This is getting ridiculous now. 1200$ for a para 3! What am I missing here.

The can ask what they like.
They need to find a buyer.

Often the increase the price to get more attention.

Buy Now prices on unsold items are completely irrelevant.

Just because their asking those prices, doesn't mean they'll get it.

It’s just crazy to see these. I like watching to which dumb person pays that much. I can understand 300-350 but over a grand for 160$ knife is ludicrous. Those blade show shamans are selling around 550-600 on there. 🤯

You can find the KnifeWorks 204p Para 3s for $200 occasionally. And it’s basically the same knife without the coating.

Everyone on the forum bidding $10, is funny. Evil, is when you have a bot farm and put enough $10 bids in to crash his page, and then make a complaint against him for poor customer service.

850$ for pm2.
I made an offer at the original CSI price of $299, seller counter offered at $400

The high "buy it now" price is often an attention grabber, or just a lets see if someone will....

I'd rather get a custom made before I'd pay a flipper. Custom makers = good, flippers = blech.

I think the problem is there's a large group of people now that just order multiples of sprint runs etc or just buy one with the intent to gouge people that actually want the knife. I've watched one guy on ebay list a sprint run pm2 and sell 7 of them now for $350-400 when it originally was $179.. granted I guess the problem is, people keep paying too

Or a sham intended to make another listing for the same model by a confederate of the seller for a lower, but still ridiculously high, BIN price look like a bargain. May not be the case with this listing, but I've seen it done.
