I have, sometimes because it was a good deal, and sometimes because I find something I really want but it isn't made anymore.
Like this morning when I found and bought a Schrade 158OT "Guthook Skinner" from BB3 in the classifieds. Made in the USA, which would mean it was made at the Schrade plant on Route 209 in Ellenville NY, which I passed numerous times as a kid/young man heading upstate deer hunting/scouting over the years. Always wanted one, and suddenly the plant closed and whatever Schrade was making was not what it used to be. I know I'm old school, made in the USA really means something to me.
