I have bought up to five of a certain run before, but I've always either given them away(1), sold them at original cost(2), or traded them for a like priced item(1). I've only made a profit on one Busse knife and that was an HRLM. I bought two, one for myself and the other to send out for a sheath. I made $20 on it.

It's not like we don't know they are coming. Save for the amount of knives you want. Scrapyards are not Busse Combat, you won't need thousands of dollars to get 2-4 of them.

If you can't afford it today or tomorrow, what makes you think it still wouldn't sell out after a day or two if everyone was limited to one each?
