I don't post here a lot but I'm thinking of upgrading my account so I would be able to sell some of my knives that I make here. How much would it be to upgrade my account?Sorry for the stupid question.

Thanks
 
Welcome! Not a stupid question, but a very common one I'd say. Here is a link to the gory details of a paid membership.
It's here, about 1/3 of the way down the page. Enjoy! :)
SECTION 1- Membership levels
BladeForums.com is supported by members who have paid subscriptions, as such, only certain membership levels may advertise items for sale on this site.
MANUFACTURERS - Manufacturers & their designated moderators may offer items for sale in their dedicated Hosted Manufacturer Forum. Manufacturers are encouraged to contact us regarding pricing for a Hosted Manufacturer forum.
DEALER / MATERIALS PROVIDER - A dealer is defined as anyone who purchases at wholesale pricing, or purchases items with the intent to resell (flipping). Other terms for dealers include purveyor, broker, reseller, etc.
Please see the additional rules for Dealers below. Materials providers offer raw materials such as steel, handle materials, or other items as typical stock.
KNIFEMAKER / CRAFTSMAN / SERVICE PROVIDER (hearafter referred to as "Knifemaker") - Knifemaker's are allowed to sell items that they have personally created or modified in the KnifeMaker For Sale forums, or their own Hosted KnifeMaker Forum. If you are a knifemaker and would like your own Hosted KnifeMaker Forum, please contact us.
PLATINUM or GOLD MEMBERS - Platinum or Gold members are allowed to post in any of the Individual For Sale or Trade forums.
BASIC MEMBERS - Basic members are not allowed to post items for sale. You may post items for Trade in the Wanted To Trade Forums, or post requests for items to purchase in the Wanted To Buy Forums.
REGISTERED USERS - If you have not purchased a paid subscription, you are by default a Registered User. As such, you are not allowed to sell items on the forums. You may post items for Trade in the Wanted To Trade Forums, or post requests for items to purchase in the Wanted To Buy Forums.
Make sure your correct usergroup is displayed before posting!!! - If you are a Gold, Platinum, or Knifemaker member, you need to click on the User CP and select Group Memberships. Make sure that you have selected the appropriate membership group to display on your profile. If you have "Registered User" displayed and you make a For Sale post, you will receive a "Failure to follow the rules" infraction.
 
Not a stupid question at all. :)

I moved it to Tech Support which is for Bladeforums operating instructions. If you go to User CP and down the left side almost to the bottom, you will find Paid Subscriptions at http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/payments.php

If you are going to sell your own work, you need a KnifeMaker / Craftsman / Service Provider Membership. 1 year $50, 3 years $145.

We have forums available for knifemakers, with this note:

Hosted Knifemaker's Forums
Forum's for specific Knife Maker's, hosted here on BladeForums.com. For your own forum here, please contact 1-866-289-1757 or PM the site owner ( Spark@bladeforums.com )

I think you can get one for paying the 3 year subscription up front.
