Well, I guess reputation comes at a price. In truth, the Ebay ones are used, so it's normal to be a under the street price. I came across them while searching for a Feather non-folding. And I guess that's what I'll be going after. I can't take the risk with the Ebayer and I simply cannot afford a brand new Iwasaki. Perhaps some other time, though.

Thank you all for your time.

Kind regards,
