GEC #86 2021: Angus Jack, 2AB, Spring Street Barlow (BF Knife)

[Bluemantra]

Yeah price was a little more than I expected as well. Not sure what they went for elsewhere though

 

[The Amazing Virginian]

They'll be selling them for two fitty on the Bay by the weekend.

I'll probably have to settle for whatever price I can get on the secondary market for these. They're selling out incredibly fast.

I tried to get in on it this time but it was gone in about 10 seconds so i missed out once i was in checkout. Wow! I don’t know how people are so fast. The price was a little more than I expected

Crazy imho, I usually expect GEC's to be between $80 - 110 and that's what I'm willing to pay. No way I'm going to pay a 40% premium.

Excellent flipping profit potential. A quick Benjamin for free.

Are these the fastest selling GEC's of the year thus far?

Enjoy while you can - those days will soon be in the past, like $2 gasoline and $6.99/lb ribeyes.

I'm not selling, I'm buying. So an extra Benjamin to my cost.

I pass on those dealers. I wouldn't buy the majority of GECs at what they list them for.

 

[Nebrasketball]

That red bone is going to be so good on the barlows. Really hoping for one of those.

 

[bax229]

That's the one I'm shootin' for too

 

[mrknife]

You would liked to have seen it more centered?

yes, approximately 2.5 - 2.75mm higher

 

[Bigfattyt]

Had one in my cart...the amount of time it took to enter my phone number it went away and was sold out.

Agree. I’ve said time and time again, I only buy from dealers that don’t preemptively flip on the front end. Too many are disgracefully doing this.

 

[Bluemantra]

What was the retail on these?

I bought mine at KSF for $104 as they should be

Had one in my cart, saw the price and almost fell down from my chair; just below 200 USD with international shippping added. Plus, I would have to pay taxes too... As nice at the Angus is, I can't justify paying that much unfortunately. Congratz to all of you that scored one tho'

Technically this knife would require a Fish & Wildlife declaration because of the wood. This adds $95 per box to the outbound customs cost. Nearly no dealers file the right declaration, but one day they will get caught in a random check.

Have you tried employing a re-shipper so that you can control your own costs and file your own declarations?

How is it that Blade HQ can't connect new releases to the brand in their search bar?
I had "GEC by most recent up" all day yesterday, refreshing, and its come to my attention that they only post them in the general new release section, unattached to brand.
If you go look up GEC now, they still don't come up today.
So every time I've been trying to get one, I never had a chance.
Almost every other Mom & Pop has this figured out...
