PRICING MY KNIVES

[sharpsteveo]

I've been out of the knife game for a few years after selling 130 folders. I have some nice folders I might be interested in selling but I need to know what to price them at.
Are there any resources besides searching recent sales or checking ebay to determine fair prices? I don't want to under value or over price them. They are all in like new condition with box. Would checking new prices be a good start? Thanks for any advice.

eBay is a terrible source for pricing info. Everything there seems priced for either dumb and/or very rich people that don't care what they pay. I think recent sales are your best bet. I wish so many people didn't erase what they got after something sells though. I still don't know why people do that.

Courtesy to new owner should they want to sell to get their money back.

so the buyer can flip it for way more money easily.

this has been talked about to death and they have their reasons. some make some sense, some dont. I agree with you and prefer prices sold at stay....but im not in charge, so doesnt matter what I think.

I'm afraid that prices and values can't be discussed here without a gold or platinum membership.

The matter can be discussed generically as to where and how, but that's as far as the guidelines permit.

I guess? It would be more useful to the community to help establish value. Wider courtesy would be my take.

It's not going to happen because the supreme leader has decreed that it will be left up to the individual.

There are many reasons for and against, some have to do with future selling, some have to do with avoiding potential taxes...

It is up to each member to determine which route is right for them and their conscience. But Spark is consistent on this matter so there's no point in belaboring it for the umpteenth time here in GKD.

If you don’t need to sell now, wait - it’s currently a buyer’s market.

This and I rarely pay full asking, I am nearly always negotiating with the seller or buyer behind closed doors.

Easy answer is to buy a gold membership, then you can ask the price. Or you can follow the sales forums. All sales gave a price before they sell, you just have to follow enough to see it.
If you buy the gold membership, you will also be set up to sell on the exchange.

And you can PM the buyer/seller.
