Not to be a dick, but you'd think they would have posted some good pictures.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope the buyer isn't expecting to get a new looking knife with no wear on it.

No one is bidding to get a "new" knife. They're buying history (and provenance).

$25K for THAT and it wasn't even used on Bin Laden?

I wonder how much they could've gotten for this shrunken head, were it at least still capable of holding water?








Never mind...I forgot it IS.

completely agree, and I am not surprised it went that high.

That's my thought...if you are selling something that is going to go for as much as a loaded Mustang 5.0, you might want to add some high-res pics and maybe have Emerson add a new model or one of his collector boxes to go with it, or possibly a picture of what authenticates it... still, very glad to see it went high given what it benefits and it's really nice of them to do that.

How would someone be able to verify it's authenticity? I mean it could be any old beat up CQC-7.
