They might have to pay more but that’s to be expected.

Actually, if I understand the intent of the forum knives, that should NOT be expected. The idea was to provide a "group knife" at a special lower price to members. If a knife was sold, it was to be sold for the original price, more or less. In other words, these knives are not for profit.

It's very clear that the flippers don't get that.... all they see is $$$ signs. If I get one of these discounted GEC knives, I can double/triple/fourple the cost and make some MONEY!!!

Completely NOT in the spirit of the Forum knife....

That looks like a . . . stiffhorn? Is that right? Who made it - too much glare for me to read the maker's mark. TIA!

Yes, I meant to infer that the price was expected to cover costs of shipping and the original price. I wouldn’t expect a fellow member to ship a knife for free to my benefit.

ok... no offense intended..... I didn't get that from your post.... I agree that paying a "little" more is understandable.. I am so used to flippers (which you obviously are NOT) selling forum knives for 3 and 4 times their original price, it just seems someone has to re-iterate the idea occasionally.

plus, I'm trying to up my post count.....
 
I still say the easiest way to curtail SOME of the flipping is to serialize the knives. Then log which numbers goes to which members, then when a knife appears on fleabay it would be easy to track who it came from. Granted there are times a good standing member may need to sell one, and does so at cost it would still be easy to track if it ends up with a flipper. These forum knives are special to me and allot of others here, despite the flippers and post count padders it will remain so.

I personally don't want this year's BF barlow by GEC, but there's a young lad by the name of Timmy that is in the local hospital and it looks like he won't make it. Timmy fell down the abandoned Tomboy mine and was trapped for most of the summer. I can only imagine the look on Timmy's face when he sees his GEC BF barlow for the first time and opens the blade with the last of his ebbing strength. He has a sister too, so it would only be fair if she got one as well. Thanks so much.

Do you remember the guy who turned up one Christmas (here and a few other non-BF forums) with all the sob-stories?! :eek: They were far worse than this! :eek: He even scammed Bob BigBiscuit :mad:
