BladeShowGanzaaaaaaa 2012 . . . . . Coming Soon ! ! ! ! . . . . YOWZA!!!

Here's a description I wrote for the Scrap Yard Forum a while back:

Jerry Busse will periodically post an announcement of knives that will be sold online at the BladeForums Busse Combat sub-forum. He will announce prices, a time-range when the 'ganza will begin, and where to send an email order request. You compose an email providing contact information, requesting what you want (and in what quantities -- you should also list alternate selections in case what you want is already sold out, because there may only be one or two of some customs), then you wait. When the 'ganza time begins, you try to constantly refresh BladeForums and the Busse Combat Web site's forum, because at some point, Jerry will make a "GO, GO, GO" post. As soon as possible afterward, you send your email order request. Requests are filled in the order that they're received, but if you send before Jerry's post, your request goes to the back of the line.

Some imposters will create BladeForums accounts with names similar to Jerry Busse (like "Jerry 8usse") and try to fool people into sending early by posting false "GO, GO, GO" threads. I really don't like that game, but it's a tradition that's part of the culture, so you just have to be careful. Then you wait for a few days, at which time you'll receive an email notice of what you got and saying to contact Busse Combat to arrange payment, or they'll tell you sorry, nothing you requested was available.

Also, because of the large volume of traffic during a 'ganza, the BladeForums Web site will frequently become unresponsive -- you just keep refreshing and hope to get in to see when the post hits -- getting your order in early is an exercise in perseverance and luck.
