I bought about half of my knives on e-bay and whatever I didn't like I sold there. If I can buy a knife from a good dealer for for $100, I wouldn't pay more than $80-85 on e-bay. It is always some risk involved even if seller has 100% positive feedback. So if starting price is $75 i would put it on my watch list, but if it has a reserve, I wouldn't bother.

All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick!

I disagree for old knives
If you could somehow take away shipping charges (I wish!!) and all the "fees" (PayPal, EBAY,etc.), EBAY would be the CLOSEST thing to the "free market" (aka open market) out there
