I was surprised that the RadioShack  Special Mechanic went for only $5.24.
No interest in that uncommon model ?

I'm getting shipping at $7.30... Perhaps thats why?

Not to mention the seller failed to put Victorinox in the title. Most of us probably have searches followed, and this one would have fallen through the cracks. Good find though!

Sorry if this was posted before.
Shouldn't replicas be a little cheaper? 
http://ebay.co.uk/itm/REPLICA-1891-VICTORINOX-coltello-Soldiers-Knife-Limited-Edition-V-0-1891-J-LTD-/371519901584?nav=SEARCH

You can normally find them for around $500 so a little cheaper than this but if you want a genuine one in excellent condition you will need to double the price.

The replica is a great knife though

If you have an eBay account, you can report these guys for misleading/ misuse of brand name/ keyword spamming.

Usually, I have no problem with outrageous prices as long as the items are authentic (a guy is currently asking for $1800 for a damacus Wave). But it really rubs me the wrong way when sellers blantantly misrepresent items or spam with keywords "like leatherman, leatherman type".... If they want to include brand names in titles (in hope to sell off some knockoffs), they better throw in something authentically associated with the brand names.

IMO, eBay is money hunger, and will do anything to make/ let you sell stuffs. So, I see quite a few items I reported still being listed.

If someone wants these, maybe there is a Swiss member of the forum willing to act as a middle man  :)

as pointed out you sometimes pay extra for the convenience of easy shipping and the shipping cost.

We have Swiss members and they have been known to help with forwarding such items.

Not suggesting anything bad but this is definitely a little crazy

4 Victorinox Collector Society knives are currently up on ebay but each knife is being sold by a different account all with Zero feedback from the same town ... I can think of no reason a seller would create an account for a single auction .... just seemed a bit odd

The first 3 all seem to be the same seller, the last one is a different seller id.  Maybe a different family member ?

Huh. with two sellers, I feel like I can let it slide... but three distinct accounts, all with pictures staged in the same manner, seems suspicious. I suspect shenanigans will ensue....

I tend to agree, with that extra listing now making it 3 different sellerIDs I would be particularly wary of bidding big bucks on these sellers all with zero feedback.
