Hi
My first husband(Mark) passed away on Christmas Day 2003 (we both collected Case knives/boyscout) So now I have his whole Estate Collection which I do know are worth over $50,000.
We were life members of CASE CLUB.
Mark had taught me a lot ...but not enough...so I will be asking a lot of questions..... To you guys they maybe stupid questions (but me being a newbie seller of Case Knives) they aren't stupid questions. I was told the only stupid questions are the ones not asked.
So I would be so happy for any help I can get....
I do now know I got ripped off on one I put on eBay for about $200/$300, which was my fault for not researching enough. I had put all Mark's price books away....and got them out way too late. I am hope the honest members will help me out .....I will be asking you to please check out my eBay auctions to see if I am asking enough and describing the knives right.
Please anyone that would help Thank you
My eBay id is treasuryofwisdom
Thanks again
Janet

hey janet, welcome, i'm sure we can answer some of your questions. selling on ebay is a hit and miss proposition at best. book value and the actual selling price can be quite different. post your questions and pictures in our knife related question and answer forum and we will try to help.
