No Kardas at this moment. Sorry brother. I hear ya. I wish my bank had that zelle. I hear that’s pretty safe and tax exempt. Does your bank have that option?

Unknown, I am not familiar with Zelle.

If you go to Zellepay.com. I think you can search for your bank. If they support it you can sign up for it. I’ve been seeing more folks use that. Good luck my friend!

my Bush Hermit is a crazy low price for a rare dovetailed Fiddleback. See the original price in the pic.

I don't spend much time around here anymore but is there any sort of unspoken or unwritten rule about "dibs" or first posted interest in a Flea Market offer?

Are you referring to a situation where you claimed interest in purchasing a knife and it appeared you were the first to do so but then was told it is sold? Or something different? ??

Yes. I did hear from the seller who reached out to me and the purchase was completed, so a big thank you and much respect for Zardo.

I do remember that you had to actually post "I'll take it" back in the day, on a Fiddleback Friday, and perhaps my initial interest was not specific enough. I'm definitely not a shark anymore but I was a little surprised at messages left for the seller that ignored my messages on the same page. I forget how the frenzy whips up when chum is in the water!

Can anyone here share a link from any recent selling of a Protagonist? I am considering selling the one I have and I'm curious where I should start on the asking price, and with all the work I have going on lately I have been too busy to dig deep enough to find any links myself. Thanks for any help.

Never mind, I found one in the FBF Jan 14, 2022 offerings I can base a selling price on.
