Forgive the bad pictures, I'm having a bad picture day....

Hi sunburst. If you do not want them, tell him so and ask him to take them back. Do not feel pressured into buying something, now or in the future, you do not want. If you do want some or all of them, negotiate an arrangement that is mutually agreeable to both of you. Just my 2p. s-k

sell more fruit!

I know i want that sway belly trapper

Sunny boy have you been under the weather lately ?

Some thing is wrong here I see 3 sets and 14 knives.

You talk like there are 2 sets and 13 knives. ...

Are you trying to sell them for him ?

Does he like you so much he wants you to buy them and keep them ?

Is he trying to secure his job ?

Perhaps he is just very impressed with your collection (AS WE ALL ARE)that he wants to be more part of your life. Then later he can allways say and I gave him all my S&M's and now he ______??? You fill in the blank.

I am confused

Ralph, Those are some really good looking knives. I haven't seen those sets before, just outstanding

Hello Ken how are you doing my friend No I'm not trying to sell them for him, he wants me to buy them though. This is his way of "not" taking no for an answer...

There are only two sets of knives Ken I just didn't take the time to seperate them in the picture. There are 6 in one set and 7 in the other.

No his job is secure by the quality of work he performs not by anything he can give me...

He had a much larger Case collection than anything I could have put together but divorce caused him to sell of most off his stuff and these are the last of his pocket knives he had put back. He's never seen my collection but knows I fancy Schatt & Morgan.

There hopefully this helps a little..Thanks for asking Ken...I'm feeling great!!! Life has been very busy as of late and just have not had the time or energy to add to the mix but you know sometimes just sitting back and taking it all in is a good thing.

Take care,

Sunburst

TRUST MAN THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT. I'D SAY YOU GIVE HIM AN OLD TORO LAWNMOWER AND SOME WATERHOSES AND CALL IT EVEN.
MAN YOU'RE IN A STICKY SITUATION THERE SUNBURST.

What to do? What to do?......... There in lies the question! You could politely tell him you have moved on to Tony Bose, or (as Johnnie mentioned,) SELL MORE FRUIT!!! Good luck with your prediciment as I know the choice is gonna be a tough one! One thing to remember, if you buy them, you will have absolutely no problem reselling them if you choose. Together or seperate I should think. Smoke
