Isn't it time that you sent us something to sell for you?

Once you consider the cost of gas, hotels, tables, food and time to go to shows, or the comissions by the e-guys and the fact that even after that commission YOU have to do the work for them, our low percentage looks pretty good to your bottom line!

RECESSION COMMENTS:
Collectible and aftermarket knives
are a STRONG market right now.

One of my most frequent questions from friends and customers who are not active in knives is, "How are knives doing?"

I know this economy is rough, and is tough in segments of the knife industry, and in other industries in which I am involved. However, just like in past recessions--collectible and aftermarket knives are strong. I think the prices in our last auction proves this, but even more telling to me are the figures from our past three auctions.

We had an auction in December and began getting detailed information through our online bidding. Between our December auction and our February Auction we had a 25% increase in the number of bidders. Between our Feburary auction and our April auction we had an additional 15% increase in the number off bidders. We have almost doubled our number of bidders since our December auction.

Another heartening statistic is between our February auction and our April auction we had a 30% increase in the number of bids placed.

I understand the knives being offered always has an effect on bidding, but I offer the above statistics as proof that knives at auction are doing well.

We have several auctions coming up, a standard catalog auction of a variety of knives, a flash auction including a large selection of knife books, a live auction in conjunction with the Parker Knife Show in Sevierville, and shortly after the Blade Show our annual "Legends of Handmade Knives" auction, which includes the better knives being displayed from our front row tables at the world's largest knife show.

In other words if you need to raise cash, if you want to convert knives you're tired of into money, or if you just want to thin out your collection, don't let the dire predictions of the nightly news hold you back. We have a place for your knives in one of our upcoming auctions--and the prices we're getting speak for themselves.

Call us at 423-238-6753 for more information.
