How do knives sell so fast?

I want a GEC also... but I hate bone handles in anything... I'm only interested in the wood variants, ironwood ideally...

I don't understand why they only seem to make 1% of their models with it :( it's made me just give up on GEC to be honest
 
I will answer the question. When we had the Great Recession, prices were cut. I bought quality swords (not the $99 special or the PRC reproductions) at substantial discount. I bought piles of used Spydercos, Benchmades and other quality folders. I would restore them and gift them to relatives. Man, you should have seen the expression on my auto mechanic when I gifted him a folder!

This time around, people sense that things are going get worse and possibly violent. So the prices are up. I rarely buy a knife now.
 
i watch forums and if i’m really wanting something specific i’ll check every time i look at my phone.. otherwise maybe once a day?

Same reason the securities and crypto markets are so bullish. People are allowed to not pay their rent and not pay their mortgages and are getting free money and staying home looking at their computers.

I really hope you are wrong about that one. If that's what is really happening there is going to be hell to pay when those bills finally come due.
 
I've had knives sell before the listing is complete. Even sold a couple many months after I've closed the thread. Lately, if there is no interest after 3 days, it's time to move on.

The people who aren't paying their rent or mortgage are actually people who need the moratorium. The people buying knives and such are people who hopefully have the extra money to burn. I've only been off a few months during the whole pandemic, so I've been fortunate.
 
with fiat monetary systems, govt's all around the world will just invent the money to pay back all these types of debts

the ones who didn't have good economies before are going to be in a world of more hurt

... either that or banks will find themselves owning half of all housing with no one to buy it...
they don't want to write down $100T worth of assets and lose half overnight... so fiat $ to the rescue
