WOW. I'm thinking I would not have a ST300 if they were that expensive. I bought both of mine for $50 each Brand New.

Holy crap, that guy is almost my neighbor lol.

Wonder if he do local pick up.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #40 on:** September 02, 2011, 12:22:55 PM

These kinds of things make me wonder if I should sell a few things I have kicking around and fund Multitool.org for the next decade!

The real issue is that people actually buy this stuff!

Reinier · **Reply #44 on:** December 28, 2011, 12:33:32 PM

Bump, more madness:

An Italian seller who thinks €60 (!) for a Climber is OK... or €150 for a CyberTool 34

turnsouth · **Reply #45 on:** December 31, 2011, 04:28:43 PM

Is it just me, or does £230 seem a little high, even for the UK?

Reinier · **Reply #46 on:** December 31, 2011, 04:48:26 PM

Maybe those are actually silver?

Reinier · **Reply #47 on:** January 04, 2012, 02:39:28 PM

More bullsh*t, a ridiculous price and obviously it's NOT an AutoTool

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #48 on:** January 04, 2012, 07:15:15 PM

I'll sell you a REAL Autotool for half that!

J-sews · **Reply #49 on:** January 05, 2012, 03:45:44 AM

It IS a 1997 plier head though.

(you don't see those very often) still not worth $229.00 though

turnsouth · **Reply #50 on:** January 05, 2012, 04:02:35 AM

I don't know, this one could be argued: Mint, new in box, 1997, and even the clam-shell plastic is still shiny and not all scratched up.

And besides, he is taking offers....

Thats what I said! It's too bad he wont ship to Canada though.

mvyrmnd · **Reply #54 on:** January 07, 2012, 08:11:42 AM

These prices aren't ridiculous for Australia... A Charge TTi retails here for $325 AUD. Then you must realise that our dollar is worth more than yours.

It's positively stupid. My Charge came from the US. Even when paying "bend you over and have my way with you" shipping costs I still saved more than $100...

turnsouth · **Reply #55 on:** January 07, 2012, 02:50:41 PM

We got to have a picture of this, seems like the winner so far (even high for Oz I'm thinking):

Bruce909 · **Reply #56 on:** January 07, 2012, 05:52:28 PM

Thanks Paul for this one, I have been laughing for awhile at the prices from this seller.

I bought that very same Freestyle combo at Costco for under $ 20.00 about a year ago. So I thought I would take a little look on ebay and maybe send the seller a note about the typo. I was amazed to find that the Freestyle combo was a bargain compared to other items the seller listed! It was not even close to the most expensive item. I think we can all agree even though we might not care for a Freestyle it is worth 10 times the sellers most expensive item. Here is the picture:

Let's see a Freestyle combo for about 30% less than a set of $0.99 kitchen strainer...sure makes that Freestyle Combo look good....

There are incredible errors on the sellers highest priced items! Both items (and more) are listed by the same seller. If you want to find these gems search on ebay for the Freestyle combo and then look at the sellers store sorted by highest price first.

But hurry you can get a 2012 Wall Calendar for $ 1000.00! Maybe they will lower the price next month?

Thanks again Paul good find,

Bruce

turnsouth · **Reply #57 on:** January 07, 2012, 06:45:13 PM

Actually Bruce, there is a likely explanation for the prices. The owner of the place where I work spends most of his time selling on eBay, he has a small warehouse that he stocks by purchasing large lots at closeout sales, most times by the 40 foot trailer load. And this has and happened to him before.

What probably happened with this seller is that he or she hired someone new to put up the listings, and the new person was looking at the cost of the lot instead of the intended sale price.

So I'm thinking that the price on the Freestyle/300 combo was what the seller paid for probably 200 of them, the strainers a lot of 2000, and so on...

Although that $1500.00 porcelain serving plate looks tempting

Reinier · **Reply #58 on:** January 07, 2012, 09:35:42 PM

Sounds like a good explanation, but IMHO it's still stupid

New_World · **Reply #59 on:** January 08, 2012, 05:31:22 AM

some sweet deals going on!
