I think I got away with it.

For reference, here's a couple that sold last week.

I can't wait to get it. I've been coveting a Bose Hawbaker muskrat since I first laid eyes on one, but balked at the cost. At this price, even if I hate the thing, I can still resell it and come out ahead.

Uh, yeah, you robbed the guy. $200-$250 seems to be the going rate for these, congrats!! I love mine. :thumbup: Highly underrated knife IMO.

Well bought.

If it isn't a scam. Those are pure scammer pics, tiny and out of focus.

The seller has 100% feedback, nice score!

He has 100% feedback with over 800 transactions. 100+ as seller, including several knives, a few of which were other of the high-end Case/Bose collaberations. Plus eBay's got your back anyway when it comes to fraud. Yeah the photos suck, but they're good enough that you can tell that it's legit.

Good on you! Please put up a couple of pictures when you get it. - Ed

 

[Planterz]

Of course.

You stole it!There are some bargains out there for sure.People are broke and fed up with ebay also.Best way to hit a bargain is take a slight chance on fuzzy pics and or poor descriptions.Great knife! Id love to snag one.

 

[Planterz]

I only now realized how lucky I was. The knife was listed at about 7am my time, with a starting bid at $125. At about 9pm my time the seller added the BIN option at $150, and I snagged it at about 9:30pm. I'm guessing he was in need of some quick cash.

Perhaps my favourite high-end Case/Bose year knife.
You may not believe this but last year I bought off a Rifle dealer over here in the UK...4 Case/Bose year knives - Muskrat, IXL Pruner, Dogleg and Lockback Whittler all for $240 TOTAL !!!! Guess the guy did not know what he had and I paid him the price he was asking ($60 each) so I did not feel too bad about the deal. Wish it would happen more often. lol.

Dude. I have seen the lockback whittler alone go for over $700 a few times the past few months on that popular auction site. That might be one of the scores of a lifetime in terms of profit you could make re-selling them. Nice grab!
