and how much demand does there seem to be for them?

Yes;)
 
crap happens, but jerry believes in free enterprise. very seldom are limits imposed on a busse knife, first come first served and buy whatever and however many you wish. if the past is any indication of the future, your busse/busse's will only go up in value, and crap where did i set my dink errr drink....
 
Oh no, not this subject again:D


Really though, with the way Busse's(and other knives) are moving on the exchange I would be supprised if anyone would think they can flip any from tonights ganza for a profit.
 
IMHO, you should not buy Busse Custom shop knives with the thought of flipping them soon. The market seems close to saturation with Customs and many do not sell quickly on the Exchange. YMMV.

If you plan on selling any for less than you paid, please let me know. :D
 
I think its a shitty thing to do, but it is called hogging. I wish Jerry would impose a reasonable limit during ganzas... say no more than two of each blade. I have no problem with people wanting one or two of everything, but to order a bunch of knives to flip and denying some other participant in ganza a shot at one just to enjoy seems like a pretty crappy thing to do. I believe in free enterprise, but I also believe this is a community and some sense of brotherhood is in my mind appropriate. I'm prepared to be flamed for that.

That may be the case, UDDwaine, its been happening to me lately. I like to see knives up close and personal, then decide what to keep. Usually I try to buy low, but as a Busse NooB, I've overpaid for a couple. Part of learning the ropes, I guess. I agree its better not to flip, but who am I to tell anyone else what to do. I would not be in favor of limits on ganzaa knives, since heck, I might want ten of 'em someday. Good news is folks around here are good folks, and I've gotten good deals too, even as a NooB.
 
lets see you make one of these ducci?
