Case Red Etch 52032 for HOW much

The W.R.

The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

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???

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. ::shrug::

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.
pffffft that's not a knife ......... now THAT'S a knife !! Crocodile Dundee
