posted this on bf but wasnt getting much replies:

hey guys, there is a shop selling those two knives and I was wondering if it was worth it to get? are those rare collectibles now?

(ps. the lil temp tp was going for nearly $200+ forgot to check the lum tanto)

Most online dealers probably don't have any left, so if you can get one or both for a decent price, they are both very highly collectible.

The Lum typically goes for $200 if not more, and I haven't watched the Lil' Temps in a while, but $140 sounds about what they're probably worth.

If the Lum is inder $120, and the Lil' Temp under $100, it's probably a bargain.

Welcome to the Forum :cool:

***Editted because I saw what you posted about the Lil' Temp price. WAY TOO HIGH. You can get them cheaper just about anywhere else, like Ebay or Bladeforums***

yeah i know its expensive but generally anything i buy here (malaysia) is expensive.

for example: a SALT-I that I bought cost me 70USD after discounts. thats considered cheap here.

will it be wise to buy the lil temp for 200USD if you take into consideration what I paid for for the SALT?

thanks for the welcome smc.

Welcome!!!

Hello Jyeo,

Welcome!

The Lil T is awesome..and currently I haven't seen any on [url]http://www.ebay.com...and[/url] the Lums are going for lots of money...if you could get it for $150, you might even be able to make a profit on it! :D

Considering your location, if you can get your hands on either of those knives AT ALL, I'd consider it a deal. It'll be pricey, but getting older Spyders over there won't be all that easy, so it might still be a good deal.

Hi Jyeo, welcome to Spydie Central. I used to be married to a woman from Klang, been there twice...best country in Asia in my opinion...at least to a Kwai Lo (foreign devil) like me. ;)

Are you Malay, Chinese, Indian, or something else?

No we are no longer married. She wanted to be a princess, I wanted a partner, we parted ways.

I'm not sure I am qualified to be anyone's knife sifu, but I will try to answer any questions I know the answer to in an honest manner. If I don't know the answer, I will usually make a weird joke. ;)
