WHY Would an ordinary Case knife sell for 393

[Sharpnshinyknives]

Okay I watch auctions way too much. Occasionally something gets bid up to a level that , to me is ridiculous. Yestday a simple trapper that had green on one side and blue on the other side. It was a 4H, Co-op and FFA knife. No other details were given by the seller to indicate that this is a one of a kind, or a small run, or anything that would explain the price?
It always troubles me because I can’t figure it out. One that Silverladdie and some others list, I know why they go high, but this on really blew my mind.
Did anyone else see this and know what the knife was and if it was unique?

It seems these have become very desirable collectables. Not the first time this question has been asked here. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50475&hilit=FFA&start=15#p540275 Do a search here for "FFA" to find more.

We see that all the time. No one can figure it out. It's a mystery, inside an enigma, wrapped in a riddle. When I see that I just shake my head.

Speaking of HIGH PRICES....
Maybe y'all can tell me why this one one would demand a price of $1700..??

I'm just asking....
Maybe it's worth that. I don't know.

A legit XX or Tested stag 4-blade congress pattern in excellent condition will bring a high price. The one pictured appears to be a nice one (but buffed a good bit). JMO
