I know there is a list for member names and ebay handle. Is there a list for what each member collects? I pick up knives I know others collect and they do the same.I also find knives on ebay that don't have the makers name or pattern in the title and can be easily missed by a collector.It would be nice to have a list to help others find what they collect.

Re: Wanted list for AAPK members
Excellent idea.
Sounds like the perfect job for someone with plenty of spreadsheet experience who also spends an inordinate amount of time surfing a wide variety of knives on eBay...
Hmmm...why does the name "TwoFlowersLuggage" keep popping up in my mind?

Re: Wanted list for AAPK members
When I saw the title of this thread my first thought was "oh no! We made the list on the wall at the post office!"

If someone gives me the data, I can spreadsheet the heck out of it!
However, collecting the data on who collects what is 'nuther kettle of fish. I suspect the problem will be in the details. For example, one person might describe themselves as just a "Case Collector", while another person might say they collect "Only mint condition Case green bone knives from prior to 1940", and a third member might say "All Case Copperlock, Trapperlock & Russlock knives". Ultimately, you would need to manually scan down the list and make the connections yourself. I also suspect that more often than not, when you contacted the member with what you think is a match, the member might not think so, or might not be in a position to purchase. I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, but I also wouldn't want you to spend time looking for knives for me and then have your effort be for nothing.
BTW, I have NOT purchased a knife on ebay *today*...
