...none of my dear Schrade friends here are so foolish to pay this kind of money for a beautiful but tiny 3 inch peanut. But... if so be it... enjoy.

Re: I hope...
I have seen a lot of mint Schrade Cuts and early Waldens go for this kind of money lately. Higher with salesman's inked numbers on them. Genuine mint is getting hard to find.

If it was a bone 8OT... I'd be so foolish!
Re: I hope...
I just bought a very similar knife so I was all over this one until the bids jumped up a little too fast...and the bidders are hidden. Adds up to me losing interest real quick. Here's the minty clean 2222 I snagged for waaay less than this peanut is already up to.

Re: I hope...
If this knife is 100% correct and never buffed i do not see current price of $280 as 'out of line'. If this was a larger SCC Jack pattern in this condition no one would be surprised to see it sell for $400 or more. The only possible surprise here is that smaller knives usually do not get the bidding that larger knives do.
Cal, would you explain your concern a little better ? Maybe i am missing something here ?
thanks, kj

Re: I hope...
Can an ebay seller make any listing "protect buyer's identity" ?
What is the purpose of doing this ?
The downside i see is that one cannot know if it is 2 bidders going at it or if there are numerous bidders. Is there more to it than this ?

I think you can make any auction a private listing Roland with only the seller Knowing each identity. I don't like those auctions and I tend to avoid them.kootenay joe wrote:Can an ebay seller make any listing "protect buyer's identity" ?

Re: I hope...
This seller is the only one I run into that does that. It is a mystery to me and it is annoying. My concern over the peanut is that it just costs too much to suit me; I would like to have it. Frankly, I think the other one posted here with the very old-style match strike pull is far mo cooler yep; that one I WOULD pay big. I wonder who made that Primble?
