How is this a problem? Some folks here sound genuinely offended; like they've been robbed of an entitlement. LOL! The shows always have stuff that isn't available at the stores. That includes all three Busse companies. It's funny that this is new to some. It's done as strategy, on purpose, so folks in the area of the show will come and see what's being offered that noone can get.

What's the problem with reselling knives exactly? It's a testament to how cool all the Busse knives are that they go up in value, not down, right? If you don't want it at that price don't get it. You wouldn't even have the option to own one if that person didn't put it up for sale. So what if he's starting the bidding $20 above what he paid. If one person bids on it the Buy It Now goes away, right? So what if it's for sale. I happen to know that seller has about a 1/2 dozen he'll sell off eventually. So what? What's the big deal? Jerry happens to love that this happens, BTW. It makes his offering more appealing to folks knowing that they go up in value on the 2ndary market. Are you going to come along now after 20 years of him being in business and tell him how to run thing? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
