Boy the 2nd hand Microtech market sure has tanked, hasn't it?

I have my HHCT listed for less than I paid for it, and am getting no bites. Went and looked at some other sites, and it seems they are selling for far less than even what I have it listed for now. Not a huge deal, I don't mind keeping it, but what happened to that market? I see other Microtechs listed on here for what seems like a smoking deal (compared to the last time I was a buyer) and they just set.

I guess they aren't the flavor of the month anymore? The novelty of the OTF finally wore off?

I fell out of love with them and pretty much all OTF earlier this year and went back to folders.

Maybe also a commentary on the overall health of the economy. Sprinkle in the Christmas season approaching and the expensive hobby items take a hit.

Just a guess. I was always amazed at how huge the Microtech thread kept getting...

Has the number of fakes harmed the secondary market for high end knives?
Are buyers wary of buying a fake on the used market so they only purchase new from reputable dealers?
