What do others know about this that I'm missing??
on: February 27, 2010, 08:00:36 PM
I won this Gerber multitool for $1.34 on ebay and now I'm wondering if others saw something I missed and its a knockoff or something....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220559967860&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&autorefresh=true

How come nobody was bidding?
Thanks

Seller only has 3 ratings and the picture is pretty poor.  Higher chance that it's trashed.

There are so many tools on ebay, why take a chance on an auction like this?*


*That's why most folks didn't bid on it, not the tool itself.

Yeah, I can see that, but for a buck + change...why not??  Can't see his other items now cause they finished, but earlier, he had a bunch of military gear up, including goggles and some badass flashlight that others went nuts for.

Well...it arrived today and looks perfectly fine!  Needs a little cleaning, but a wipe down with some Flitz and this will be ready to hit the market for a nice profit!  I'll post some pics tomorrow!

Now thats a bargain!
