SELLER FAILS
I messaged him with a detailed description of what he ACTUALLY had. No reply for two days now and no change in listing.

Re: SELLER FAILS
Some if the fleabay sellers don't care. They either THINK they know or make up a story and an inflated price hoping someone will believe the story. All too often they're right.

Re: SELLER FAILS
What is the knife? Looks like a Muskrat, I’m not up on New York Knife Co. l like the looks of it but not for that kind of money. My old 77OT still works very well.

It is a 1990ish release muskrat by Imperial Schrade in 440C and stag, part of a run of four patterns, 152 fixed, muskrat, stockman and trapper.

Re: SELLER FAILS
Cal, you may have seen this on another forum, but I have one of the stockmen made in 1995.
Nice knife, but not worth $595 . . . maybe $95 (BIG maybe).

Re: SELLER FAILS
Yeah, I said 1990; I wasn't sure about that, so maybe 1995 for all of them or some of them. I had one of the stockmans at one point but it has gone off somewhere to a nice guy I know.black mamba wrote:Cal, you may have seen this on another forum, but I have one of the stockmen made in 1995.

Re: SELLER FAILS
Seller re-listed at $29.99. He's still calling it a Cut Co but at least he had the sense to listen to the marketplace on pricing.

Re: SELLER FAILS
Looks like it sold for $29.99, which was a good buy for someone. I have the 4 knives that Schrade made and they are great quality. I certainly wouldn't sell mine for that low of a price....but then again, I rarely sell any of my knives anyway.....lol
I did give one up a couple years ago for an AAPK Auction, donation, and it sold to a member here for $100

Re: SELLER FAILS
I just saw another listing on the bay where the seller describes the knife as "Vintage, Very Old" when the tang stamp is from 1965-'77. He says it is stainless steel, when both blades are covered with patina and pepper spots. He describes it as a "red bone handle" when it is clearly Delrin. It is listed as a lockback when it is a slipjoint. I'm not sure they got one single thing right in the whole listing! And to top it all off, after missing nearly all the details, he says, "Bid with confidence!" WOW!!!

Re: SELLER FAILS
You have to work your way up, Ken; first seller, then lawyer, THEN politician. Actually, I can't see the listing, but it is probably just a fellow that doesn't know a knife from a sweet potato.Mumbleypeg wrote:The guy should be a politician - meets all the requirements.black mamba wrote:I just saw another listing on the bay where the seller describes the knife as "Vintage, Very Old" when the tang stamp is from 1965-'77.

That's my point. He doesn't know anything but all the right buzzwords. And he says you can have confidence in him!tongueriver wrote:You have to work your way up, Ken; first seller, then lawyer, THEN politician.

Do you recall the etymology of the word "con man"? It is 'short' for confidence man.Mumbleypeg wrote:you can have confidence in him!
