cheap Urban ?

Is $70 for an Urban shipped to Australia a good deal?

I've taken a look around and prices are all over the place.

For a NIB, I would say so. Prices are usually around 70-90 USD, and shipping to Australia would be pretty expensive. Decent deal in my mind.

$70 bucks is a good price for NIB (not used) Urban.

AFAIK, the Urban is not being discontinued and sold at close out prices. MSRP is $150, which would place wholesale at over $75. Unless the knife is from an individual who just didn't like it, or "won" in a eBay auction where the seller took a beating, I would strongly suspect there's something fishy going on.

This one's from over at KF and I think I saw it at BF as well. The seller is a female (I'm very trusting) and there are pics of the knife in question. I can send you a link if needed. I hope its for real..

No worry, I'd put that in the "knife is from an individual who just didn't like it" category. Unless she's selling ten of them. ;) :D
