Go Figure!

Post by bonehead »

Hey Guys,

As a sunfish guy, and a GEC fan I look around a lot not to buy, but just in case there may be a deal. Not too often today but sometimes you may be looking at the right time.

Today I saw the price on this sunfish and was floored..... Nice knife but wanted to know why so much? Yes it was (1) of (3) made including the proto. I know this because I own the proto and although its a nice knife I wouldn't even consider it to be half of what this fellow wants for this one ::disgust::

I always have a hard time when people with relatively knife knives really try to take advantage of the buyer, Yes to make a profit, Absolutely. But this is crazy.

Absurd price. I've added this to my watch list just to see what it sells for.

Almost $600! ::uc:: that's ridiculous! You could get a mammoth ivory for that kinda money. I certainly hope some newcomer doesn't give in to that. ::td:: ::facepalm::

Guys,

I'm sure if it gets sold it will be an accepted offer. But then again why would anyone offer even close to this money?? Oh well not my business......

Wood Guy?

How many in your wood collection of GEC now? No worries, if you don't want to say..... ::doh:: Very nice collection, never come across one who collects primarily wood, Kinda different, I like that ::tu:: Perhaps the same as myself in my sunfish, I don't want to say :oops: BH

Just kidding bonehead, I am in the process of going thru and ren waxing and oiling the "collection" I honestly am not sure myself right now... ::dang:: this is the first time applying ren wax, before just oil.
I am redoing my inventory list as I go, I got a few left and then I'll put the list together again. ::doh::
