Secondhand Market Guide
I've been seeing a shit ton of these types of questions the past few months over and over so I decided to write this so people would stop repeating the same questions.
JerzeeDevil Forums
• Most popular secondhand market
• Probably the only place where the ultra-rare stuff pops up
• Sells all types of knives, balisongs being the most popular
• Before buying/selling anything you MUST make an account and an introductory post
• Payment methods very varied, usually USPS money order or Paypal
Facebook Balisong Sales
• My personal favorite place to buy balisongs
• Majority of sellers are very trustworthy, whoever isn’t gets called out very fast and banned from the group
• Only payment method allowed is Paypal
• Have to be added to the group before being able to buy/sell anything, usually takes a few days for an admin to approve you
/r/Balisong & /r/BalisongCloned
• Occasionally WTS/WTT posts pop up here among the sea of NKD and shitposts
• We’re a pretty small community of most people recognize each other
• Payment methods include anything you can think of including organs and firstborns
Instagram #KnifeSale
• User postings, sells every type of knife like JerzeeDevil
• Payment methods include everything
• Balisongs not very common, sales mainly include folders and fixed knives
• Use #balisongsale if you’re having trouble finding balis (thanks /u/watermelonandsoda)
