WS Woodlore knife

[Andrew Middleton]

I currently have an Alan Wood Woodlore and a WS Woodlore. I have a Bearclaw field knife on order and feel that I'm being a bit greedy. I am looking to sell the WS knife, but am reluctant to use eBay. I would rather it went to a good home for a reasonable amount.

I don't know how these classifieds normally work, but if anyone is interested PM me and I can send pics.

Cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew, you need to put up a price please mate

Well if you are feeling greedy at having a few knives, then of course you wouldn't want the guilt of being greedy on the price so i'll give ya £50 for it

All the best on selling it.

Tone,

I've quoted £150 in a couple of PMs already, so I guess that's the price.

Not for me at the moment as I'm waiting for a blade to handle myself over on BB, but full marks for your ethics.

I've had quite a few offers so far, even without pics. I understimated the interest and I'm not sure how to be fair about this. I can't take any photos until tomorrow evening (Friday 02 June) and I apologise for not being more organised before I posted the thread.

Can any of the moderators offer any advice on how to settle this fairly?

Andrew

first come, first served

you can put pictures up but priority still goes to the person who contacted you and agreed a sale first, if they pull out its goes to the next person who contacted you and agreed a sale and so forth.

to avoid this problem in future ensure that you state the price and include pictures in you announcement

 

[Andrew Middleton]

With Stuarts advice in mind, I have a firm offer for payment today, even without pics. This offer was also the first one in, seconds after I first posted the thread! I'll PM all of those that have contacted me and made offers/ask for further info.

Thanks to everyone for your interest and I promise to be more organised next time.

Cheers,

Andrew

Thanks to everyone for your replies and understanding. I shouldn't be suprised from this excellent group, but it was good to here that you thought my first, albeit fumbling, attempt to sell was done fairly.

Very well done mate

I have one of these superb knives, and as you so rightly state they are going for silly money on e-bay. About 2 weeks ago i saw the micarta handle version which was about £85 if i remember from woodlore sold for £480!
It was very nice of you to offer it to the forum for a sensible price, as least it will be used as it was intended (mine certainly is) and not left in a drawer or sold on for even more profit. They are good but NO knife IMHO is worth £480.....i wouldn't dare use it!
