Ive only been hanging around bladeforums for a couple months, so please excuse my ignorance. Would someone please tell where the "Ganzaa" will be held? The exchange? Bussecombat or Bussecompanystore?:confused: Id appreciate it.:D
 
it will be held right here. wait for the instructions and then follow them to the letter. :thumbup:

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.
 
Anyone who knows what kind of payment Jerry takes? (don't get me wrong here :D).

I would prefer PayPal or VISA payment (online)...

I've always paid by Discover Card; it's possible that they may take PayPal, but I don't know. You will be arranging payment with Busse Combat, so I guess that you could go to the bussecombat.com Web site, start an order, and leave once you get to the payment step to see what they take. Or, you might email them and ask:
