I just ordered a GEC knife last Friday on Blade H.Q. so I know they can be ordered at the prices listed on the website. It is not always easy to find one, but it can be done. I have bought 4 other ones from BHQ, over the past year and all were GEC knives for the listed price. So, maybe I am missing something.
I am sure this is my mistake; I am wrong and not seeing something and this my fault... all my fault. So go ahead and lay into me and please help me out by correcting me where I am wrong and what I am missing...

I was unaware that BladeHQ had GEC knives. Looks like they are still selling these at the MAP prices that dealers use to sell GEC knives for. Now most are selling them at or above the full suggested retail price. One dealer sells his on eBay in auctions and gets a lot for them. I’m surprised they haven’t jacked their prices up too.
I have an account set up with BHQ but don’t receive any emails about drops on GEC knives, is it possible to receive those? I only get generic emails from them.

I signed up for the emails about drops on GEC knives, for a lot of them, different models ... and I have NEVER received one....

it is just a matter of luck to find one...

... If someone is willing to pay about 6 times the listed retail price for a knife...

... well that's what in a free country we call "Capitalism" .... and more power to you!

Are you finding available to purchase GEC knives on the Blade HQ website for $595? Because I cannot replicate that if so.

To make the posting clearer, I am showing B.H.Q.'s price and then also a "re-seller's (I guess) price. As you can see there is a slight difference (about 600%

) The 1st pictures are BHQ and the other pictures in the different format is the OTHER seller.... both selling the SAME item a 2023 GEC pocket knife....

Ok, gotcha. My opinion is a reseller charge whatever he or she likes; doesn't mean I'm going to buy it.

R.R.

it is a free market and you said it best...

Now that being said ... there are a lot of threads/posts that pop up concerning "interesting" prices on eBay... posted by a bunch other people on AAPK .... now I am just trying to show a little bit of a price difference between sellers....
