S-W 8OT
What's up with this 8OT. It's unusually high. I don't think it is bone.

Re: S-W 8OT
I saw that one too, it's nice but not bone. Already much more than I would pay.

Re: S-W 8OT
I've been watching that one too. Apparently it's caught a lot of folk's attention. I would probably pay close to that current price, but not more unless it came with a hinged box and papers.

These bidders do not understand the process, which is typical, and which is a delight to the seller, but this is indeed a good one.

Or, you could see it as a challenge to get 'Mr. 0' bidding 3 figures. Jump ahead of him maybe twice more and he's up to $100.
Go 0 go !

Absolutely. Never bid an amount you are not willing to pay.

The bad thing about winning your first purchase like that comes next week when he sees A BIN in the same condition for $39.99 go unsold.

And we will be most respectful and tell him what a fine knife it is, and maybe next week we'll tell him he could have gotten two for that price.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Yowza! Maybe next we'll see that very knife on the forum and he will want to know more about it.
I will have to say that one is dead mint though!

Re: S-W 8OT
In the long run he'll probably forget all about the price, none of us would pay that much but in a way that knife is worth every bit that price. If they still made them today they would probably retail for at least $80 and it's a quality tool that will give many years of service if he so chooses to use it. And like you say, it IS dead mint.gsmith7158 wrote:And we will be most respectful and tell him what a fine knife it is, and maybe next week we'll tell him he could have gotten two for that price.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:Yowza!

Re: S-W 8OT
I get a chuckle about such situations because I am recalling my own initial forays in to ebay and knife collecting. I also was Mr. 0 purchases for ten 7 day auctions before I too bet the house to collect my first Case Large Redbone Toothpick.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:In the long run he'll probably forget all about the price, none of us would pay that much but in a way that knife is worth every bit that price.

Re: S-W 8OT
I can't even remember my first bid purchase Was it an xx era toothpick? Have any pictures?
Correction: I do remember my first bid purchase, I always tried to stay in the lead and paid $217ish for a brown g10/s35vn steel spyderco paramilitary 2. I was in Colorado on vacation at the time and went to a small area in the valley we were camped in that had phone service so I could bid. What a doofus I was

Re: S-W 8OT
This is the third time i have seen a Delrin 8OT, no box, sell for over $100. During this time there have been numerous other minty 8OT's which sold in the $40-$50 range which i see as 'market value'.
In general, the price of minty Schrade USA knives seems to be going up. During the last 10 years of my ebaying i have seen Schrade USA prices go through a few cycles of high to low to high again. Until recently the prices have been towards the low end and now they seem to be climbing again.

Re: S-W 8OT
For what it's worth, I'm still Mr. 0 purchases on eBay. I never even registered. I have sold quite a few items on eBay though, through buddies who were registered. They got excellent feedback and I got great money, so all of us were happy.
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar.
