Apparently even luxury brands fall prey to the Dump Truck Full of Cash

So, I saw this thing: http://www.amazon.com/Coach-Black-Pocket-Knife-Leather/dp/B00BQM9QAG

And I was fully prepared to call it a fake, someone just painting the Coach label on a $5 chinese multitool, but apparently... yeah, real.  Check the pricing out as well, $54.

 

The funny thing is that the sheath included (being Coach leatherwork) is probably worth 10x what the crappy little multitool is worth.  Perhaps more.

Why would you pay this much for a Chinese looking tool?

[Grant Lamontagne]

Luxury brands are the number one target for the Dump Truck.  The more the brand name is worth, the more money that can be made of it alone.

I would LOVE to break out laughing. But I'm stuck between being really sad, and figuring out a way to fleece people who would buy such a thing.

This does say something about the general principal of this forum though... cost and quality are not always precisely linked together. In both directions.

The tool looks like a Skeletool knockoff. The real Skeletool on Amazon is $38.

You got to recognize that the tiny phillips screwdriver is the funniest and surely most useless ever put on a multi

That thing looks absolutely hopeless.

I have one of those...except it came in a cheap set sent from a UK member as I was curious of this little Skeletool smurf step child trice removed.

Adding Coach to it is priceless.

So... time to start your luxury brand knockoffs collection maybe?
