May have passed up a real Bargin

Met 1 dealer at the show last weekend who was a Chris Reeve knife distributor. I bought 1 Chris Reeve knife from him...got a good deal. He offered me another knife at a great price. It was a Chris Reeve Neil Roberts Warrior knife..which has recently been discontinued. It was a super knife (As is anything that comes from Chris Reeve) New in the box with sheath, paperwork etc. He had it priced $295 but told me I could have it for $250. Being more of a folding knife collector than a fixed blade collector I passed. Now looking around on the net I see these knives retail for around $329. Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have grabbed it while I could.

I just tell myself "You can't buy em all."
Makes me feel better every time.

Depends on whether you wanted it as a keeper or to flip it for a profit.I've passed on knives before that I have later regretted but that is what keeps life interesting.There will always be another deal down the road.

Yes;that one I'm not going to forget anytime soon
Guess it just wasn't meant to be.
If I can remember I might take a run down one day anyway.A friend of mine(Guy Manwaring)will probably be setting up there and he lives just a mile or so away.Maybe I'll hitch a ride in with him.

Yes I'm sure we have all passed up a good deal or two...just like we have bought something and then wondered the next day "What the heck did I buy that for??"
