What's The Best Deal You Have Made on a Spydie?

[Mikael Andersson]

My Paramilitary 2 C81GPDBL2 in S110V... $149.97 for a $249.95 knife is pretty good I think.

I got a Kiwi CF for $120 one time, but my friend got the Gayle Bradley Air Prototype (made by Gayle himself) for $100. Eric wasn't too pleased that the knife was sold, but the Glessers run a business with integrity and honored the sale.

I forgot about the time I got a CF, and laminated PM2 for $200. That was a win.

I scored a caly 3 cf for $115.

[DutchBlades]

Centofante 3 for €10
Harpy for €25
Endura 4 for €35

I've had some lucky moments :)
But then again, there were some unlucky moments like being scammed on a Kris and a Rubicon...
Most of my other Spydies weren't great deals or something, just regular secondary market prices.
Some higher than MSRP, some lower.

Picked up a NIB Sage 2 for $70

My best deal was a week ago, a new 204P Military from KW @139

Ha yea man that was probably at or below their cost. I definitely would have jumped on that had I known about it, and might have even felt a tiny bit bad about their mistake...

but probably not.

I scored a Gayle Bradley 2 NIB off of the local Craigslist for $90.00 yesterday!!!

I did feel a bit bad for about 5mins after they corrected the price to 179. Then I realised I have spent thousands at KW over the last few years, with no end in sight, and the feeling disappeared... :D

My best deal was a $30 stainless steel Poliwog on Ebay a while back, with second place probably being a $60 factory second Slysz Bowie with no problems that I could find.

He's alive! :D

You started the M4 thread and I was wondering of you would poke your head in.

Bought 2 kris for $115 each from a lovely lady up north thanks to a fellow spydie enthusiasts. When the manix 2 came out in S90V and cf got them for $165 a piece. Of course the real deal came when I traded a kris and a manix 2 cf S90V for a Gibson Explorer. So technically i paid $285 for a $1000 guitar. Also found a Pacific salt once so i got that for free. Unfortunately i have since misplaced the remaining kris for the last 7 months. I'm still hopeful i might find it.

My best deal on a Spydie was a :spyder: Mule Team #17 in K-390, from Nate, right here on the Spyderco Forum.
Many thanks again for that one. :)

Hey guys,
Just found this clipit rescue at a local pawn shop for $35.00

Seems to be new and never sharpened.
Thanks for looking!
Later,
Don

Grabbed a nice Meerkat SE reverse S for $50 last week at a tool swap meet. Nice find, I haven't seen them that cheap in years.

[bh49]

you just reminded me. Few years ago I bought Golden made Meerkat on a knife show for $40.

[joeldworkin307]

My best may have been my first spydercos: A PE Wenger for 10 and a 440C Meerkat for 6. Both in a second hand shop in Englewood, CO. I've had some killer deals since, but that was among the best.

[RichJo86]

It was on my daily user, a standard Delica 4 PE FRN.
50% of retail (€40, ~$50). It was missing a screw from the pocket clip so they couldn't sell it. They dropped it in the B-stock box.
Bought it, mailed Spyderco's awesome CS and the screws/clip were on their way to me. It's one of my favorite knives.

[xceptnl]

A few of my record deals.
Stainless Kiwi lockback $45
Red Bone Kiwi $60
Catcherman $95
Centofante $85
Caly 3 HAP-40 $112
Baby Jess Horn $72

finding deals on discontinued Spydies might be one of my favorite parts of being a Spyderco fanatic.

Update: S30V Wharnie Delica, LNIB vintage Snap-it $0,00 :D
