Would you pay double msrp?

[Tungstenfanatic]

I’m currently on the hunt for a spyderco para 3 in g10 with cruwear steel. The only ones I can find are for crazy prices on eBay. There is a purple g10 scale with dlc cruwear and black hardware dlt exclusive for sale with a $308 price tag ($165 retail). What do y’all think of this crazy markup?

 

[mushka]

Go ahead and buy it if you don't mind being robbed.

 

[guy g]

I wouldn't

 

[Dav1]

Nope! But it's your money.

 

[gazz98]

I wouldn't do it either but it is your money.

 

[sailfish]

Absolutely not.

 

[Chronovore]

No, but it's like others have said. If it's really the thing you want, it'll absolutely make you happy and serve you well, and you can't get it any other way... just pay up and enjoy!

 

[Greggy]

A knife is worth to you what you are willing to pay for it.

 

[Danke42]

There's always going to be a cool PM3 with a special steel coming soon.

 

[beeinak]

Things are worth what someone will pay. It is hard to put a price on something that you truly want, and what makes you smile.

 

[Ajack60]

For that price, I wouldn’t own a Para 3 with cruwear. I’d continue the hunt until one popped up at a reasonable price.

 

[BD_01]

Nope. Don’t feed the scalping b@stards.

 

[Locutus D'Borg]

If you don't think you'll resell it, then buy it. In a few weeks or months you won't even remember what you paid. Okay, that's what I tell myself.

 

[DavidABQ]

In a couple of years it may be double that price!

 

[Roblues]

If you are patient you will find one for mrsp or less. Budget 6-12 months and you will be rewarded for the wait. Meantime you will build character and appreciation for the knife once you get one. They are very nice.

 

[Neener Neener]

No way. That's crazy.

 

[luethge]

Maybe post a WTB add here. Patience can pay pay off.

 

[eveled]

No I wouldn’t. Every time I used it, I’d be reminded how I overpaid.

 

[Bob Denman]

A knife is worth to you what you are willing to pay for it.

Amen!!! When I buy a knife: I look to see if it's attributes make it worth the price... to me!
MSRP never enters the equation.

Well, never say never, but it’s 180° from my usual MO.
