Where is the best place or places nowadays to buy and sell?

It seems like Bladeforums and Usual Suspects Network are suffering due to the facebooks groups.

Where do you buy and sell nice customs / semi customs?

Overall I have had the most success on Ebay rather than forums such as USN and others.  The fees on Ebay are high.  For example I needed $700 out of a custom folder I had for sale.  I inflated the amount ($700) by 10 % for Ebay commission ($70), by 2.9%  PayPal fee + $00.30 ($22.33 + .30=$22.63) and rounded up to a listing price of $795.  You can list the item higher and select Best Offer and set your $ amount required.  That way you can eliminate low ball offers.  Hope that helps.

I've rarely had any ads last longer than a week on bladeforums.  Plenty of traffic there.

Not sure if it's rational, but I trust the dedicated forums more than Facebook.  Could be because I'm old.

Have you tried any dealers?  I have worked with Arizona Custom Knives.  They are good people.

Why not just sell on the EE here under the blades section?
