Retired Leatherman Products Spotted for Sale
on: January 06, 2025, 06:33:09 AM
I live in New Zealand, and it is not unusual to find discontinued products from time to time still new on the shelf years after they are discontinued. I was at a local non-chain hardware store today and saw a couple discontinued Leatherman products for sale - still new in the box.

They had a Crunch and a Style PS. Not really into the Style PS since it does not have a blade, but I am on the fence over the Crunch. What is a new in box Crunch worth these days in US dollars? eBay did not turn up much for comparison.

I have seen NOS Crunch asking price between 100$-400$ but really havent look what price those were actually sold

Not sure if I would want to keep it or sell it - was more interested in seeing if if was a good deal. The shop is selling it for about $150 USD.

That's as good of a deal as you'll find now they are retired.

I just looked through those completed auctions and I can't get over what some people have been willing to pay for a Crunch.  At those prices I don't think I can use my Crunch anymore out of fear I might break it. :twak:

Finding this sort of thing in Hammer Hardware stores is not uncommon - especially the ones in small towns. In addition to discontinued Leatherman products, have found long discontinued Victorinox and Wenger knives in those places.

We have a NZ specific online auction selling platform called Trademe. Stuff comes across there all the time for crazy cheap prices sometimes. I just purchases a like-new 1997 PST with the original leather ship (also like-new) from there for $25 not too long ago.

Thanks Mate,

We will be in the South for a week and then up to the North Island. I will most definitely keep an eye open, especially on the Trademe site.
