I was selling a pistol to a friend today and was at a local gun store which I had never been in. While doing the transfer I leaned over to look at the knives and noticed a minty fresh Leatherman Minitool in the display case. Price is $32.99. I asked about the box and very sadly he could not find the original box for it. I left without it but I’m thinking for the price and it being brand new sitting there for who knows how long I may need to go back and rescue it. I sold off my Minitools long ago and do miss them. I do assume I’ll get a lashing from you guys for actually leaving without it.

Seeing it was discontinued in 2004, it’s certainly amazing that it’s still there (or was)...  :like:

$32.99 sounds like original MSRP when they were still being made. Even without the box, I would have given that any day.

I don't blame you at all. Our local gun store had several models at one point which were roughly 30% off or more--i.e. OHT for $55; Signal for $75. At the time, I didn't have the money, so I didn't buy any.  Our local army surplus store had a Surge for $100. Couldn't afford it then, but waited about 3-4 years; and the store was being merged into the pawn shop the guy who ran the place also owned.  I ended up walking out the door with it for $49.

What they said Cody  :tu:

It's much more complicated over here.
I know 4 shops selling Leatherman MTs in the next bigger city. Two of them are specialized for outdoor, hiking, trekking etc. and one of them is highly overpriced.

So I've bought my Rebar in a small tool shop.
For over 90€ still !! :facepalm:
