Who has done this? ,  I buy  a couple of knives and then later on see a special one I want , but I have already blown the budget buying the other knives, and  I think, hey if I had not bought five $ 20 knives I could have bought the $100 one I just found ! I do agree with what Tobias said  about research and patience, I have bought a knife on Ebay for say $23 and later on the knife went for $36-$40. The people who bought the knife at the $ 40 price could have saved some money if they had been watching the market. Granted the knives would have to be of equal condition, but the ones I have seen sell higher than what  I paid were not in as good a condition.

Ricky, Been there, Done that, Kicked myself.  Swore I'd never do it again  like the instructions on a the shampoo bottle: "Rinse and Repeat!"  Sigh.

I started by buying on impulse...most of those knives have been traded or sold at a monetary loss to me. Trial and error, what I bought then is probably now the jewel of someone else's user rotation. I don't regret buying those knives, I learned from those experiences and someone got a decent knife to use below MSRP. I am perpetuating the tradition of carrying a knife with every purchase, because I may decide after a purchase that I don't want the knife in question and that knife will find it's way to someone who does.
