Another eBay doozie

Here’s another good un’. Only $502.09 (plus $30 shipping) for a Delrin 1980s Case.

It does look like it’s in good condition.

I've noticed several of those outrageously priced knives on eBay coming from Japan as this one is. That would convert to 76,079 Yen + 4,546 shipping. The small print also states that "International shipment of items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges". What a deal!!!
Maybe we should take our collections over there and become Yen Billionaires.
Check out this professionally sharpened synthetic beauty currently at $100.00 on a Shepherd Hills auction.

Maybe the $502.09 includes airfare to Japan so that you can personally pick it up yourself?

Me too, I'll still get on every now and again and look but I'm sure not buying much.

I seldom buy either, but I enjoy looking (and shaking my head). Sometimes it’s entertaining (doesn’t take much to entertain me

) and it’s often educational. I “watch” things I’m interested in just to see what they are worth.

That's odd about the Shepherd Hills knife. It's a wonder they didn't put a Tested blade in the OP knife.

I saw some shared photos between some sellers and Dusty Duck today. Be careful out there.

What is with Japanese sellers and high prices on items common (and usually 10x less expensive) in the US? I've noticed it with several diecast models that are sub $50 from the US, but $3-500 from these Japanese sellers. It seems super common in my eBay searches these days. Seems they'd realize what these were selling for in the US before listing them on US eBay.
