Price fatigue

[Blues]

I have one more I'm waiting on, after that, might start selling some others, to help cover the price of any new ones.

Yeah...that didn't work too well when I tried conning myself with that excuse. Good luck, though. Maybe you're that guy.

Never had a wedding eh

Jeez, man, I've got two daughters to plan for...one of whom is already obsessed with dresses and makeup. How young is too young to have the "Honey, I will cut you a check for $XXXX.XX if you and prince charming choose to elope" conversation?

The prices are getting harder to swallow! With the price of everything else high cutlery is even more of a luxury now than ever before! I’m def not buying like I used to, $200 for a Bugout with flimsy grivory scales and a 3.25” piece of S30V no thanks…

Lord blessed me with 2 sons, and a daughter coming now... I hadn't even thought of when she gets married. Thanks

I bought my Benchmade 940 in 2015 for $130
Knifecenter has it for $300.

Nothing has changed on the knife regarding Materials, design or even colors. It is unchanged.


I slowed down years ago after acquiring basically every production knife I wanted.
Now it's just getting the rare custom. Along with new releases and lefty/ambi versions of models I always liked, such as the XM-18, Socom Elite and Military2

So...you're saying that $300 is the new $130

They make up the same b.s. when you get older. Oh, it's the new 30....LOL

Payroll, production costs and material costs have changed drastically since then.

I looked at the per capita growth rate in percentage of the money supply in the USA by year from 1995 to the present. The average was 5.23%. Years 2020 and 2021 were 23.39% and 13.15% respectively. This covid money dump was the highest two years by far for the 25-year period. So....................................................................

Now I save my money to earn more, and hover over my trove of knives like Smaug.

I thought we were the only ones. LOL

Fortunately, I love hamburgers. (Though I do appreciate a nice Porterhouse.)

I wish I had a dollar for every time I said I was gonna sell knife to help pay for a new one but never did. . .

Rather than pick through all of the off-topic political posts, we'll just leave it here.

Folks, whether I agree or not is not the point. The point is that GKD is not the place for politics and socio-economic screeds.
