Well, what a strange thread!

I'm happy to continue doing buys on that basis - but if its going to cause strife then I can just do it outside of the forum. Given Tony is happy, I'm happy and we can, hopefully, draw a line under the debate with the knowledge that we'll set what we think is a fair price for each buy (and if its too steep for anyone, theres plenty more axes in the woods!)

All the best

Red

I'm fine with it, if there's ever an issue we'll just discuss it and sort it but I think that's unlikely. Group buy away :D

I think we might make a special dispensation for US members who make great spoons and who have daughters who play the harp :D

Red,

As you say, this is a weird thread and has been around the houses so just to add to that...

Where's your Squizzle avatar? I miss the fella.

Squizzle as in Squirrel's p**zle?

Yes, I always thought that was the avatar that caught the true nature of the British Red ;)

As in new avatar rather than squiggle - although I'll put Mr squiggle back eventually - just like showing off the custom metal work :)

Hopefully all is resolved here with regards the Cegga axes. Look at how quickly fuel prices are rising, shouldn't a well respected members' work also be able to follow that trend?!

Nothing's getting cheaper, but when you pay for an item that you will hand down to your grandchildren, you're getting a good deal. And I don't mean hand down to your grandchildren because it is a drawer queen either!

I was just wondering, why the person selling the axe on ebay dident put it up here first?
I got my Cegga secondhand from a member here who also felt he was not making use of it, It was a very fair price and I thank them for that.

It's a fair question but it will only ensure a bun fight of epic proportions. Yes, it would have been very nice for the owner to offer it up here first, maybe with a slight mark up due to the rarity and how much they are sought after, but it is his property and he can sell it as he sees fit for whatever price he sees fit. It's a free market and world after all!

I still feel the same when I see Woodlores going for the price of a third world country, but I suppose after all, if somebody wants to pay the GNP of Turdistan or wherever for a bit of metal and wood then that is up to them! It seems to me that Cegga axes are still sought after and that people will pay a realistic price to own one, even to the point of bypassing GB or Wetterlings axes altogether and opting for a quality hand made axe by a well respected member of our community. I think that speaks volumes of the mans' abilities and craftmanship.

Edit: I know you meant no disrespect, but you may as well have said USGay or similar for any country in the western world, I do implore you to understand a culture and its economics before insulting it from ignorance.

Please don't let this get out of hand, I won't need a reply and if you want to, PM is better so it doesn't blow up!!!

I wasn't taking the mick out of any particular country at all, so I'm sorry if I have offended you in any way. If anything, i would have been thinking of Kurdistan anyway!

No worries, I'm not actually offended, I just don't like that kind of thing in general!

We're all good! :D
