Dogs - just telling the wife about what a good INVESTMENT the DFLE is <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

If you wouldn't mind letting her know about how collectible and increasing in value this particular offering would be, that would be FANTASTIC!!

Thanks guys! (Ilyana is sitting here with me right now, so quick responses would be great!)

Thanks you, Bruce! She is (well, sick with a headache <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> ) and thinking over your comment. Things are starting to look up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

tell her it will increase your libido and stamina in the sack. because it's true!

Unfortunately, it doesn't take much to be a better investment than the Market these days (but that's another story); still, if you buy a DFLE with the intent to sell it (unused), you're just about guaranteed to turn a profit based on the secondary market for most ScrapYard knives. Yard Hooks under-performed, but everything else has appreciated, including DFCGs. The LE's full-height grind promises to make it a better all-around knife than the CG, and it's being released for less than CGs currently sell for on the boards.

Another way of looking this is that, if you buy one as a user instead of an investment, then you'll save money by getting in on the release price rather than buying it on the secondary market. I expect to see them selling for at least $50 over the release price on the day after they sell out (which will likely be Thursday). Personally, I intend to buy at least three.

Ilyana,
How are you today? I hope you are getting better quickly.

The Busse family of knives is in a market all its own, Your dear Dan might have tried to tell you about SR-77, Res-C, SR-101, and INFI, and you rolled your little eyes at him. (My good wife dose the same thing to me so don't feel bad). Me and many here in the Yard could go on for hours about how great these knives are, and are at a price to proformance raito unknown by most in the world of blades. But the busse family is unique in another way too. Their knives with VERY FEW eceptions are a one time only deal after that you are at the mercies of Ebay and the general second martket.

It is very uncomon to see a Busse Family knife sell below original retail, it just dosent hapen that often. a great example of this is the Dumpster Mutt (CG) sold from Scrap Yard Knife Co. for $70 (in about 2 hours they were gone) and constantly come up and sell for $140. They doubled in value and in only a few months.

If you chose to not sell the knives and I hope you never "need" to but it is a matter of choice. The knives will last FOREVER, I kid you not they will. Jordan(?) when he grows up in to a man will be able to say, "These knives were my Dad's and they still out preform yours."

So if you can dear Ilyana allow Dan (diceman to us) to get a little bit of Christmas early, it will mean alot to him.

Thanks guys!

James - Ilyana says "thanks" for the recovery wishes. I think that Jordan will be getting a DFLE when he's about 16-18 or so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

We're going to sit down and watch a movie. I appreciate the input - at least now she knows that I'm not "crazy" or "making this stuff up"!!

-Dan

So, what movie are you watching?

Ilyana, I can say that this type of knife only comes once in a lifetime. Use aside, it will become a true collectors piece! It is not just a knife, but a work of art!

By the way, I hope that you are doing better!!!
