    Woah! Check this out!

    We had a knife manufacturer bring in several thousand knives that are made from 410 stainless. I happened to look them up on ebay and almost sh!t myself.



    Spyderco NIB MT07 VG 10 Damascus Mule Fixed Blade | eBay

    Spyderco K 390 Mule Team 17 MT17P Rare NO Reserve | eBay

    Spyderco Mule Team K390 MT17 | eBay

    NIB Spyderco Mule Team MT04P Knife ZDP 189 Steel | eBay

    Spyderco MT17P Mule Team 17 K390 Steel NEW IN BOX | eBay

    Apparently they are a discontinued, limited edition. FYI: we paid $0.08 lb. for the 410 SS, or about $0.03 for each knife!

    Being a scrap yard are you allowed to resell something like that? I would think they brought them in to be destroyed and not resold. If not hook me up ill ebay the heck out of them.

    I would say that they wanted them destroyed thats why they scrapped them. If they found out you were selling them you could lose more then just the account you could lose your Good name and reputation as a recycler. I get stuff in all the time that could be Resold for more money but if I started doing that then I wouldnt have those accounts.

    Rather than assume I would expect that the receiving recycler confirm the wishes of the disposing party. If there are any constraints on what the disposer desires for the products they are disposing of that should be in a contract. Even more so if it is new product that could be resold.

    My $0.02.

    Considering he said it was an account of his. I would think they have a contract or agreement on file. I am just guessing here but Ill be up shortly with another run for Cory this week. Can I have one of each please
