Re: Case Red Etch 52032 for HOW much
I can't but I have one I'd sell the people bidding on it that is probably nicer for a lot less. I posted a case tested, office knife. I thought the it was a $40 knife with a cracked handle. I asked a guy on here why it brought so much. He said "you are Lockyer and found a couple stupid bidders". Lmao. What can you say???
Re: Case Red Etch 52032 for HOW much
I forgot to say. I got $232 for the knife

Yeah Keith sometimes you get lucky I guess. Looks like there are two bidders duking it out on this one. I guess they don't know or care that these usually go for about $85.espn77 wrote:I forgot to say. I got $232 for the knife![]()

Re: Case Red Etch 52032 for HOW much
I SAW THAT EXACT SAME AUCTION & COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER !!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I looked at the bidding history.
In fact, I felt compelled to email ebay it was so blatant - this is a textbook case of shill bidding. There are 2 buyers that were in a fake bidding war to take it up that high (4-5x it's worth) ... they were hoping for a sucker with deep pockets to jump in on top of them. Probably the worst case of shill bidding I've seen in a long time. If that buyer advertises it again in a week or two or a month, it will prove my point.
