Anybody else notice that the photo was taken right from the SAKWicki?

Sean · **Reply #3 on:** October 04, 2010, 09:44:31 PM

Does anyone else want to come forward and admit they scooped one? I did, and want to say thanks
edursr for the link. Hopefully it's the real deal.

Neil · **Reply #4 on:** October 04, 2010, 10:06:50 PM

How many were there?

By all means let us know how it turns out. No selling history at all for this seller.

Looks as if there were 15 sold.

edursr · **Reply #6 on:** October 04, 2010, 11:01:11 PM

I bought one too... I hope it is the real deal...

when I bought there were more than 10 for sale...

well, there is always ebay Buyer Protection if we something goes wrong...

Sean · **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2010, 02:38:53 AM

Yeah we'll let you know how it all pans out guys.

About 12 for shipping so that end seems
square enough. Might have got a bargain huh? Glad you nabbed one also edursr.

Wow a jackpot on ebay. Lucky dogs who picked up those.

edursr · **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2010, 06:04:32 AM

Well, look what that same seller just listed now...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Victorinox-Harvester-Red-Swiss-Knife-Free-Shipping-NEW-/300473752289?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item45f5a19ae1

he said in the AD it is a harvester, but posted a farmer picture...

ICanFixThat · **Reply #10 on:** October 05, 2010, 06:31:31 AM

I would not mind a couple extra Farmers for trades. Since I'm broke buying other items right now I think I have to sit this out, it looks funny and no US shipping price yet.

felinevet · **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2010, 06:53:28 AM

Ok, something is fishy here. Check the feedback - all are from sellers mainly in China and nothing from buyers. I think he may be getting Chinese knock-offs and selling them as genuine. I would be very, very careful dealing with him. I grabbed one of his Scientist and will see what happens but I have a really bad feeling about this.

felinevet · **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2010, 07:09:35 AM

Ok, more intrigue. Looking at his other items, he calls a Climber a Waiter, a Spartan with a hook, etc.

He sold one (of ten) and then ended the listing...

Sean · **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2010, 04:36:36 PM

what should I do pay him? I did tech buy it but am getting a bit of an uneasy feeling about it also. I've
sent him a message before payment requesting a picture of the actual item so if he complies I will let you
guys know.

You may have an out due to the incorrect verbage in the auction. Otherwise I think you would be obligated.

I think that is a good thing. Maybe someone reported him to eBay? In any case it will be interesting to see if he delivers on the "Scientists".

I ordered two harvesters from him and did tell hem that his pictures are not correct.
I sent him the just information about pioneer, farmer and harvester.
That's why he corrects his listings. He didn't now and I believe him,so far good communication.
After this he wrote me he has only one red harvester he could sent me.
I ask him to sent me the red farmer and the red harvester.
So far so good?

I hope?

Sean · **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:26:19 PM

ok guys here is the picture he sent me of the actual item. (scientist)

can you tell is it the real deal?

Neil · **Reply #20 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:28:07 PM

Looks fine to me.

Sean · **Reply #21 on:** October 05, 2010, 09:44:39 PM

Good to know, well I paid him so we'll see what happens.

jan. · **Reply #22 on:** October 05, 2010, 10:04:26 PM

He was thankful that I give him the just information about the alox vic's he listed
and I told him to to look at sakwiki.com.
He write me that he sent me an extra farmer for that.
I think he knows nothing about sak's and you can also correct him I think.
Sofar I think he is honest

If not, there is always ebay buyers protection

Next week I shall know
