Someone probably just wanted those scales. It's been mentioned before that scales collectors pay a lot of money for certain ones. I don't see anything special, but I'm not a scales collector.

WOW, that's terrible! I don't know whether to feel bad for the buyer or to blame him for not doing his homework!
Certain patterns of scale of that style are exceedingly rare in good condition -particularly with the coloring intact. Not my thing, but the people who want them don't care if the blade is trashed
I have a Dremel... I can fix that one right up!
Multi-colored Arkansas stone looks more like a coticule. In the questions sections someone even tells the seller the stone is a coticlue. Can the title of a listing not be changed?

I've had to revise a title before. I just sent the seller message & told him/her that they should be able to revise the title on the Cuticle.
I think it is something like 12 hrs before an item mens certain things can be revised unless they have changed it.
EDIT: Well, it seems eBay has changed things around again. The seller wrote back & said they tried but it wouldn't let them. It just goes to show that you must check your listing first or make sure you know what you are listing. I have had things happen to me before & gone back & changed them. Oh well........:shrug:
I hope it works out for them.
here's an interesting one. the seller states it's a frictionite (a belgian one at that) doesn't look like one to me. i contacted him to ask how he knew it was one. waiting for a reply.

Very interesting tintin. I'm wondering what their reply will be, if he/she replies! I looked at their other items & found this fishing lure they want $15,000 BIN or starting bid is $4,500! Now I wonder how they came up with that figure?
