yesterday they had a estate sale down the street from me there was a bunch of high end firearms listed so I went to check it out. The firearms brought top dollar plus but they had a few boxes of knives they sold off in lots one lot caught my attention with the Buck fixed blades nobody else seem interested in this lot got it for steal at 350.00 after getting it home to really see what I got what a bargain almost all of these were in the original boxes so not visible at the time of bidding

Looks like you made out like a bandit! If those are Buck and a Benchmade auto knives you stole that box of knives for only $350! If your conscience is bothering you, I'm in for the giveaway on the Benchmade.😁 Bob
How much do you want for the one 4th from the top on the right (the Gerber)?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Liking the looks of that lot.
just the 2 Kershaw autos made that box worth it there is also a protech auto in the group
Nice score, nice line up there
That one I'm planning on making my truck knife
Nice !!! you did very well
So I have to buy the truck too?

I don't think the auction company realized the quality of knives they had with the way they presented them they was more focused on the antiques and guns
Now that sounds like a deal the knife is new the truck is half worn
Does $100 sound about right for both then?

I was thinking a new truck and a well used knife in trade
JACKPOT
NO WAY should they have bundled those together. If the auctioneers don't know knives a quick internet search would give them an idea. With high quality guns wouldn't they think the knives might be similar? Geez.
But, great score, Savage! That's why we all go to estate auctions.
The guy collected those for years to be sold at estate liquidation auction. If he knew what they sold for he would turn over in his grave. That happens often with collections.
some auctioneers don't want to mess with little items. They see the big number items. Especially if it was a sale at the house. They want in an out fast.
Not bad. Any boxes? The bulk of the knives are gravy after Benchmade, Spyderco and a few others.
