Curse of the Buck 37* series...
on: December 30, 2012, 08:16:13 AM
So I have been trying to get a buck 373 or similar for a bit as it seems like something I would use.

I ordered a couple from eBay (seller shenqirun, both new) a 371 and a 379. After being told repeatedly to wait as he/she had run out of stock for over a month I had my money refunded.

Then a few days back I once again ordered a 373, used (seller leia1988) and today I get this message:
"I apologize, but when I went to ship the knife off I realiized that this one( this is the last one  :facepalm:  I had several) had one blade missing. So I am refunding you your money." 

Both sellers seemed genuine, with good feedback...

I will try again, thought I suspect it is not meant to be......   ???

How on Earth can a knife have a blade missing? :think:  I am only guessing it was new, but could it really have left the factory with bits missing? :o

dks said the second one he ordered was used and as it's a multi-blade knife I'm guessing the blade was broken off. :shrug:  Good luck to you on finding a good one, dks :salute:

thanks!

Yes the 2nd one was used. I really like them but the price for them is around $17-$30+ plus shipping and I just cannot convince myself that a Chinese Buck, with nice looks, is worth that much.
I can get a Case xx sodbuster or a Buck 110 for about that much or a GEC Farm & Field for just a bit more. Heck, I can get a Ganzo that looks similar for 12.50…..
So, I have been trying to get one cheap by bidding or buying used.

I have a bunch of the Chinese made Buck slippies.  They're nice knives, but not at those prices....
There's no such thing as "Too pretty to carry".  There's only "Too pretty NOT to carry"...... >:D

You made me do it    :D  :D  :D

I placed a low offer on a Ganzo to see what happens...

I expect it will be rejected.

Maybe I will find a cheap buck soon... I have plenty to keep me ammused anyway..

The 1st ones I won were at a really good price, combined shipping, total cost for both $26.....
