Re: New? Swingers.
$440 buck dollars?
YIKES!
Do you know how many MILANOS I could buy for that? Me neither, but it would be a LOT!
I don't need to call the "California Psychic Hotline" to tell me there will NOT be one of these in my future...

Re: New? Swingers.
Years back I did a lot of trading with Stu. Just went to his site and hotdamn inflation has hit. I mostly trade with individuals and don't pay lots of attention to retail. Is everyone upping the prices? Seems like I bought several leverettos from him for about $55.00 just a few years ago. I knew groceries were skyrocketing because of all the fake money DC was printing but damn.

Re: New? Swingers.
They look awesome, but a bit too rich for my wallet right now.
Also noticed Stu's priced are a bit higher then they used to be. Inflation is hitting everyone.
For now I have my sights set on a couple from Roadside done by Nemo for less.

Re: New? Swingers.
At $ 440 I have to swallow and rub my eyes.
They look kind of like how the AGA Campolin Badwings.
It looks as if only the guards and the buttons differently.
And it is not on it but AGA Campolin AKC
Or have I got that wrong?

Got to love Stu, but he went from wholesale prices to us collectors to full suggested retail plus ...I stated this before, I suspect he wants to be a wholeseller to dealers more than a direct retailer to collectors. His prices to the public are the highest now, when he use to be the lowest and all the other dealers complained he was too cheap..those days are GONE! I suspect his high retail prices help his wholesale business.....

$440. is beyond my reach. It is a beautiful knife.

So many knives, so little $. The missus just called my spring steel fetish an addiction. The unmitigated gall! (But she's prob'ly correct!)

Re: New? Swingers.
No dealer wants to buy from somebody who sells to their retail customers at a price that is so low they have to cut their profits to compete with their supplier. It's like serving two masters only the one that places the big dollar orders of multiple items is generally easier and more profitable in the end plus turns over way more inventory than onezy twozy buyers.Tom19176 wrote:Got to love Stu, but he went from wholesale prices to us collectors to full suggested retail plus ...I stated this before, I suspect he wants to be a wholeseller to dealers more than a direct retailer to collectors.
