I love the secondary market and view it as the "real' price and the price we pay at the store as an occasional sale or bargain. It is not like anyone makes you buy a secondary knife ,you could always just wait until the next release but then you would be stuck with what they make. I think the free market for some things is good. If it was not for strong prices people would not put their knives up for sale and you could not find what you want.

I would like to see the prices not so high/greedy.

lol
I said I hate it although I really don't...
sometimes I just wish ONE person would sell a few knives at a fair price. (god forbid the hogs don't just buy them again and re-re-sell them or something!)
HOWEVER!
what REALLY makes me mad is when I see a good deal (I mean a really good deal! like from someone who doesn't know used SY's are worth more on the secondary market or something.) and I don't get it!
just freaking saw a scrapper 6 go for 85$!
grrr!

I'm kind of neutral on it. I love and hate it the same time, just depends if I'm the buyer or seller. I'm a poor college student, so I hate the high secondary price, but what are you going to do? I've become more patient since I got into busse kin knives from waiting around for store releases.

lol
you're gettin their pink... maybe you'll be a JYD soon.

i cant get mad at the hogs for having more money than me since my life is in my own hands and i control my destiny without trying to sounding too philosophical.

i also dont get mad at them for making a profit.being financially aggressive is why they can afford to buy 38 gamewardens at a time in the first place.

people dont understand that this and blood are the two things america was built on and what makes it go round.

sure it would be great to get a chopweiler for the same price it sold for in the store but thats not reality.

it is supply and demand just like anything else and busse controls the supply end while also contributing to the demand part by making such good stuff.thanks by the way.

for people who are dont like the system it all boils down to busse if you want someone to point the finger at but even then you are wrong imo.

if you dont like what someone is doing or how they are doing it than go do it yourself and do it your own way.if you are not capable of that than you cant criticize.

again,its not fun and its not preferable but IT IS NOT wrong or dishonest.it is the ways things are and theirs a name for it........

.....ITS CALLED BUSINESS.

What is the secondary market?

I love it and hate it. It is a great way for people to get a knife that they want and may of missed out on. On the other hand I think there is a little bit of greed involved. I get a little frustrated when I cant get a knife because someone might order a large amount, and then immediatly sell them for twice the original price. I t is ok IMO to order more than one or maybe 10 but to sell the knives right after a sale went down is alittle greedy. I like money and so does most people. But people are making money off of someone elses work eg BUSSE SYKW SRKW. I think it is a needed resourse though.
