Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
I love that knife, but not a $500 love affair.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
Here's number three to show up on eBay...all are the wood handle model (no blue camel bones...yet). The prices seem to be coming down; this seller has his listed for $399 with free shipping.

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
This is curious. This knife was listed for $425/OBO and after a few days it showed that it had sold for "Best offer accepted"
https://www.ebay.com/itm/185152131616?h ... 7675.l2557
Today, however, I see the exact same knife from the same seller (using the same photos) has been listed AGAIN for $425/OBO:

It's the exact same knife, not a different one that the seller managed to get from KSF. So, I wonder what gives? Buyer's remorse, perhaps...the buyer changed his mind after his offer was accepted? Or, maybe the buyer is just screwing with the seller because he's a Flipper (I've been tempted to do that myself a time or two, but decided it wasn't worth it to ruin my rating on eBay for non-payment.)

So if a guy landed one in the future and wanted cost plus a hard to find RR he probably wouldn't be considered a bad guy?

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
I recently had a non-payer on one of my auctions. Turns out he was based in China with 8 transactions, 7 0f which were non-pays. I don't under stand why ebay would let someone like that hang around.QTCut5 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 4:53 am This is curious.

I hear ya Cody. They are both out of my price class as well so I just enjoy seeing other people's knives. Can't have everything.

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
The first Blue Camel Bone Lookout Jack to appear on eBay and the Seller/Flipper (Slipper?) is asking "only" $599.00. Surely any knife collector here would agree that this is a reasonable mark-up BTW: This is just me being ironic...or is it sarcastic?...I can never remember which is worse. But, either way, I certainly hope I haven't offended anyone by exposing the "Invisible Hand" of Capitalism. (again, that's meant to be sarcastic).

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
I'd say you pegged it Q with buyers remorse or some clown screwing with the seller. After all, it is Fleabay!QTCut5 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 11, 2021 4:53 am This is curious. This knife was listed for $425/OBO and after a few days it showed that it had sold for "Best offer accepted"

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
There's another one with a wharncliffe blade Q with an asking price of US$999.00, so it would appear we have folks attempting to get rich overnight!

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
Another Blue Camel Bone Lookout is up for grabs on eBay.
$549.95/OBO
https://www.ebay.com/itm/363614939326?_ ... %3A2047675
I wonder why these aren't selling as fast on the secondary/flipper market as they did during the initial release?
I mean, for such an (apparently) popular knife, you'd think price would not be an obstacle.

Did you get yours from KSF or from a flipper?
Can't help but wonder if you would have still purchased one if you had to pay 3-4 times as much as it sold for on KSF?

Re: Sold Out In Under 10 Seconds
I'm the same and I prefer old pocket knives , in the uk GEC and Northwood go for silly money, and flipping happens here as well, I had a gec half whittler that I won on a Raffle a few years back , carried it a bit but then it just sat in a draw so I gave it to a friend , most slipjoint groups on FB are full of people showing GEC's & Northwoods , you can tell they dint actually carry them, shame really as there made to be used, or in there case put away as investments I supposeOLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 9:46 pmMe neither. The only one I have was on close out because it was an extremely unpopular Moose pattern.
