Being new to hinderer and loving it decided to research price trends, supply/demand curve, new products in pipeline . Good news for buyers and people just getting into the knives. Finally "co promotion" strategy has had market pricing correction. Promoting the same product as a brand to a private client limiting supplies and selling it as a generic product to another at significant discount finally causing the price being brought closer to generic prices. It was a matter of time before supply and demand would put enough product into the market (especially generic/priced one)to cause correction. That is why you are seeing the prices on the secondary market crashing from all time highs. Buying now literally can be catching a falling knife. Unless all production ceases the trend will continue into the unforeseeable future for xm model and will stabilize closer to the generic price. But, don't worry the company is not concerned . Hinderer has a new product coming to market that will probably be a brand sale only to the masses without massive discount initially. Than the occupational market may have its fill of special pricing. Good product , great strategy getting the product exposed to the masses trough occupational market will continue to assure the company many years of success.
 
felix... realizing you are new to the Forum, you may want to peruse the stickies. Subjects like pricing, secondary market, brand comparisons and deal spotting are just some of the topic areas we ask folks to avoid.
Glad you seem to be enjoying your XM18, as always we're here to help.
Thanks

I took some time and left, upon returning I will confine my comments to the following.
For most of us here, Our Hinderers do not represent a financial or economic consideration and beyond that - we are Friends with the Folks that make the things that have Rick's name on them.
To analagize what I am saying, discussions like these are a little like walking in on a couple guys discussing the "physical attributes" of your Wife and saying in response to your facial expression, "We were saying good stuff.....?"
BF is for discussion, that is certain but this is RHK and we have "Our" way too.
Welcome to be part of it :)
