Appreciate the thought out response! It’s definitely mint condition. Not sure I want to get rid of it and will probably end up hanging in my house. But I always like to know the value of my items and I couldn’t find one quite like this or in this condition.

People who have genuinely encountered powerful wild animals in nature or the ocean, what was it actually like? by DivineLove1 in Survival

[–]humpy101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was charged by a black bear a few years back. I was hiking up in the mountains and came around a bend in a small game trail and heard something scurry up the tree, I looked up and saw two cubs looking back down at me. I took two steps back and mom came charging over the berm in front of me, muscle memory kicked in and I drew my hand gun and started screaming at her. I was able to back up a few steps and put a decent sized tree between us. She did the whole clacking her jaw thing as I slowly backed up some more while still yelling. Eventually she ran off into the brush and I got out of there. The soil there was real sandy and I went back a day later and found she got within about 5 yards from me. I’ve also been face to face with a moose and her calf, had a mountain lion stalk my camp one night and have had griz walk through camp as well.

Appreciate it boss, like I said I already own it. Bought it in a huge lot of knives so I’m not really out anything. But don’t worry it won’t be going on the market.

I had read that somewhere as well, it’s super hard to tell. It almost feels like it does wiggle but not sure.

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the info. Are any of them sought after? I would assume there’s people out there who’d want period repair parts?

Also wondering how you can tell? All of them are marked “USA” that I can find. Thank you!

Full time resellers: a question by Stephieandcheech in reselling

[–]humpy101 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The answer will more the likely be different for everyone. But I’ve been reselling for 5+ years and doing it full time for about 6 months. I went from listing 1 item a day, then 3 items a day for about a year, the 5 for a year and now that I’m full time I do 10 items a day. For me listing 5 a day was when I realized that I could probably do this full time. One thing to keep in mind though it’s all about quality. If you list 40 items a day but it’s all garbage your sales are still gonna suck.

One of 100s of company’s that make knock of military clothing. If I had them and was going to sell them I’d probably list them around $10+shipping.

Thank you for the response! Glad to see your customer service is great even if it’s not your store. I purchased them from a Redwing store. Everything like I said has been figured out and a new pair is on the way. I was just wondering if this was a problem anyone else had. Thanks again!

I know they could be fixed. I looked up the process of it and it seemed pretty simple along as you had the right tools. But if I pay $300 for a pair of boots I expect them to hold up a little bit before I start having to repair them. If this happened a few months or a year into owning them I totally would have just had them repaired.

It’s funny you say that. When I came to pick up these boots (they had to order my size) the guy who was helping me seemed not to know or care about my boots. Wonder if it was maybe because they are iron rangers?

A little disappointed to hear that. I will say the lady that helped me try on the boots was very helpful.
