BH - the Mutt was $70, plus $15 for shipping makes $85. Like kirk said, if you're in Texas, that puts it in the $90's. I think a Mutt for $100-110 is a pretty reasonable price. $150-160 is ridiculous - but if someone will pay it, I guess people will ask that much.

When I got my CGFBM on the secondary market, I paid for the knife, the shipping to Canada, and then the shipping back to me in the USA - the guy I bought it from got maybe $15 more than he put in to it after shipping costs, but you can't expect to get something "for nothing," usually. I paid about $60 more than the knife would have cost had I been a month earlier and gotten on from Busse, directly. As is life, I guess.

I, like RW/Jeff, was annoyed about seeing the flipping when I first got here, but have come to accept the fact that it happens.

BUT, as long as you're "on time" for the feeding, you shouldn't ever have to deal w/ the secondary markets!
