You've been around long enough to know that ordinary market dynamics don't apply to the Bussekin secondary market.
oh but they do. unlike other manufacturers, who produce on a continuous basis rather than a limited basis, and being the sole supplier to the world of the magical substance known as INFI, Busse is basically has a monopoly on their very own precious metal. don't compare it to knives. compare it to gold, silver, etc..
If you don't like the way the secondary market in Bussekin knives operates, don't complain. Just don't buy OR SELL knives there. Problem solved.
you cannot tell me that you don't see the greed in snatching an early order of as many blades as one can afford for the deliberate purpose of denying another so they have to get it from you.
that's the only type of sale i find disagreeable. we like it here in the yard for our sense of community, united by the knives. that is the antithesis, so surely you can see why i feel the way i do.
