Thread: Double Duck Wonderedge Question

Really hard to see. If it has the circles you'll know when you look at it. If it doesn't I don't know ...... here is a pic I tried to lighten to see if I could see them ....

If not keep countering or walk away. They overprice most things because they expect counter offers. I was in my local antique shop the other day and found an old, still usable strop. I had seen similar on eBay and knew it was overpriced. I offered a few dollars over 1/2 of the asking price. Shop owner called person who counted w only two dollars over my price. I took it and still saved about $15 over what eBay was asking in a buy now listing.

It never wrong to ask for a lower price. Its a game most people like to play.

Thanks - tried it with this woman.

She knows her shop is in a very trendy area, and her response to anyone offering anything different on the item is, "No!". I got a really nice Boker King Cutter, in great shape, for $20, yet for an old, nice but run of the mill DOVO, she wanted $80...see, she'd heard of DOVO before.

I put some cash down to hold it, for being a bit of a curmudgeon, she is fairly nice, told her I'd be back next week.

Just can't figure out the two pins only on the DD!?!

Thanks JH - then yes, it has the circles! I thought they were some kind of cursive flourish!

Thanks again!

Don't worry about the third pin. I doubt anyone is counterfeiting dubl duck wonderedges yet. It has the logos inlaid in the scales and with the circles, if it is in good shape it is cool. As long as she doesn't want an arm and a leg. .....

Hahahaha! "Counterfeiting dubl duck....", that was hilarious....just the fact that I guess I even thought this makes it look like I need a trip to my local therapist...

Thanks for the laugh!!

Don't you just love greedy people with little knowledge? I find that type of attitude more than irritating. For me it borders on snobbishness and avarice. If you wait long enough her need to accumulate cash might make her bring the price down. And in my experience, being in a trendy area with that kind of attitude usually lead to a going out of business sale.
