>Someone on this sub posted theirs a while back saying they paid about $700 for it

Yeah that was me. At first I had initially contemplated getting this white titanium variant from the Japanese seller OP was talking about since it looks sexy as hell, but didn't feel like shelling out the extra $300 (that, and paying that much money for an item from overseas for a chance for it to get lost in customs or etc. wasn't worth the chance).

I do wish Zippo would revive the solid titanium models again given how increasingly popular titanium has become with the EDC community.
