The best knife score I have ever lucked into was a CRKT M16-14 titanium for $18.00 shipped. The "bay" was nice that day.
 
An old country store in up state new york had a bunch of buck 110s, I grabbed about 8 for $100.

I got an old Benchmade mini AFCK at a gun show for $30. Funny thing is, another kid was looking at that exact knife just before I bought it. I heard his dad say, "if you want a knife, that's a pretty good one," so I thought it was gone, but he lost interest and put it down.

Pretty much anything I buy on the American ebay is a "score" compared to the prices over here in Europe...
 
Best score was a dark gray armorhide Gerber Magnum Hunter I found on a "sale" table at a china shop in La Jolla. $15.

Got the knife in this picture at a gun show at a very low price it’s a Lynn Dowson custom sting knife. In fact it was almost a gift. Turns out that the fellow that sold it to me was a dealer that frequents this forum. After about 30 minutes of trading stories he made my day by giving me this grate deal.
 
Got a used Large Sebenza 21 on the 'bay for a little less than $300. Thats a deal right:D?

What in the heck is that finger looking thing on your keyring?:confused:
 
I got a Benchmade 43 balisong for what I think was a good price. They seem to have risen lately in price.:)
 
I scored a new leatherman micra for around $6 or so at one point. It was from one of those liquidation stores. thats about it for me as far as good finds go.
 
At my little local brick and mortar, I walked in one day to find a mint Busse Meaner Street LE for $235 on consignment. Needless to say I made a little profit on that one ;)

That was the best one, but I've gotten a bunch of great Spyderco finds on consignment there too: 440v Military, large original Persian, two Perrin Street Bowies, and an original Temperance. The Mili was $50 and the rest were $75 a piece. They were all from the same person's collection and were all unused except for the Mili.
 
Friend scored a slightly used Endura 3 Full Serrated for 5$ from the swap meet a couple weeks ago!

It’s a plastic finger, made to look like the ones the Native Americans use to trade. It’s made of a very hard plastic; I sharpened the finger nail on it. I use it as a kubotan.:o
 
Boker Action 2 (First Production Run embossed on the blade) new on Ebay, $15 shipped.

SAK Economy Camper, Camillus Pilot's knife (pre 67), and a Hiram A Smith sharpening kit, free as I was helping an old lady (hoarder) clean out her house. My wife got the better score in that deal. Smith bodyguard .38...had never had a round fired through it.
