The picture looks like they have used Microsoft paint to colour in hte background and around the knife is poorly done giving it a ragged look...but other than that the knife looks pretty clean. I have seen a few people list a Mule as used because it has had scales put on.
Mind you the seller can't spell and only has 80% positive feedback...so you never know.

Major turn offs for me are when people are too lazy to take their own pictures, or in like this case, take a decant picture (or a few of them). It looks like he tried to cut something out that was above the knife in the picture. Why not just take another picture? Even when I sell "cheaper" stuff I always make sure there are a good number of pictures.

FWIW, eBay only allows sellers two options, NEW and USED. Describing something as NEW puts New places "A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item (including handmade items)." in the listing. The unopened part, coupled with eBay's return policy, makes some sellers list "NIB" knives as used.
While that's probably the case here, and the photo is most likely just a bad retouch job, I'd still pass on this knife. I'm leery about dealing with anyone whose eBay name includes the word "pawn", and twice as leery about dealing with anyone with an 80% feedback score. The two together just scream "DANGER WILL ROBINSON!".

I just looked at all the items that they have listed and they all look legit to me.
I even looks at all his feedback and the one neg feedback he has looks bogas to me.
He might be terrible at photo shop but i think everything else is legit.
I don't know this seller and just wanted to give my ophion....

For the price I thought the same thing. If I had a mule I would use it hard if I needed to. So, if the price was right I wouldn't mind some scratches and stuff since I'd be just adding to them. Plus, if I put handles on the Mule it would be ok but not a professional looking job so appearance wouldn't be of main concern.DeathBySnooSnoo wrote:Of course for that price...it might be worth asking for other pictures. Paypal and ebay will cover the buyer if the item isn't as described or as seen in pictures.

Whatever we think or don't think...used, unused, use by one person but not the other...displayed only....bad pic.....suck job on photoshop....pawn broker username....80% feedback....bottom line is people are bidding on it....then again we don't know if that's legit either......Doc :confused:
