I totally agree, but I'm stuck in 1972 and think that a green pepper should cost $0.39 and not $2.39. A more cost-effective MT than the Wave might be something in the Wingman to Rebar genre.
A decent 2nd gen Wave for under $45 is a bit hard to get. For an average Joe, a Wave is always valued higher than a PST. Have you tried a Wanted ad in the forum?
If you want a bargain on E-Bay you have to be vigilant. Completed listings show quite a few in your price range.
^^What they have said.I got my first Wave for $20 at the market I work in. And being bat-poo crazy, I had to have two Waves before I would carrry one, and I found a second one on Ebay for $40. Then, being a collector, I had to have an OG Wave. Found it for $40. They can be found, but like members said before, you have to be patient.I have three Waves and paid $100 for the three. And this was all late last year (not in ancient MT times).
wow great finds! Well I'll be joining the wave club soon! Honestly I was kind of conflicted because I have the Blast that I EDC, but when you look at the configuration and tool sets they both have a purpose. I think I'll do a comparison after carrying the Wave a while at least after about a month of use

A must have for any MT enthusiast. However, with being said, I do(it is mentioned on this site somewhere) think the Blast was a true highlight in LM history in its' category (all inboard tools, with locking). The Wave is great too. It's going to be a tough thing comparing the two of them.
Wow just found a great deal! LM Wave with piece of bit kit ($10 value) $55 shipped.
