If you had to part with one...?

[Jaxx]

I don't agree with this statement depending by what you mean by recovery. The LEs were about $700 and that's about all you'll get for it, while the CG NMFBM were $500 and go for $650 now. So you may get $50 more for the LE but the profit margine is much greater on the CG NMFBM. YMMV

I imagine that the long tern will add considerable value to the FBMLE's...and especially the NMFBMLE's because there's fewer. In terms of resale, it comes down to how long you plan to hold them. In numbers, there are way fewer NMFBM's of both types, so they are 'rarer' than the FBM's of both types. Id you remember, the original offering of the NMFBM's was around only 10 days. The original run of the FBM was much longer.

If I had to sell one right now, and they were both even in comfort in my hands, I'd try to sell the FBMLE first. It will be easier to try to re-aquire one of those down the road, in terms of availability

I'd let go of the FBMLE in a heartbeat over the NMFBM.

 

[Ankerson]

Between those two I would sell the FBM LE.

 

[scrumpy jack]

Ive got both and i,d let the NMFBM go, the FBMLE has a better allrounder quality for me. though as mentioned....sell something else.

 

[tomthebaker]

I had both, sold both, and just picked up another NMFBM.

I would lose the LE, if it were me.

 

[RoyalM]

Another vote for selling the FBMLE. For all the reasons listed above.

 

[begreen61]

First i do what i got to do to keep them both,sell a gun ,ammo Put the wife on the red light district,whatever it took but if i must choose i'd let the FBMLE go.

 

[DowntownDM]

you - keep whatever feels best in your hand.

me - I'd sell the FBMLE, by a small margin.

really?

i thought the le's were going for more than retail, and wouldn't have thought the nm's were going for higher right now. i've been out of the game too long.


but $700 is still more than $650.



i think....

 

[Cappy2cap]

Keep the NMFBM

 

[Grimspoon]

I think I sold my LE for ~800 over a year ago, but because it had been brought into Canada I was making little to no profit (customs fees, taxes, higher shipping fees, etc. It adds up).

They were also only showing up on the exchange at a slow trickle at the time.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd have kept the FBMLE, it's a hell of a knife. Even if you aren't in the habit of collecting LE's.
