Did ANY come with the blue box? I have 2 and one is numbered (473) the other dated 10-24-01 and both have the white box. I see one for sale with a blue box with it and just thought I'd ask before I consider buying it. If it didn't come with the blue box, this seller is obviously trying to pull a fast one because he claims he bought it brand new and it's sat in his safe ever since.

Mine are both White. The older blue boxes that I have would be too small for a Shabaria.
 
I sent him a message asking for a pic of the end of the box with the factory label. We will see if he responds.
 
I'm not gonna bid on it now anyways. I found a great deal on a brand new Pikal P'Kal , that I know will be NIB. I just don't trust those sellers with older knives on eBay a whole lot. (price goes way up so they want to make it "MINT" even if it's not) I've got a few that were perfect and a couple that weren't what they was being sold as.
 
If you mean the PE one on eBay that ends late tomorrow night, the box is one of the grey/spiderweb boxes. Like Rawd, mine came in a white box. So my guess is the grey box is not the correct box for the knife, but the only way to know for sure would be to see the label since a really late production Sharbaria may have come in that box. There might still be time to at least ask the seller what the label on that box says.

That was the one, but I've already got two and nether cost me as much as his reserve (the mint #473 was 135.50!) so I got the Pikal P'Kal for a great price (139.99) and I'm forgetting the Shabaria.
 
He sent a message back to me saying his camera was broken. He did however say the label was correct for the knife. When I put the knife on my watch list I didnt notice he had the bidding starting at $185.00. Like you said too much for that knife imo.
 
It has no bids on it so far. -My Dad picked me up an collector# 187 Ocelot for a sweet 82 dollars today, so I got that and the P'Kal on the way and I hope I stop buying for a long while! (Those interest free credit cards for a year will tempt 'ya!)
 
I had a Shabaria at one point (pause to kick myself for selling it) and it came with the grey/green box. It had the correct label on it for the knife. Just thought I'd chime in, even though you aren't interested anymore.
 
I guess they do come with that box. Even though all my other Spydies from that time line have the white box.
