Gotta love the reviews on that page, "Im sorry but the mark up on this is rediculouse. Bud k has the exact same sword for 30 bucks www.budk.com/product/300-Spartan-Warrior-Replica-Sword/159456.uts Come on guys dont rip your customers off. you have a lot of good items and a lot of great prices on some things, dont ruin it like this.

Dadgum redicilous

Looks like a good sale for anyone who likes that style or the movies.

I should start my own business...

First it's not the same sword. It looks similar but the dimensions, and grip are off. Atlanta Cutlery pays to have their movie replicas licensed
by the movie studio. Bud K is known to buy imitation pieces and sell them. Please note the packaging on their product doesn't say anything about the 300 movie. Atlanta cutlery's does. They arn't showing the box because this is old stock (reason for it being marked down)) and the license has expired.

So if you want "the movie replica" buy the AC one, if you want something that will look "cool" to your friends buy the Bud K.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
