After Sale Lounge

Less fumbling this time vs. the last sale but still just not quite fast enough.:(

I think I'm going to go out now into my back yard/woods along with my trusty Behemoth Chopper and release bit of this pent up frustration upon some vines and saplings that needs to cleared!
 
Sorry to clutter the sales thread, I passed my spot on down (I've got my SSSDFK already, love it, but don't really need a second).

I've been working with my Starlink connection (reasonably fast, unreasonably high latency). This post was to test if I'll ever be able to buy another CPK once I turn down my T1 connection (unbelievably slow, really low latency) that has served me reasonably well so far. Looks like I'll never score a bowie or Friday Fun Sale, but may have a chance on sales with more than 5 or 10 knives.

You don't know how well you're going to race until you get on the track! 🤔 🤷‍♂️
 
I posted the sale. It took about 6 seconds to load. Then I refreshed and posted in the sale. It couldn't have been more than 10 seconds and I came in at #64.

That's pretty brutal. We might need to make some adjustments here.

How pray tell, do you make adjustments, beyond becoming less popular or making a ton more knives?

1. Make more knives (I only repeated this because it's the only solution that will make everybody but Nathan the Machinist Nathan the Machinist happy; Nathan would just have to cry all the way to the bank!)

2. Pick a number, randomly, between 1 and 10. Announce it ahead of time, or don't, as seems appropriate. For example, 3. Then every third post gets to purchase.

3. Release a few knives, here and there, at random times, and unannounced.

4. Raise the prices (running to look for cover).
:D

ETA: I'm not advocating for change, just throwing out some random thoughts (oh oh, wrong thread...). I'm OK with the current system, or any changes Nathan sees fit to implement; after all, it's his game, I'm just playing in it.
