Auction will probably end around € 600
Saw a similar SAK on a national second hand site a few weeks ago, but with "Mauser" branding... It's gone now. Think the seller asked €50. Not sure though.Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G388F met Tapatalk

An assortment of firearms related SAKs.
It ended up going for 193 euros.

I'd have nabbed it for 200 if I saw this. I have a friend who is only missing this 108...

Should have bid more But the problem is, while 250 or even 300 was still a "good" price for the knife it still is a lot of money...It's always a pity you can't see what the maximum bid was. It's sold for 193.07, maybe the buyers max was 200.. or maybe 250, 300 or maybe even more.

I meant I'd have bought it for someone with his money... my most expensive SAK purchase ever was a 39 Euro (43 USD) SMS Farmer... and my most expensive knife overall was a Spyderco Delica Damascus Honey Jigged Bone for 160 Euros.Note: I do have much more expensive and valuable knives around but got them in giveaways, as gifts or insane deals (25E each for a Tiffany silver Minichamp and a NIB Swissflame come to mind).

But one of the very few chances to add this to the 108mm collection. And also the certainty that if I needed the money again, I could sell it with a profit.But this is all hypothetical, cuz I didn't win By the way, i'm losing a lot of eBay auctions lately. Frustrating

Frustrating "Myibidder Auction Sniper for eBay" phone app - never lost an auction using it...
I've never used a 108mm before so out of curiosity I've just ordered one from Bonds of London.I chose the Safari Hunter.Including postage it was more than I probably should have paid for a SAK with a stupendously ugly saw on it which I will never use. But I'm curious to see how that main blade feels, vs a Pioneer, and I'll see if I can't find a use for that hunting blade. (I'm not a hunter.)Interestingly, or not, I saw one of these red 108mms a few years ago and thought it was the ugliest SAK ever made. I swore I'd never purchase one... who knows, in a few months time maybe I'll be the silly billy bidding 600 bucks for a Walther...
The problem is not that I missed the auction, I simply don't bid enough i'm affraid. Don't think the Sniper app helps with that?

Ugly knife, but really strong and well made.Quote from: glenfiddich1983 on October 11, 2016, 09:56:45 AMThe problem is not that I missed the auction, I simply don't bid enough i'm affraid. Don't think the Sniper app helps with that?Well.. sort of... you don't bid, you don't drive price up. you think of a limit, add 1,1 Euros on it then you watch and wait... It works like a charm when you have few bidders... the guy thinks: "this is such a deal I'm getting 20 USD for this... I could go up to 200 Euros but noone else is bidding so I'll stay on my 20... then you swoop in with 101,1 USD in the last second and he can't go any higher... even if he has a maxbid it would probably 100, so you'll still win).
