I've had a few surprises, I got a Juice that was described as "in great working condition" however it was broken. I also got some incredibly dirty tools as well.  I think I have a few SAK still sitting in WD40 that I bought months ago.

I did however benefit from the sellers that clearly had no clue what they had.  I got a Swisschamp that was being sold as an Explorer.  The condition was described great and the price was in my benefit less than 25. 

The bay of fleas is a carnival so as the saying goes,  caveat emptor.

  • Apparently it is possible to have too many tools;)

........ I go by the pics as best as possible, and ASSUME something's wrong with the tool that I can't see. Then, occasionally, I get something that says 'used' and turns out to be in excellent condition, so...  :shrug:

Me too, that way it is my judgement about the condition of the tool, and I'm much more likely to get what I'm expecting.

I just SNAKED one!  I guess I'm on team purple cobra from now on.

PM me if you want one of my kidneys for your SOG TiNi multitool.

OK, both my kidneys.
