Last Thursday or Friday i got a call from the manager of a local knife shop. He said there was a guy there wanting to sell a 123OT. The manager wanted to know if I wanted it or knew what it was worth.
I told him to to offer the guy $25 and I would reimburse him for it. The guy took the $25, but my friend decided that he wanted $40 for the knife. I had consulted with one of my forum friends to see what it was worth as none had sold recently on ebay. He had said $50-$80 was a ballpark amount.
When I got to the store today I saw the knife and I would have paid $40 for it easy. It is such a great fit in your hand at 4 inches as opposed to the much larger 5-1/4 inches of the 125OT. The 123OT is a nice size for the pocket and lays nice and flat. I ended up trading my the manager a Kershaw that i had picked up on sale for $24. So I got the knife for $1 less than I had committed to, and my friend will make a bundle on the Kershaw.
Another happy win-win knife trade.

We had a Hoffritz here at the mall about 20 years ago. (Than again, Maybe its better that there isn't one near by.)
