Hello! first time and asking... Nov 8, 2010 0:27:12 GMT

Hello all! New member but frequent visiter to the BSG site for info on various blades and happy to communicate with fellow enthusiasts.

I wanted to ask a question regarding decorative pieces. Now as with some folks (including me) as a kid/teen in his days may collect some fancier looking knives that sell for way cheaper and are just for decoration on a stand or wall. Now this is all fun and whatnot but in my case my attitude has shifted more towards quality and "the real deal". What can I do with my unwanted decorative knives?

I rather not throw them away as they are still neat and undamage, and pawn shops in the Miami, FL area only take in jewelry which is a bummer.

Any advice? Please and thank you

Ebay? Maybe try to sell them as a lot. "You are bidding on several stainless steel decorative blades in good condition" blah-blah-blah. Not sure how much shipping would be for something like that. Alternatively you can try to sell them individually on ebay, but I doubt the wall hangers would sell for enough to make it worthwhile.

I was hoping there was some place I can take them to recycle or something of that sort

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT
