  Why do you list the normal price as US$3.00 and AUS$3.99 (and the special price as US$1.75 and AUS$2.33)?

  Do you know that currently, US$3.00 is about AUS$2.84? If the special price is US$1.75, that makes it AU$1.65.

      Yeah, I’m sick of this s%$t too, especially for the online shop. I can forgive some for the retails as our minimum wage is so much f&^king higher than other developed countries. We only can blame di(k head politicians who can not fix our economy.

  Likely won't make it through customs.

  It folds -> you can 'flick' it open (how many folding knives can't you swing open…) -> it's a 'flick knife' weapon. Politicians and their career advancement ftw.

    Likely won't make it through customs

    And they know it:

    Customers should check whether this product can be imported or not. We are not responsible for customs confiscations or punishment due to the destination country's local laws or regulations

      I don't think your neg is following the guidelines.
      Also you aren't even sure if it will get through customs so it's pretty poor form.

      It probably wouldn't pass a customs test. They've been clamping down on folding knives.
      If they see it they'll probably take it.

      If you are going to neg something back it up with some proof.
      I checked customs,if the knife can be opened with one hand then it's banned.

      Rep can you answer this -
      Do you open it with 2 hands like a pocket knife,or 1 hand like a flick knife?

    Yeah everyone should have a flick knife, mate. The world would be a better place.

      Right on! Flick knives don't cut people, people with flick knives cut people… and other knives… and shoes! Wait, I'm getting confused with the "amazing" Ginsu knives…

  Tried to buy.. got 10001 Internal Error - Internal Error

  Logged into Paypal to pay twice now. I might be double charged, yet no order completed.

  The checkout process just keeps looping because of the internal error.

  I would buy except for the crap Aud rate, as others have said inexcusable for online shops.
  Regarding buying in Pocket knives, as long as the blade is single edged and it is a manual release there is no problem, I have about 20 of varying design from overseas customs check them but let them through.
  What's the feeling regarding negging a deal due to the Aud exchange rate?

    Blades that can be rapidly deployed with one hand are not allowed to be imported, Im not sure about this knife cause it looks like it does have a small thumb stud, but I can't use thumb studs myself, so I consider thumb studs slow release

  geebee on 12/08/2012 - 13:49 ¶

  About 70% of mine are single handed thumb stud release, customs checked and passed them as ok.
  They don't allow press button gravity, flick, spring release blades, throwing knives or double edged blades.

  What happens if customs confiscates it? Do they return them to the seller?

    They will offer you the option of paying to have it returned to the seller, or having it destroyed.

      I thought it was the option to fight them in court, where they warn you it will be very costly to fight them in court if you lose (pretty aggressive letter really but they don't want to waste their time on some person trying to import one dodgey knife I guess), alternatively, do nothing and they'll destroy the item.
