First of all, I'm groovy with him making whatever he can make. But he was making money when he sold me one at $117. The price on the website (sold out) is now $146.25, or about $30 more than the margin was at $117.

So, unless he was selling them at a loss at $117 - which of course he was not - he's got a good margin on each knife. At least $40 - $50, unless I have my head up my rear end, which is quite possible. :) He's certainly entitled to make money on this thing, because he's putting up the capital and taking the risk. I commend him for that, as I do Brother Spark on the Skyline deal. But lets just be clear that these dealer exclusives are not done as merely a courtesy to the consumer. There's some serious coinage flying back and forth.

No doubt there is profit. I wonder what the spread was on the varying prices? 50/50? $117 seemed like a damn good deal given it's just a few more bucks than an S30V.

It makes me wonder why my local knife shop charges $189 for a stock P2. He wonders why the gather dust...
 
Just got my two. Both are very smooth, dead centered blades, and a great thin edge.:thumbup:
 
Just got email with tracking#. Question is will it make it from Idaho to Illinois by Saturday or do I have to suffer through the weekend and countless pictures of other peoples orange P2s!!!!!!! I've been waiting for something to kick the small 21 out of my pocket and give it a break!
 
Yeah, I'm pretty patient, but I'm making it harder on myself by checking this thread every few minutes. Now that the photos are gonna start rolling in, it's making things even tougher!

(4) up on eBay now and you can start the bidding at just over a measly $300!

That's funny and sad. The funny thing is that it will probably sell and the sad thing is that someone will pay it! :D

Not me, I dont need one that bad....
 
Can't blame a businessman for cashing in during the initial craze. This is the least expensive short run lately but the immediate secondary prices are looking more in the CF/S90V price range.
 
Just received my shipped confirmation email from CS! Sweet! Oh, the memories of $400 CF Millies and $500 ZT0560s on the bay. I am so fascinated by what people are willing to pay these days.
 
Yay! My Orange P2 has shipped!

Just curious, but for those of you who've received your PM2 (or it's shipping), on what date did you order?

I am curious as well, I don't know exactly when you ordered yours allyourblood but we posted that we purchased on or near the same time in the original thread. To be specific I purchased mine at 6;47pm MT on the 30th of Dec; I haven't been charged/received any email as of right now.

Thanks for that. I just checked my e-mail right now, and I received my order confirmation at 1:50pm PST, 12/30. That you and I ordered so close together and haven't received a recent e-mail gives me a little more reason to believe that they're shipping out in order. Maybe if we get a few more folks to chime in, we'll know for sure.
