eBay Disaster? My Fault or a Rip Off. Advanced Knife Bro Edition.

- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2022
- eBay is the Wild west for collectors, so what happened when I barely read a description for a bunch of old pocket knives? This video covers my thought process, and all the junk that came out of this mystery box. I started out oil, wet and greasy, and by the end I was like that but dirtier. Ka-Bar, Ulster, Ulcers, Schrade, Kutmaster, Camp Kings, Uncle Henry and more. Sorry no Case, Great Eastern Cutlery, Queen, GEC, or anything worth a poop.

The ole "set the shipping cost at the minimum amount I want to sell it for then start the auction at 99 cents" trick... Gets 'em everytime!
I’m guilty of looking at bids and current price and ignoring shipping… oh there’s bids it must be reasonable shipping.
if your a serious re seller shipping can be a biz expense on your taxes selling price is " profit"
Those fuckers.
That trick it especially tricky for those late night drinkers
@@tikofthetoka5650 I’ll drink to that!
As someone who makes many himself, I particularly enjoy viewing the anguish of others' poor financial decisions when it comes to this hobby. Well done Opposite of Advanced Ebay Bidder Bro.
Tbh, I love this format. But you should do baton tests on all of these. It's only fair.
You have helped me solidify to myself why I should not go for knife mystery boxes. Thank you for your time and sacrifice.
Never has a bro's disappointment been so entertaining👍
@@christophwilhelm6431 A Zima or 12 would have made this video less painful. For him.
@@arrowheadguys7637 I drank a whole case in 96 and it did absolutely nothing.. sugar free sprite
@@christophwilhelm6431 I tell myself the same thing every time I drink and entire case of anything. Nope, I'm totally fine.
@@arrowheadguys7637 Seriously, it's water.
This is why you don't browse on E-bay when you are 20 beers into a 30 pack . ( We've all done it,live and learn)
Your passion for vintage cutlery is infectious.
Back in the 90’s the EBay finds were commonly real...today sellers have it down to a science...
Every slip joint enthusiast has been down this road at least once. I did it because i promised myself i would refurbish anything with a full blade. 10 years later, they're all still soaking in the tub of mineral oil on my sharpening bench.
Naval jelly is your friend
After I watched this video, I felt much better about myself, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro. Thank you.
I’m here for everyone’s self esteem.
Bro ship those out as giveaways. “YOU TOO can enjoy the tetanus risk from a garbage knife found under the floormats of a rusted out Ford pickup”
The disappointment in 4K was gorgeous.
The knife equivalent of Storage Wars!
AKB is a warning to us all…. If you collect knives long enough, you too will also become insane and desperate enough to troll eBay. This vid is a public service. Thanks AKB
This video completely encapsulates the feeling you get after bidding on something at 2am and then spending the next week hoping someone else comes over the top. Then there is the general sadness when it shows up and you know you were duped.
I don’t know what’s more depressing, the condition of those knives or that anyone owns that many slipjoints, or that I watched a video about someone owning that many slipjoints.
Definitely the last one
Brilliant idea selling garbage for $80 shipped. Ima go package up some garbage to eBay now.
You were right, the Uncle Henry is in excellent shape and would go for around $30 on eBay.
Beer and eBay rarely result in good things 😂
No this was %100 worth it, I've always been tempted to do this and I think this will help me steer clear, seriously thank you.
And yes I came for the knives but I've stayed for the face
"It ain't a Kamp King without the BALE!"
Literally a trade mark
Always entertaining regardless of quality.
Also, I wonder what the seller's thought process was. "Put together a bag of rusty old useless knives, someone'll buy 'em." Pride of workmanship for realz.
Great video, The "USCG" marked burnt knife could be a WWII era United States Coast Guard knife.
That Imperial made in Germany looks a lot like something we'd call a "Toledo Knife" could be made anywhere from 1900 to 1990. I don't know why we call 'em Toledo Knife but they were the first "Gentleman" Knives and usually had very elaborately decorated scales
Remarkable...I could smell that bag through the video. I had to go wash my hands after watching.
The small manicure knives from Solingen / Germany have been a mainstay of their industry. Besides simple "peasant" Sodbusters and "Nicker" hunting fixed blades and the Black Cat, these might be the quintessential "German" pocket knives.
Encase them all in resin on top of an old table and make that your new table top background.
This
I think we’ve all been bitten by eBay. I thought the Engraved German you did in the beginning would clean up nicely. Also thank you for the video
Perfect for my second Saturday off in seven years. I was worried I would be productive so thank you for doing what you do.
Your excitement and enthusiasm really jumped off the screen!!! One serious issue though….no batoning? You could have tested one of those jems, and batoned….maybe a banana. If one were to baton a slip joint, with a slip joint….would knife snob heads explode?
The best finds I think were:
The uncle Henry
The Kabar TL-29 (military knife, later sold commercially to civilians)
The USCG (if restored) could maybe be cool haha
G C Co I want to say was Gutmann Cutlery Corp. they did a lot of importing from Germany, italy, and Japan?
That bottle-opener on the main blade of that contact-paper looks extremely safe...
At least this week you didn’t make me want to buy anything. You’re an Unfluencer too. You’re truly advanced.
Looks exactly like the cigar boxes full of crappy old guy knives that me and my cousins had when we were kids.
Online or in a store - I'm pretty sure most of us have spent money that we later regretted and were scratching our heads "Why'd I do THAT! HUH?" I've got one of those chunky handled pruning knives, but with a stronger curve in the blade. I like it just because it looks wicked while being something you use on FLOWER stems. I'd love it more if it had some kind of lock on it, the idea of that curved edge biting into my fingers quite gives me the 'jeebies'. Not many content creators could share twenty minutes of self loathing and regret with such elan. Top job.
I was a little to stoked about Friday. I want to thank you for bring me down. Have a great day. lol. Thanks for all the videos Bro.
The bright side of this is that with The use of a wire wheel and some oil you have a good set of knives you could use to play Mobley Peg
Mumboly Peg
"Rostfrei" is German for stainless steel. That Hong Kong knife didn't have ROSTEREI printed on it, it said ROSTFREI.
A lot of stainless steel knives in the 20th century had ROSTFREI stamped on the tang, including Victorinox.
🤷♂️
Good content if nothing else. I buy something maybe once a year on eBay and only if its not an auction. If I ever place a bid on on the most obscure, random piece of shit that only I would want, some other asshole will still outbid me.
"Is this a big waste of everyone's time"
Well..yeah, but go ahead, we'll watch 😉
Lol, thanks for sharing this “anticipation of doom” experience. Sometimes you get a good one in a random grab bag and sometime you get a bag of flaming poo. Eh, such is life. Enjoy your Kutmaster and Uncle Henry!
I have a USA-made balisong that I purchased over 20 years ago that is literally the worst knife I've ever seen.
You had me dying man! This is such a great channel. Especially when I need some laughs. Hahaha
Try a gunshow. One i frequent has a guy that sells TSA confiscation knives for cheap. Look over, pick what you want, clean at home. Found a few decent ones
It's nice to see a knife reviewer who doesn't treat everything made in USA as it is sacred.
Just joined the Patreon love the vids and keep up the good work ❤️
“These are going to part of an up coming giveaway” 😂
May not have been worth $80 but it sure was entertaining to watch
Cant wait to see the restauration videos!!!
And hi patterns.
Patreons it is.
Dam autocorrect.
Remember the 007 flick knives? Would be cool to see you review them and give a history. Thanx much my guy, keep up the awesome work.
Watched a few videos of these "TSA confiscated" lots, but it's clear nice(r) stuff would've been picked out already... Or, people would rather miss a flight than ditch their nice knife (can you send stuff home from the airport?).
Glad you didn't hurt yourself going through that junk.
I'm from Ulster. Never knew about Ulster knives though. Think I'll give them a miss.
I have always wondered if those bulk lots or TSA grab-bags were as bad as they looked. Thanks for confirming that they are even worse by the look of it. I'm pretty sure they comb through the lots and pull out anything actually worthwhile to sell individually, and these are just the dregs.
I'm sorry for your loss.
This video gave me PTSD from working as an Estate Auction Auditor. How many grieving widows and children who thought grand pappys Big 5 / Flea Market collection was a gold mine. Half the time the boxes that held the knives were far more valuable than the knives themselves.
I think that the second knife is a US made Schrade 897UH from the 90thies, they are actually worth som money!
It's not a bad find! Good score, clean them up and do a giveaway vid or something with them. That TL 29 is military issue, you did damn good with the UH too! Your vids are the funniest
Hope you have a updated Tetanus shot !!!
Your pain was palpable, but your humor and wit remained intact.
We all win here, Mr. Bro.
It was like the Mozart of knife unboxings. Feelings of regret in the beginning, slowly turning to anguish, and eventually building to a quiet rage around the nineteen minute mark. Then, nearing the end it slowly transformed into grief, with all of it coming together at the end once he accepted all of the events that had led him to that moment.
A true masterpiece.
I bought a box of small Swiss Army knives a few years ago. The ones that worked I put into a bag and let the winners of the cornhole game pick one. If they argued about who won, I let each one pick one. LPT: Don't argue with bikers at animal shelter fundraisers.Everyone was happy to get a SAK. I still have 20+ left. On a related note: people actually EBay their kitchen junk drawers. I have seen the posts. Mine is better than any I have seen. It does not contain any disintegrated rubber bands, and the roll of Scotch tape is still in the dispenser!
I feel your pain. I got excited on a manix 2 with 1/4 inch of tip missing. Of course I won the auction
I have the sinking feeling that I would watch this man clean out the garage while drinking and cussing. Is this a new low or just a refinement in what I accept as entertainment?
I have 3 of those camp kings all from different places and all of them have that blade snapped off! WTF! why! what he hell was it used for
eBay is rough if you're not paying attention to every detail, I learned that too
Never buy "mystery lots" of anything. It's always shit people who sell at flea markets left behind because it wasn't worth the time packing it up at the end of the day.
Always appreciate the videos though!
Somehow I feel dirty watching that 😂 loved the commentary
Great video!
Is it schadenfreude or just a connection that I’ve been there too!?!
Be afraid be very afraid of “great deals” on eBay.
At least all of those USA made knives are made in USA not like the Benchmade and Spyderco ripoff knives from China. These are probably pawn shop leftovers from estate sales where it represents about 20 garages, sheds, and junk drawers from our dearly departed of that Greatest Generation.
Thank you for this video it was very cathartic. 🙏
Who caress if it’s actually made in the USA if it’s a complete piece of shit?
big question is the package worth the prize you paid for it
Wait! I’ll BUY the electrician’s knife for $50. No questions asked.
…Ahhh, gotcha!
Awesome video bro !
When are you going to review the new line up of flashlights? It’s getting exciting again with new companies eagerly building their brands
Dude..... Your house is haunted. Lil ghost boy said "hello" at 10:24. Sooooo yeah good luck with that... 😂
solid Al Capone's Vault vibes.
You make me feel so good about my shitty eBay purchase. Thank Advanced Knife Bro 👍
I’m sorry this happened to you. That was rough
Ulster pocketknife are quite collectable items now.
beautiful knife opener
That’s a cool bag of throwing knives.
I like this...Great video!🦉
😂😂😂 Thank you, that was utterly hilarious!
The one at 9:00 id clean it up and carry the crap out of that knife. The long pull carbon blades just did it for me 🤩
Oh boy that was fun.
I feel better about some of my purchases.
Thanks
What amazes me most is somebody actually had them in their pocket to get taken
"we make trash here too." 😆
how many blade in total
I predict this Ebay fail /knife humiliation video could be one of your biggest hits so far this year, just watch. Can't lose with that title bro. ;)
Maybe next time.. a respirator and rubber gloves? lol
Good Content.
Also, the fact that you were not wearing gloves while handling this trash gave me anxiety
I’m kinda gross sometimes.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Aren't we all
@@AJLikesCats Yeah, only difference is most of us don't film it and post it to the internet.
Ah, the joys of eBay knife buying.
Wife balancing. Sounds fun!
“Where’s the broken one?” 😂
i died when u tried to say "rostfrei" on the hongkong knife, this is the term for stainless in german man not the brand :D
subbed - cheers & kind regards from austria
Why didn’t you smell the bag as soon as you opened it
Feel for you man that looked painful
I'm always worried about those kind of sales every once in awhile you get a deal like estate sale stuff but Ebay has lost its luster as a website for deals might be cool to try some restoring on some knives you don't care about
And the final gift 🎁 the bag full of rust dust from all those knives 😂
Haha, I enjoyed every second of this, and I am smiling as I type this. 😊
Nobody does hot garbage as well as you. Keep it up, good job man.
I think I need a long slow root canal after this.😜
"Makeup Dept." Dude I've seen Long Covid suffers that look better. Enjoyed the vid dude!
Just got home from work and had to shut the air off for recording. It was not ideal- which I guess fits the theme. Greasy dude, greasy knives
7:17 😅 I feel that expression.
So refreshing. TYFYS...
lmfao " god damn nail ripper "
Kind of you to donate to that eBayer's recycling effort ;)
