I’m sure I’m not alone here, but I have a real hard time selling any of my knives.
I mean I can sell most anything, but what I mean is bringing myself to sell knives that I don’t love and don’t hate, if that makes sense.
I’ve got knives I love and *had* knives I hate. I have no problem selling a knife I just really dislike, or immediately returning/exchanging a new knife with a problem.
Where it gets hard is bringing myself to part with a knife that I still like, but rarely play with, certainly don’t really carry etc. I’ve got about 1/4 of my collection that falls into this category.
I don’t really dig sellers remorse, but I’ve also got too many knives, lol.
Not really a money issue, but more of knowing there’s little value in continuing to own these particular knives if I don’t love them. I have a much easier time with firearms - if I don’t love it, it’s gone. I have no time for guns I don’t like, but will not go through sellers remorse again selling guns I still love. Learned that the hard way. At this point, I pretty much know what I’m going to love for the long haul and I don’t buy crap I’ll get tired of.
For whatever reason knives aren’t that cut n dry for me.
Any of you have “rules” you follow? Is it a set number limit? A set dollar limit? When it no longer brings excitement? What if does every now and then?
How do you know it’s time to sell a knife?
