On Saturday I was browsing some Bark River knives because I love them. Of course this particular very big store who will not be mentioned had a lot to choose from. As I scrolled down to page 5 I saw some Bravo Squad leaders 116 with different handle scales listed for 4 dollars...yes 4 bucks. Needless to say I put one of each in my cart thinking the price would correct itself, it didn't after shipping the 4 cost me 32 bucks! Feeling a bit convicted I contacted the company to see if my order was legit. The woman confirmed my order for 32 bucks. I told her that these knives should be more than 4 dollars, I don't think she fully understood what I was trying to convey. She thanked me for shopping with them. I returned to the store and purchased 8 more at 4 bucks a pop. Shortly after that they were "no longer available" Just in time to hand them out for Christmas! Unfortunatly for them someone had made a critical error in pricing the merchandise online.
 
Don't suppose I could convince you to part with one of those ?

Kudos for contacting the store to see if an error had been made. I don't think too many people would have done that. I hope I would have, but maybe not. Others would say you were crazy to contact them. I say "THAT WAS ONE CRAZY DEAL!!" :eek::thumbup:
 
Once you realized they really were selling for $4
you should have bought them all...

Great bargain find though....

Holy Crap, that's insane.

I get super excited when I find a deal that's like 50< dollars off but I would've cleaned them out at that price. Would've bought so many shipping would've been free lol.

Did you buy from the big store themselves, or a 3rd party seller?

They were fulfilled by knife country usa I believe? I suppose they aren't legit?

I figured the 3rd party thing was a risk, but I figured - If they are legit, I just made out like a bandit. if they aren't, I've got 2 knives I can beat the crap out of for $4 each.

I don't know if they're legit or not. I've never had any issues with that seller, but I know fakes do sometimes turn up through various 3rd party sellers. I once saw an "Emerson Commander" for $18, but I'm pretty sure Ernie had no hand in making that one, heh. But hey, for $4, you don't have much to lose regardless.
 
There was someone on the forum not long ago that bought a batch of knives at similar next to nothing prices then he was making up sob stories and trying to sell them for nearly retail price.
