ET.com Poll #2 Results
The results are in and the ET.com staff (all three of us- me, myself and I) is busy analyzing the numbers and studying the implications, but I wanted to give you the raw data tabulations from our second official poll. Again, I appreciate all you who were willing to stand up and make your voice heard on this all important issue (I just hope the guys who work on the knives don’t visit The News).The Question was “As a collector, when looking to purchase an old knife, would you buy…..?”
- 41.2% answered- ‘A knife that has been worked on provided replaced parts were original to the pattern and era”
- 35.3% answered- ‘I only buy 100% original condition knives.’
- 23.5% answered- ‘Any knife I like, regardless of if repaired or had parts replaced.’
I find this very interesting and will be offering my observations in my editorial post coming out on April 2 entitled “Collectible Condition Part II- What about Reconditioned, Restored & Reworked Toenails?” It is sure to stir things up a bit, but I am just going to offer my thoughts and observations on what these results mean for us here at ET.com. I have been waiting on the poll to close for me to draw my conclusions and finish the editorial, and I have. It has been cued up and is scheduled to come out at 7:01 CT Wed morning, April 2nd, so be sure to pick you up a copy of The News to go along with your first cup of coffee.
