Not much of a record price ????? Retail selling price, from dealers, on the knives was $175 each ===$350 for the pair seems he sold them for $45,over cost ???? less his 13% e-bay fees ($395.00-51.35=343.65 ) the seller lost $6.35 ________sure hope I don't sell none of mine for """RECORD PRICE"""

"THESE ARE TEST RUN KNIVES VERY RARE AND WILL BE HIGHLY COLLECTABLE!!"

Serial #5 and serial #8 are "test run knives"? I guess I just don't know too much about Great Eastern and how they do things.

NICE MONK!!1 ksf has one left great price!!! Man i love the 72

Jay:

I bought that knife from KSF and received it this morning.
It's serial #7 of 27 and it's a beauty!
The price was $103.

I also bought #16 last week.

Thanks for the heads up!

Best,
Stephen

EARL!!!!! WHOA MAN!!!

That herd of Elks is just exquisite sir. Fantastic stuff from GEC!!
I wonder if anyone will be posting 7 from the run............... ......................

He is member here on AAPK. Supply/Demand economics

Just for clarification, factory test runs are not priced like all others. Dealers have a little more flexibility in setting the price. I don't expect he had more than $260 in the pair; so it was a good quick turnaround if he wasn't tickled with the red stag. Now $103 would be breaking the factory agreement unless it were an EDC model; but anywhere between $123 (a loss after finance charges) and $175 would be fair game.

ALRIGHT, Barry I made $45 off each knife. Total 90 is what i cleared. I did pick some up for really cheap! Must have been a distributors listing error. I sold these because i have close to a grand in these red elks. Gotta pays bills too. I hated to sell these they are perfect the best I've ever seen from GEC!!

The record price has to be that guy that went to the open house and bought 2 lazerbone whalers!!! First one sold for close to 500 (i think) the person who bought it posts on here all the time. (I won't throw his name out that's his business.) Second one sold for around 400.00 So he had 460 ish invested plus time travel ect ect Probably made 400-500 off those knives booked marked him on the bay he did it for the $$$$ not the love of GEC.

Monk thanks for the stand up!!!!

Stephen Glad you got the last one. Kinda wanted to keep it in the AAPK family I left it on there, felt kinda guilty for buying so many

BH you hit it right on the head my man---- damn i hated selling these still haven't received money maybe hell back out!!! Won't bother me a bit.

Big Mike, What's going on Prices were erratic on these? Must have been listing error had to of been!!! Test Run was red elk handles ????

My favorite knife GEC has put out to date

It did not take long to gt the answer to that question - WOW - WOW - WOW!!
Jay, those ARE the best that GEC has done imo.......I kinda hope your guy doesn't pay, and you can keep them, LOL.
I have purchased 7 (2 are not arrived, and slim chance they wont happen?) and the price avg was $130.48.
If I had seen any at $103, I would have purchased them all Stephen.................and congrats Jay, WOW!!

I really wanted ONE of these knives.
I dont hold it against you all that were able to pick up a grocery bag full.
But it is frustrating.

Jay, I didn't mean that the price was too high or anything like that; I simply was making a statement about the percieved value of the red elk 72's. I agree that they are beautiful and one of my fav's as well. Personally, with the number of knives produced, I think the value will only go up; especially considering the problems GEC had with that material. I also bought a couple of the white models (from a distributor) at what I consider to be an excellent price. (These do not have the factory test run etch.) Listing errors do happen, and I am guilty of it as well, but I just want to clarify that I don't consider the price you listed (the pair at) out-of-line. In fact, I'm glad they sold at that price as I feel it increases the value of all the red elks, overall. Supply and demand is what drives the economy, and I meant no disrespect in making the "record price" comment.

By the way, nice looking batch of red elks! That's the most I've seen in one place!

Barry,

No disrespect taken my man. It's impossible to dictate tone on these forums, well i find it hard to.

IM-- Thanks- Hope your deal works out, I think these will be the 88 greenbone lp of the future (i hope so) imo

Mark-- If you want a wharn red elk I'll sell ya one at my cost plus a 12 pack of beverages (my choice lol)\
pm me i know how it is to really want a knife and can't get one.

c ya all later football starting who-dey keep photos coming this is the premiere sight for gec info love it!
Jay Parker (not the real one--- thanks B)

Very generous of you Jay.
Thanks
Mark

These will be on dealers shelves very soon. This one will be in my member store later today.

Well,

All I can say is they are mighty fine

BH

A few of the latest arrivals************just for,you guys & gals,that like ___"'Eye Candy""

Now those are some sweet lookin knives Monk!

Beautiful stuff Monk....man I dig that Red Elk

Very nice, Monk. Kinda sucks that we won't see the use of red elk anymore. I think it trumps their latest red stag by quite a bit.

I can't compete with Monk but Barry (Gunstock Jack) sent this Red Stag, Teardrop Jack to me and it arrived in today's mail. Mmm Mmm Mmm. Tasty. It's a beauty Barry. Thanks. And as most of you already know, Barry is a peach to deal with.

Thanks, Jerry! My pleasure!

Jerry its a beauty

Nice knives guys!! WOW!!

Here are some that arrived lately.

Anyone have any idea why GEC is putting that high polish on the handles and do you like it? I'm not all that thrilled with it.
