David! Where did you see these other items? When I clicked-on "other items for sale" 20 listings come up with prices from $10.-$100., and NO swords. Just curious!
I just clicked on the sellers other items.
Hmm

interesting! Thanks anyway!
They are gone now.
It looks he has taken down the items that were stupid prices.

Looks like all the high dollar items have been ended. I wonder if Ebay did it or the seller did it? The thought crossed my mind that maybe this is a way of laundering or transferring money? I went through anti-money laundering training every year when I was working. We handled other people’s money and investments and were trained on what to look out for. Suspicious activity is high on the list. But I wouldn’t have a clue how this would work on Ebay, but if there is a way, I am sure criminals are already doing it and Ebay is policing for it.
"Looks like all the high dollar items have been ended".
Here's the answer David!

Anyone think he could get Jim Frost to buy it back at that price?

If only he would have known there was a matching dagger to go with the folder. He could have bought it for $73.00 and doubled his money to 2 mil.

That's a terrific idea Ken! I just got one of those 2 weeks ago through Mark(SSK)and had I known they were so valuable I'd have had it up for sale long ago, but since I didn't, I'll post mine for sale tomorrow, although mine will be FAR more reasonably priced at only $999,999.00/free shipping, and, a free plastic stand!

I'll bet I sell it in less than a day!

Here is what the description say for the $1,000,000,000 knife listing
"I was lucky to have found this High Quality Knife at an Estate Sale. They told me that "This is a 'Custom Designed Horse Head Cavalry Folder Lock Blade Knife with a Black Pakkawood Handle and it has the Real High Buff Polish ~... This Vintage Knife is still Brand New in its Original Box! ...
The knife stand in the photos is not included. "
Let me get that right... you spend $1,000,000,000 on a knife and the knife stand in the photos is not included? You can't afford and another $3.00 knife stand?

Sure looks that way GTD! BTW, you have it priced at one BILLION, not one MILLION, but as long as we're being ridiculous what's another 900 million!

Oops! Maybe the seller made the same mistake I did and only meant to ask for $100,000... That would have been a much better deal.
