Pricing?

[blade_420]

Why did this auction go over without a bid:

When this one went for so much a week later:

Especially when the PC69 (tanto) is more of a custom than the PC10 (utility).?


Sometimes the market confuses me...

Welcome to the free market. More than likely, it was a matter of the right buyer at the right time. Anyone willing to send the buyer a question on why he was willing to pay so much?

I saw that too.

I think the seller changed his mind.

IMO, $230 was too much for a three inch blade.

I didn't pay that much for my BM 45.

No. I watched that auction, and it ended with no bids. It'll come back, as he constantly put those thing up on occasion.

Yeah it gets sort of weird at times Tony????? I saw that one too, but I do think it just depends on "timing" and "luck" at times. Good question though..., I've wondered the same on many Bali-Models I've seen during recent years.

Tony, it did not time out.

Which one? I was refering to the Model 69 Tanto for $160 with a Buy It Now price of $180.

OK, I didn't watch it time out, but I last checked with a little under an hour. Posted to Bladeforums, and when I got back, it ended.
