Did I just pull a double first post? My god. I need to think about this a second. It feels wrong, I may need to pass on one....

I agree, you should definitely pass on the Signature Series! And I am not just saying that because I was #6! It is just way too expensive for what it is. The basic is such a bargain! You can't justify spending nearly $1000 on two knives when we are about to enter a recession! Keep your powder dry! You know what you need to do!!
 
I like the black better. Actually, the natural is really good and ages really well. The old antique micarta is the best product we offer but, unfortunately, it is not available to buy as a current production. Next to it, the black and natural phenolics we offer are the best materials in our arsenal. The fact they're also the most affordable is incidental.
 
This is totally ridiculous but with all the recent putrid and pathetic placements in the Fridays' sales, I finally cracked and got myself a new (actually NOS) MacBook Air just to dedicate to CPKs sales. With the main 'puter running multiple browsers and windows, the extra nanoseconds of processing lag has been kicking my arse. Still there are issues such as luck of the draw on page refresh and slower reactive fingers/brain command due to age advancement, but an old CoCK can't just give up so easily to the whippersnapper new blood. By the way, the MacBook Air and Mac is not generally the greatest device for this purpose, but I had to justify that purchase somehow!

You don't close everything else on the computer when prepping for a sale?

I always thought that connection speed, shortcuts and all that were what separated me from the fast guys, but after somehow placing 3rd for the SS yesterday on my phone (not aware of any shortcuts on a phone), I think luck of the refresh is the biggest factor (obviously, you still need to be fast even with a good refresh).

All the times I've actually gotten decent placement, have been on my phone, sometimes, with abysmal connections by the roadside (i.e. I used Speedtest a few minutes before the hour to see what kind of speeds I was getting, and one of the previous times I placed well, I think I had something like a 1.6Mb DL and 0.7Mb UL).

I've had crappy placement far more often, and those times, it was because I needed multiple refresh attempts. Sometimes, being booted after waiting impatiently for 30+ seconds for the page to load because the old server was overwhelmed. With the last 2 sales, simply from being too slow.

Of course, Daverous may have the actual answer, seeing how he managed to be 1st TWICE yesterday.
