Help wanted to get vintage champion on ebay
on: April 19, 2019, 04:07:05 PM
Hello everyone, I know I haven't been active here but I wonder if anyone would be willing to help me buy a vintage champion b on ebay? I live in the UK so I can't bid on it myself.

This is the knife in question.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/153451767377?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true

If anyone else is already interested in it I will gladly stay away.

Many thanks for your time

I’m happy to help but the seller is US based so you’ll probably be better off with a US member bidding for you, who can then forward it to you with a low value on the customs form to avoid custom charges.

I'm sorry you didn't get it.  I wanted it too, but after seeing your request, I decided to not bid on it in hopes that you would win.  Hopefully you'll find one within budget.
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Stuff like that happens. I was  bidding on an older Helle Nying yesterday; and I set it at $30 because I figured that was about what it was worth, seeing as it had been carried and heavily used; with blade wear from sharpening and some greenish verdigris buildup on the brass portions. Even in that shape, it went for $70. By the time shipping was factored in, close to $80. Crazy. I mean, a brand new one is $100; and is made exactly in the same manner as it was in 1977 when this Helle was made. And you will not have to clean that, or sharpen it.
