I Think I Was Bamboozled!

[toolguy]

It all started when I checked my email at 2:00 AM EST on July 24TH.I read an email sent by Adorama that advertised a Leatherman Wave/bit extender/Croc combination for sale.When I clicked on the link I was sure that it stated the wave was a BO model.I immediately thought this would be a good time to add a BO Wave with the ancillary BO tools to my collection.

Once I made the purchase I went to bed.The next morning I checked my email and discovered that Adorama had acknowledged my order and it would be shipped soon.

Well,fast forward to today when the packaged finally arrived. I was eager to see my new BO tools so I wasted no time in opening the box,only to discover it wasn't what I thought I had ordered.

Since Adorama has changed the link I can't prove anything.Life holds many twists and turns for toolguys and toolgals and this is just one of them.LOL.

Well it's not all that bad anyway, just return or resell it
P.S.: if I were you I'd just keep it

Sheesh, what a bummer.

I can understand how disappointing this is for you, so I have decided that I am willing to shoulder some of the burden for you.

If you want to send it my way, you will not have to see it, and the wounds will be able to heal.

You do not have to thank me, I am happy to help, it is the least I can do.

There's only one problem,I already have a SS Wave.I surely do wish this was the BO model.

Gift it? Send some unsuspecting friend, family or colleague into the doom spiral of multitool enthusiasm.

Yea I get it,stop whining.LOL.

I was really looking forward to a BO Wave since I have the SS model.

My sons have already offered their help in this matter and I would have to defer to family first.Thanks for your offer though.

Just give it to somebody you think should really have one and doesn't yet

It isn't such a big thing, but a mistake no less. Do you have an email with the conformation of your exact order? That should convince 'em

It's really not that big of a deal.

The email they sent to me,confirming my order,already had the original link changed to the new link which also had the price changed to $99.95 instead of the original offer of $59.95.

The email should state a description of what you ordered which would say BO Wave or just Wave which could determine the original order.

My gut feeling is you misread the description as I have never seen a BO Wave offered with the Croc and Bit extender.

I might be interested in trading you something for the set though. I have been looking for a Wave and would like the extender and Croc. I would also consider just the Wave for trade as well. Let me know.

There is a distinct possibility that I made a mistake.There's also the same possibility that Adorama made the  mistake.In the years that I've dealt with Adorama I have discovered several items with the same item number that had two different prices.

 I just discovered this search that indicates that Adorama had advertised this combo in black oxide.Not counting the Amazon ad at the top,Adorama's ad is the 8TH search result from the top and they did in fact advertise this combo in black oxide.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Leatherman+Black+Oxide+Wave%2FCroc%2FBit+Extender+for+sale&ia=products


When I clicked on the search Adorama does indicate this is offered in black oxide.Here is the wording from that ad:

Materials 420HC Stainless SteelAn improved, high-carbon (HC) form of 420 stainless steel that works well with high production tooling. 420HC's strength is optimized in Leatherman multi-tools by heat treatment.

Material Black Oxide is a powder-based metal coating. Ideal for situations where giving away a position would be costly, it is widely used by the military for its effectiveness in reducing glare and reflection.

At this point the discussion is moot since it doesn't appear that Leatherman ever manufactured this combo in BO.

Other than my desire to own a BO Wave there was the Croc tool that also was of interest to me and I would like to keep that.

I could be persuaded to trade if the offering was of great interest to me,let  me know what you have to offer.
