The seller never identified it as a Rough Rider but the box can be seen behind the knife in the picture. I know that RR are "everyone's" favorite inexpensive knife, but good enough to fool people to spend that kind of money on it?
I have bought new Camillus made scout pattern knives for less, some with the Remigton name on them.
Anyone wish to comment?

hmmmmmm. I think some of the bidders are confused.

Just wait until the winning bidder sees "China" on the blade, lol.

I think these were about $12 on a recent SMKW Friday infomercial. I missed the chance to get one though.

I bought one and they are good knives but....43 bucks?

The one possible thing that would have driven this price is the fact that RR has not cataloged this knife yet.

You know what they say, " whatever the market will bare."

Looks like classic Forrest Gump "stoopid is as stoopid does" Some folks JUST don't know any better. BUYER BEWARE:thumbup:

I found two more auctions currently on ebay for the scout pattern RR, these are from a different seller and are identified as being RR.
Watching to see where the price settles.

It does say Rough Rider in "Item Specifics", with a little bit of research the buyer could have saved himself a lot of money

10 bids, and the winner paid $43.00. There are completed sales on the same site for the same knife for $11.50.

Caveat Emptor!

Okay guys, somebody got taken on ebay. Happens all the time unfortunately.

Let's move on and if you please, let's try to keep most of the Rough Rider info consolidated in the threads that have already been dealing with the subject.

Thanks.
