The seller at $200 BIN sold all 3 of his today.  At least prices are calming down a bit.  It'll be interesting to watch the next couple of auctions.

The blade etching is worth the price of the knife alone.  The part that gets me is how I missed them when they came out in '89.. :facepalm:

14 hours to go on this one...and 'only' bidding at $415 now:

 :cheers: Actually, that's the best price I've seen on that knife in a long time.
If I picked up a knife for that price, everyone would be celebrating the first unpowered lunar orbit in history....mine! :facepalm:

I think I remember seeing one go earlier this year for $425 or so that was in NIB/NOS condition.  The one in this particular listing looks a little more, um, "used" to my eye.

I remember that one too Myron.  I agree with you about this one, in that it looks like it's seen some action over the years.

Interesting...I'm guessing that it was just high up on the list for those two bidders. Real commitment on the bids.

I don't mind used copies, but not that and not in that price range.

Hi, I am the one who purchased the used knife for 455 USD :) I just registered on that forum to explain why I bought this knife in bad shape at such a high price after reading your comments.

It actually breaks my heart to see such nice collectibles in bad shape like this one. I'm lucky enough to live in Switzerland so I figured I would buy it - almost regardless of the price - and send it back to Victorinox workshop for a full restoration.

I already contacted them and sent pictures of the knife, they told me they can probably do something to remove the smaller "scars" and perform a full cleaning of the blades. They also mentioned that after the restoration we would still probably see some of the bigger "scars" and they warned me that if they break the knife during the process they cannot replace the sides as they are not being produced anymore...

But I'm willing to take the risk just to save that small little guy from its condition. I'm not sure if I will decide to keep it after the restoration process of sell it again, knowing that the idea is not to make any profit but get at least of portion of the cost back.

I apologize for any mistake in writing, english being not my native language :)

Thank you!

Guess you have been more convincing to the seller about shipping international, because when I asked he said he wouldn’t do international shipping  :cheers:

I am using a forwarder, so the seller actually ships to a US address and the forwarder ships it back to me, at additional costs for me of course.

Thank you for taking the time to sign up and for your reply! You're english is great!

I do respect, admire, and appreciate the commitment to save and restore this one.  :tu:  I was interested in doing the same, but I would have done the resoration myself.  I only wish you got it at a lower price...the other bidder was very committed too.  I am glad I wasn't your competition!  :)

At least prices are calming down a bit.  It'll be interesting to watch the next couple of auctions.

Wrongo.  :facepalm:  :oops:

Looks like at least 11 sold so far globally on *bay, at prices solidly above $300 USD before shipping.

I'm wondering if unboxing or checking numbers hurts or helps values.  #1,224 is also for sale in the US.

Seems like many sold in the US are still around #1,200.  I'm surprised there isn't anything outside of this number range coming out of the US.

There are #1,206 and #1,244 for sale, seller is letting buyer choose one.

Hi all,

I just purchased this one (see attachment) on ebay - how can I know if it's one of the rarest edition or not ?
I have good hope it's a pre-1991 model as it doesn't seem to have a hook or chisel.
What do you think ? Thanks!

It certainly looks like it's pre-'91...But not sure if it should have a can key in the phillips?  I was looking at it too.

EDIT: Maybe it's a 'rare' early version?  Doesn't have the 90º stop opener.

There's a #1,351 for sale from the states and #352 available from Germany.

Interesting to see where number ranges went so far.
