There is a lot of info missing on that site... BTW I dont think it is operated by the same person (Josh) - is it? What happened to Bladebid?

It was free so he probably doesn't care about it. Just my guess.

i looked into making a auction just like bladebid but the company they go through charges 300+ a month so it wasnt free for him and this is why i dont understand why he would just let it go .sammy the blade wrote:It was free so he probably doesn't care about it. Just my guess.

Re: bladeauction.net - New knife auction :)
It was probably costing him money, with very few sellers he couldn't be making much money. Could be why Sharperdeal raised the fees and discouraged private sells, just my opinion. With the internet you can get about anything being made now so you really don't need to buy on an auction unless your looking for rare and no longer made. The people selling new knives can't be making much money on them unless they have a good hook up. When I got into autos you couldn't find them, I worked in a big factory and made a lot of money on clones. Afraid those days are over.

I guess i have to disagree with the raised fees and private sales as there is a new site (bladeauction.net) that has low fees and does not discourage private sales , if you compare the terms & conditions and fees of both sites you will see what im talking about. same with auctions from my expierence most people would rather buy from a auction than a store type site , sure there are tons of places to obtain knives but most your big sites sell whatever they get they dont really look over the knives to see if there are any defects or if they even work properly as they cant they have to many so someone like me selling small amounts on auction its more personal and knives are looked over more closely so not trying to argue just stating what i go through with selling .

Re: bladeauction.net - New knife auction :)
I used to buy a lot of knives through sellers on the old BA, probably why they all worked as they should. Back then there weren't many online stores selling Italian stilettos, back then I paid on average $35 plus shipping for a 9" Italian stiletto. Afraid those days are long gone!

Re: bladeauction.net - New knife auction :)
Prices did go up...those around for awhile remember Stu711 as he basically sold wholesale to everyone. BladePlay was very cheap too! A few private sellers were also discount sellers ( Rick, Ala John).....I see many modern items offered on SD at fairly cheap prices and they don't sell....There is a stag 13" bayo starting at $65 on Ebay that is listed again with no bidders.....Who knows what the prices are for real these days....My friend lives in FL and see high prices at gun shows, and another friend in AZ sees really high prices in stores there......

Autos don't do well on eBay because people don't know to look for them there.
