How high will it go......and a giveaway.
on: August 04, 2014, 11:26:28 PM
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spyderco-Spyder-Wrench-Spyderwrench-/201141617319?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

I am not affiliated to the auction in any way, nor do I know the seller.

Simply guess the high winning bid at auction close, and the closest guesser will win a small mystery prize shipped to them. Guesses in US dollars. US entries only please. No guesses later than 1 hour before auction close.

Oh, and the prize name will start with V, W, G, or L .....at my discretion :)

Very cool giveaway.  :tu:

Strategically everyone will wait until 1 hour before the sale ends. Maybe make it a day. Just a thought though.

I think I will wait for my guess.  ;)

Waiting may not help much. Sniping can radically change auction ending values even in the last few seconds.

I know my spyderwrenchs fairly well I can't remember seeing one stamped with made in usa on the handle like that.

Something on the adjustable wrench seems off to me as well. I can't say what.

If it's a fake it's a dam good one.

Ive got the byrd version of that, but I'd love to snag a USA made one as they are better made.  Im sure this will go for more than I'd part with though.  My byrd version I bought new for $35 which I felt is about it's worth.

Haven't been following the prices of these in a long time so I don't know how crazy or not it might get but I'd say with the disco factor and USA, maybe $120. Purely guesstimating.

Wow,

Never seen one of those before - Looks fascinating
Fortunately there is a nice review on MTo telling me all about it.  :D

Great idea for a competition NC (or is it Fidel?)

I dont know much about Spyderco except that they are very popular and pretty expensive and great knives
- So ... No longer manufactured; the original US made version, not the China Byrd version; pretty rare
So price could go pretty high I reckon.
My guess is added (out of competition)
Seeing as I was already editing the list  - I put in trevor.mcdermitt's guess

In competition:
$078.00 - VictorLouis
$120.00 - sawman
