Based on the oddball (not round numbers) prices, I'm going to guess these are sellers outside the US with the prices converted to US dollars? That makes more sense, when you consider what local dealers charge for LM models overseas.

If that's the converted price then I would definitely stick with Vic if i lived in Europe.  No MT is worth $200+ to me.  I am too hard on them to pay that.

To give you an idea of prices in South Africa if I convert them a Charge TTi $180-$245 --  Fuse $90 -- Wave $150+  --   Blast $104+  ----  Freestyle CX $111 the cheapest I can get a SwissTool around here $150+

If you want to buy them at any Sport or Outdoor shop around here you can add another $30-$40

Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

Yea, the seller is shown as being from the UK.
Wonder why he listed on the US eBay?  :think:

I get the impression that UK Ebay doesn't allow knife sales, but maybe you already knew that and are being facetious.  :pok:  :P

I tend to take US ebay for granted. (although the seller fees....good lord.......seriously?)

It seems like I need to buy as many MT's as I can and take a trip to Africa. I could make a fortune.  :)

OK how about at the other extreme  :think: :think: :D :D




The feedback for this seller is only going to get more 'interesting' I reckon :P :D :D :D.
A definite example of too good to be true  :D :D
