    Interested to see how high people will bid. The most recent auctions across the country have shown people bidding above equivalent items on classifieds websites, even before adding the ~30% fees on top.

    Even stranger, people buy blind from auctions when at Armsfairs. they can handle and pay less.
    I proved this recently.
    I offered a BSA underlever at KP for £165, expecting to sell it for £150. After a few tyre kickers, I gave it to an Auctioneer and received £160 2 months later.

    Nowt stranger than Collectors

    Have at look at the Chris Reeve Knife 352.
    Some would say it was over valued, and others undervalued. I suspect the former as collectors demand mint, and it is late production. Things in the knife world have moved on since these were made. They once sold retail for £225.

    RWS Superdomes are always worth buying if the price is nice and low.

    Always fun.

    I seem to remember a review at the time that said yes they were bombproof, but those Chris Reeve knives were not actually very good to use for any length of time

    I guess 98% of them are drawer queens so it wouldn’t matter
    Morally flawed
