Dear shaggydaisymae,
Greg,
The $1.25 isn't the issue. You listed this Cold Steel Americam Lawman as "new or like-new", and either "new or like-new" would indicate to me that the knife should have come with the box, or at-least with the left-hand pocket-clip that Cold Steel provides with EVERY American Lawman folder that they sell. I looked at the Cold Steel web-site, and it looks like they no-longer give-away the pocket-clips, as they are listed for sale...Quote from the Cold Steel web-site: "Cold Steel sells replacement clips. Metal clips are $5.00 plus $2.50 shipping.". So, for me to make my American Lawman folder "whole" (and so that I can carry it, clipped inside of my pocket), it will cost me $9.04...$5.00 for the item, $2.50 for shipping, $1.10 for the Postal Money Order, and $0.44 for the postage stamp. I don't expect you to pay for the pocket clip, but had I known that the American Lawman knife that I bought from you didn't come with the box, or even with the "left-hand" pocket-clip (not to mention the coating loss on the blade & pocket-clip), I'd have spent the "extra" $1.25 and received a TOTALLY new knife.

Dear glockman99,
Hi the pocket clip for the left hand did not come with the knife when I bought it. The box is not included but I understand your confusion. From cold steel this knife with box runs $89.99. You got this knife for $43.99 off of the cold steel price. You can get the clip for the left hand from cold steel cheap to add to your knife. The box I understand that you thought it came with it but I put new or like new. Like new meaning no box and not new in that way. I can refund you $1.25 as you said somwhere you could have gotten the knife with a box. The knife has never been used by me and is in new or like new condition. Let me know if that is agreeable to you. Thanks, Greg

Dear shaggydaisymae,
The Cold Steel American Lawman knife that I bought from you at eBay arrived today (07/18/11), but since you listed it as "new or like-new", I expected that it would come in the Cold Steel box, or at-least with the "extra" (left-hand) pocket-clip, but all I received was the knife with the right-hand pocket-clip. I am left-handed, so I can't carry this knife clipped to my pocket, as I had planned. The knife itself is in very good (but not "new, or like new") condition as some of the black coating is gone from the edge of the spine of the blade, and from the pocket-clip.
I am not totally unhappy with this knife, but not quite what I expected, as I could have bought one TOTALLY brand-new, in the box, with both pocket-clips, etc., for only $1.25 more than what I paid for the one I received.
