Now, I realize that Gerber Mark 2s aren't made anymore, but...

A buy it now of $495 seems a bit excessive.
Mark 2 on EBay

Am I wrong in my thinking?
Most of the time I see non special/commemorative versions of the Mark 2 on EBay they going for $100 +/- $20.


Just something that caught my eye,

It does'nt seem that bad, considering it's in great shape and has all the other stuff. Older Gerber's usually go for very decent amounts. His other auctions aren't that far out of wack pricewise either.
 
It sounds excessive to me but I don't remember what they sold for new when they were available. I had one a long time ago and lost it one weekend when I was camping. I just remember I didn't regret losing it enough to get emotional about it.

...Until now. :( :(
 
I just got the Gerber Mk 2 back that was stolen from me 20 years ago. I'm having my name and the saying, Fidem Meam Noto etched on the blade. I had forgotten why I had boughten it and was so happy. It was a great fighting knife but it had serrations that would cut through commo wire. The serrations were advertised to cut through helo skin but they really cut through commo wire and made it easy to strip. This cut weight down because I ditched my commo clippers and carried my Gerber. I went through at least 3 of them in one tour in VN, another in Korea. The one that lasted I took to Honduras with me and it was stolen by my brother or a freind of my brother when I came home with a serious eye injury and went in the V A hosp in my home town. I had left it at my Mom's house. I doubt that I will carry it, I have a Katz I love, a Cold Steel Recon Tanto I like, and a really nice Randall I can go to if necessary. But I humped mountains with the Gerber.
 
i have a mark 11 i got new in '71, isnt new anymore i carried it a lot back in the day, still in good shape though, and sharp.

i paid $38.50 for it i found the ticket for it a few yrs ago.
