Rarely do my folders NOT exceed $50 (see below). Fixed blades vary.For me it me it depends on the knife. A good user will be under 80 dollars and a good fixed blade will be under 150. It all really depends on the situation. Rarely though for a good folder do I exceed 50 dollars.
Funds are funds regardless of the source. Using money from a knife sale to justify the purchase of another knife is just mental gymnastics. I seldom make any serious mistakes with impulse buys. I have a particular size and look that appeals to me. So, selling is no easier. I just have not moved to the point of selling knives..... I finally sold one, and I wondered if I should use the funds to get a new one? There are some threads that go deep into whether to buy or sell. Is the impulse to buy easier to deal with knowing one can sell a few non-users?
I think a good point, and maybe not really meant for the original impulse question, but what about the opposite direction, how hard is it to let go of a knife either selling or trading? This comes into play when one considers buying a new knife. I want to thin the herd, but I wonder deep down do I really want to let them go?
