Finally got em.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a price tag to change before I head out to the next militaria show. (Which reminds me I still need to call and reserve some table space!)

I see how you work it into a bundled price as I've done similar myself in the past. Taking a small hit on a hard to move item but having it absorbed by the quick-to-sell item. It all comes out in the wash. In my case I'm not doing it for profit so to speak. I'm pretty much rotating the collection. What I sell simply rolls back into it. So long as I get back more than I paid in the long run to keep up with the inflation on other items I want, them I'm good.

Black handled ones are difficult to find and collectors will pay a premium for one.

[JB White]

What would be a fair price range so I'm not doing myself a diservice?

Used to be reds and blacks went for about the same money but blacks were considered a "neat find. Kind of like a S.A. marked rifle. No premium but something cool to talk about.

[Hal O'Peridol]

I haven't seen a black handled blade for sale in almost 3 years, but plenty of reds. Can't say as to what a black handle bayo would go for now.

[JB White]

Reckon I'll just pull it off the block for a while then. Thanks.
I have a couple of months before I do my next large show so I have plenty of time to watch the market for a fair price.

Yep JB, a guy won't come down $60 on an overpriced bayonet, but if you buy 4, he will likely come down $20ea on the other 3. The guy I got this one off of is way overpriced on everything but will usually come down quiet a bit for me. I think he is just trying to get the "browsers" to quit rummaging as he has allot of good bayonets usually.

Had another guy say he was always willing to come down for me since I "Buy in bulk"....LOL

And the No7 is gone.....forgot to pull it out of my display case and a guy kept bugging me. He traded me 4 Japanese parts rifles for it and I know I can get well more than $200 out of the parts in the long run.
