Question on buying a 31 from eBay via authorized dealer.

Dullknivescut · Feb 18, 2023

Lead times are what they are. Anyone purchase from “Action-concepts” CRK authorized dealer on eBay? I have never purchased a knife of this quality from eBay.

My only concern is under one of the listings (Specifically the large Inkosi) a positive review states “Was delivered from Walmart+, great tactics!)

No clue what the hell Walmart+ would be doing with a CRK authorized dealer out of eBay.

Feel free to move the thread if it’s not in the appropriate section. Thanks.

CRK lists them as an authorized dealer using ebay, located in Austin. Have heard nothing negative, and his prices tow the standard CRK pricing. If you found what you want I wouldn't hesitate to use him. The Walmart comment is likely junk.

I’ve bought from them. Never had any problems with their service.

I’ve ordered several CRK knives from them over the years and never had any problems.

Action Concepts on eBay is legit. I’ve bought from him several times

Thanks guys gonna purchase the 31 and post up once it arrives. Sold all my old 21s and knives in general awhile back to make way for family. So I appreciate the feedback a lot. Will feel good to have a CRK again.

After reading this post I found this one:

DON'T BUY from Action Concepts

Judge character on action. Judge dealer on action. Action Concepts sells a certain knife on their website for the normal street price, but it's marked out of stock. HOWEVER- the same exact knife can be found listed under their ebay account with stock of 10+ for $30% more! and no response...

I read it too but I think that post is more indicative of pricing and not quality - and it’s rather old over a decade ago. Comparing the pricing around the web I don’t really see much of an increase besides the shipping as of today. When my knife arrives I’ll post in the other show your CRK thread.

I would rather pay the 15 dollar shipping fee than wait 8 months to years.

I also do not see the action concepts website anymore. So they only seem to sell on eBay now.

Hopefully this thread will cancel that one out. As they Seem to receive the most stock out of everyone online. And are an authorized dealer.

It’s all good I have no affiliation with this dealer just tired of waiting and getting notifications on stock from other dealers and poof it’s gone before I even wake up from bed lol.

There good to go Iv got a couple from them without issue

dericdesmond · Feb 20, 2023

Id buy from him.

ibute21 · Feb 20, 2023

I’ve bought multiple items from him. He’s legit. My only heart burn is paying sales tax every time I buy on eBay.

brock stewart · Feb 21, 2023

I’ve bought several with no issues

MreeceC · Feb 21, 2023

Bought a couple with zero issues.

Just wanted to cap off the thread with the knife from the action-concepts authorized dealer eBay store. The 31 Arrived today perfectly centered. Early shipping. Born in February 2022. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Hopefully this thread will cancel out that old one. I’ll be sure to leave positive feedback in the feedback section as well.

Only thing is I guess the old 21s came with the calf skin pouch? I’ll have to pick one up.

Good to know the transaction went over well. That’s interesting to hear that about the new 31s with the pouch? The last knife I bought from AC was a Mnandi in June of last year and it came with the pouch.

Wood inlaid, CGG, unique and damascus 31s include the pouch. This was the same with the 21s

My memory is not great. And I purchased quite a few different knives (many CRK back in the day, most were inlaied.

So it’s par for the course for a plain to not have a pouch?
