A Little eBay MT Pricing Humor

Whoa!

Mine is for sale too if anyone wants to pay that price!

Ahh good thing I research prices before I buy. That's outrageous.

turnsouth · **Reply #3 on:** July 22, 2011, 04:56:37 AM

Here's one that's a little more affordable:

airballrad · **Reply #4 on:** July 22, 2011, 05:36:56 AM

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.

Mercury · **Reply #5 on:** July 22, 2011, 09:33:06 AM

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

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

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

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.

Have you seen the super tool 300 eod for 500?

OK how about at the other extreme

The feedback for this seller is only going to get more 'interesting' I reckon

.
A definite example of too good to be true

Carlos · **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:36:11 AM

C'mon now everybody knows AU is the chemical symbol for GOLD. SO there's your price 22.95 stuff of gold.

MultiMat · **Reply #16 on:** August 09, 2011, 02:44:47 AM

$25.80AU = $26.04US

. Who would of thought Liverpool UK would be a great place to grab a Leatherman bargain

With almost 50 sold in the last 3 days, he's building himself a nice little nest egg.

I wonder if he realizes how acutely PayPal, and the international authorities track a person's banking transactions?

Perhaps he's a dock workman, who just happen to have a large shipment of MUT's accidentally fall into his boot...

scrappy · **Reply #19 on:** August 09, 2011, 04:18:14 AM

Is his feedback a negative three?

Very true. That one person is a complete idiot, but your right.

MultiMat · **Reply #27 on:** August 20, 2011, 04:36:30 AM

Well it is only $8.25 per Lumen

.

Maybe the seller normally supplies government contracts

A fool and his money are soon parted...

And really, it's probably better to be robbed by a fellow American than sending your money to Hong Kong or Nigeria!
