Camillus Yello-Jaket Knife
Purchased: $1
Sold: $10
Where: Craigslist
How I Acquired It: Went to a yard sale a little ways from my house. I walked into the almost-empty garage and looked around with no luck. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot the Camillus knife on the ground near the back. I asked if anything in the very back was for sale. They said yes, and that they'd give it to me for $1. For you newbies out there, don't be afraid to ask. Asking for items makes up about 30-35% of my profits.
History: The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States as its roots date back to 1876. The Company produced millions of knives until it filed for bankruptcy in 2007 due to fierce overseas competition. Its brand name andintellectual property rights were purchased by Acme United Corporation, which re-launched the Camillus brand in May 2009.
