Hello, all. If this is in the wrong forum, apologies and Mods, please let me know.  
I’m looking to part with some of the knives/swords that I brought back from Afghanistan to cover some impending expenses and wondered if anyone had had prior experience with reputable buyers. I seem to remember that at least one member does this for a living, but can’t remember his/her handle ATM. If anyone has any experience please let me know or PM me. Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I’m also trying to find a market for some loose precious stones and would rather not resort to e-Bay, if anyone has had experience with that, I’d be interested. Thanks!

The Marketplace forum is available to paying members; otherwise we don’t allow people to sell things here. You can rephrase the question to “how do I find a reputable dealer” and try again in IMHO.
