Gerber DIESEL- Another Steal! I Think

Gerber DIESEL- Another Steal!   

....that is if the seller doesn't weasel out and cancel my purchase for one of a few 'fake' situations under which eBay allows sellers to cancel purchases without consequence ; like:

-stolen tool

-damaged tool

-seller has been shot

-seller attacked by bear when shipping the item

-etc...

Same offer....Different Seller...

$28 Delivered...NIB...Silver

:gimme:

Seller now giving trouble... I smell a cancelled transaction and no tool...

It's not my fault he/she didn't read the offer sheet...That's what it's there for...

The guy wasn't happy, but he did accept the offer and finally kept his end of the bargain.

So DIESEL on the way  :multi:

$28 - $6 USPS Shipping = a $22 New Sealed tool...


Only the Super Tool 300, Skeletool, Swisstool Spirit, Freehand & Power Assist to go. *sigh*

Now I have to find a bigger shelf....It's official I have more MT's than folding knives~!

How did this happen.

Love that show!   :)
At first I thought it would be a cheap copy of the 'original', but both are great.

My Diesel came with twice the 2D Phillips NIB. I figure it must have been either an early Monday tool, or a late Friday tool.

Probably.  It's still shocking that it made it out.  Think about it, for the double tool to be installed it would have to be a friday-at-quitting-time tool, and then for it to pass QC it would have to go through the NEXT friday at quitting time.  Still, a pretty neat variation if you ask me.
