Another Matrix on EvilBay

I'm surprised someone is willing to buy $150 more on an inferior knife with the PoS proprietary screws that the end-user can't adjust.
 
yeah, forgot about the live auctions part, kinda figured enough people griping would help get the seller to change his business practice.
@ Seanifred, sure they are until they figure out the better original design knife is less expensive and better quality, doing my part to help educate the masses. If you have nothing constructive to say, go away.
 
As they say, there's a sucker born every minute.

Anyways, the auction is ended. Take a screenshot/print pdf of the page if you want to record it, after all, ended listings expire at one point or another.
 
What's the deal with the auction? Is it a fake or something of the like? I apologize if this is a dumb question. I am just out of the loop on all of this stuff.

The auction was for a Microtech Matrix, which is a stolen design. Kershaw/ZT is releasing the 0777, and it's won several awards. Because Microtech's founder has an issue with Kershaw (How dare them design a concept OTF?!), he lifted the design, crappified its guts, and put it out before Kershaw's release date.

And some dealers are selling them.

Personally, though, I don't blame the dealers. Hell, if they can make money legally selling a legal knife, the more they can get for it, the more power to 'em. Plus, if Kershaw actually has patents for their 0777, Microtech's in for a world of hurt and those knives will be mega collector's items.

Here's the whole fat skinny: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/901807-The-Original-0777
 
Why would anyone want to pay $660 for that POS copy with a sad looking stamped clip? The real deal price on BladeHQ is listed at $480. And that's for the real thing with Devin Thomas Damascus, a nicer clip and the lock bar adjuster. Crazy.
