I wasn't talking about anyone in particular. Just like the OP, I'm just griping.

People are entitled to own whatever they want, and if you have close to 20 DogFathers you're one lucky dog. My comment, though somewhat facetious, is that I think it's sad that awesome blades are sitting somewhere when they could be out in the woods doing what they were made to do. That being said, I understand why you would want to collect something that has so much value. I definitely don't have a gripe against collectors. I also agree with everyone that it's pretty awesome that Dan's blades increase in value so much over time. It's a free market and people can pay/charge whatever they wish.

Sure I'd love to go back in time and snag a DogFather and a scrap Muk, but that's not going to happen.

I still keep the faith though. Afterall, this is a community and I've seen firsthand that there are good people in here that will pass on an extra blade at their cost for the sake of brotherhood.

I actually bought a DogFather a few weeks ago for $250 and quickly had to sell it at a small loss because I was cash-low and had to pay off a medical bill. It totally sucks, but such is life. In the meantime I'll just wait patiently for another one to come along at a fair price.
