For Case knives, eBay has morphed into such a sellers market since Covid started. It seems so counterintuitive ... one would think during Covid with so many out of work, that prices would be forced to go down. However, on second thought, knife collecting is not a necessity, it is for those with more "disposable income" available and perhaps those are not as effected by the Covid layoffs. So, as a bottomfeeder, my knife collecting has dropped off quite a bit this past year - I did manage to scrounge up a few really epic deals - but it's so much more work these days than in years past. I find I'm not spending as much time hunting eBay, as it's been proven to me time and time again - knives just go for more on the used market than they have in the past, which I'm not interested in. You still get the rare estate sale sellers that aren't knife people and don't know what they have (which I target), but the "knife guys" universally have caught onto this sellers market trend, and are asking more, often alot more than they did a year ago. As such, I'm losing interest ... hopefully, post Covid, things will get back to normalcy...
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee
