On "the bay". Even the title seems "a little off". What says you?

Spyderco Delica 4 Assisted Flipper? Fake?

Did someone buy it, or did the seller just end/move it? I ask because right under the original "ended" listing is the EXACT same thing.

The pics almost look like company shots that someone just did a little jiggery-pokery on, but what do I know? Nothing!

Look at the description, it is a bunch of nonsense, then look at his feedback and responses he leaves for negative feedback. Images look like stock pics. He is selling below MAP, which is not allowed for legit dealers. Radar not going off yet?

Does this look like an authorized dealer? Why would anyone buy from this guy? If a deal is too good to be true, it generally is. Most likely a fake, but like I said, why even consider buying from anyone this shady in the first place?

100% Agreed, lol.

I'm putting it up here, NOT because I'm considering buying it, but because I want to make aware. I'm 99% positive it's all garbage/counterfeit/fake - again - I agree with what you wrote.
I recently read where, I think it was TazKristi, posted about putting the links up to fakes/suspected fakes up in the thread. It was in a "liner lock PM2" thread that I'd posted in too. That's all I'm doing. Just putting the light on it. That is the purpose of the section of the forum, is it not?
