I love that knife, but not a $500 love affair.

Here's number three to show up on eBay...all are the wood handle model (no blue camel bones...yet). The prices seem to be coming down; this seller has his listed for $399 with free shipping.

This is curious. This knife was listed for $425/OBO and after a few days it showed that it had sold for "Best offer accepted"

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185152131616?h ... 7675.l2557

Today, however, I see the exact same knife from the same seller (using the same photos) has been listed AGAIN for $425/OBO:

It's the exact same knife, not a different one that the seller managed to get from KSF. So, I wonder what gives?

Buyer's remorse, perhaps...the buyer changed his mind after his offer was accepted? Or, maybe the buyer is just screwing with the seller because he's a Flipper (I've been tempted to do that myself a time or two, but decided it wasn't worth it to ruin my rating on eBay for non-payment.)

So if a guy landed one in the future and wanted cost plus a hard to find RR he probably wouldn't be considered a bad guy?

I recently had a non-payer on one of my auctions. Turns out he was based in China with 8 transactions, 7 0f which were non-pays. I don't under stand why ebay would let someone like that hang around.

I hear ya Cody.

They are both out of my price class as well so I just enjoy seeing other people's knives.

Can't have everything.

The first Blue Camel Bone Lookout Jack to appear on eBay and the Seller/Flipper (Slipper?) is asking "only" $599.00. Surely any knife collector here would agree that this is a reasonable mark-up

BTW: This is just me being ironic...or is it sarcastic?...I can never remember which is worse. But, either way, I certainly hope I haven't offended anyone by exposing the "Invisible Hand" of Capitalism. (again, that's meant to be sarcastic).

But WAIT!!! There's more from the same "Slipper"...same asking price ($599/OBO)

I'd say you pegged it Q with buyers remorse or some clown screwing with the seller. After all, it is Fleabay!

There's another one with a wharncliffe blade Q with an asking price of US$999.00,

so it would appear we have folks attempting to get rich overnight! Who'd a thunk it!

Another Blue Camel Bone Lookout is up for grabs on eBay.

$549.95/OBO
https://www.ebay.com/itm/363614939326?_ ... %3A2047675

I wonder why these aren't selling as fast on the secondary/flipper market as they did during the initial release?

I mean, for such an (apparently) popular knife, you'd think price would not be an obstacle.

I've been packing mine all over! I'll be gutting a deer with it Saturday lord willing.

I agree. Stunning knife and an excellent photo too.

No denying it's a beautiful knife.

Did you get yours from KSF or from a flipper?

Can't help but wonder if you would have still purchased one if you had to pay 3-4 times as much as it sold for on KSF?

A drop tomorrow, some really nice covers.

Me neither. The only one I have was on close out because it was an extremely unpopular Moose pattern.

I'm the same and I prefer old pocket knives , in the uk GEC and Northwood go for silly money, and flipping happens here as well, I had a gec half whittler that I won on a Raffle a few years back , carried it a bit but then it just sat in a draw so I gave it to a friend , most slipjoint groups on FB are full of people showing GEC's & Northwoods , you can tell they dint actually carry them, shame really as there made to be used, or in there case put away as investments I suppose
